Too many day trippers (new season ticket holders)

8am kit drop the morning after we draw 1-1 with Huddersfield, the momentum behind this shirt is massive

I could see from watching all of those players they were going to be regular contributors who would improve the squad - are there even any nailed-on starters in any of the summer signings this year?

Don’t be silly - all of them bar maybe Gyokeres looked promising in their first eight games for us. The fees for all of them combined might not have been enough to sign Liam Kitching this summer.

While you’re certainly not wrong, my main reason for feeling miserable about the team tonight is the thought that we’ve apparently squandered a once-in-a-generation opportunity to bolster the team with tens of millions worth of new signings. If we still had the money in the bank at least I’d...

Not sure how Sakamoto shirt sales in Japan were going to pay for his transfer fee considering we couldn’t even dispatch them to Nuneaton.

In which case, why did we break our transfer record for a defender we didn’t need that much?

How dare you - Liam Kitching is worth a lot more than £4 million (apparently, we wouldn’t know)

If “the old guard” think they can try and get ahead of the criticism of their own declining performances by leaking rumours to sympathetic ears then they can fuck off as well tbh

Starting to think that poaching the Director of Football from St Albans City and giving him £35 million to spend may not have been the genius move we thought it would be.

Sure, but Kitching was likely recommended to Robins by the scouting team (who apparently did little else than watch old Barnsley DVDs this summer) and convinced him he was the answer to the LCB issue that Robins clearly wanted to solve. MR isn’t out there unearthing all these guys himself...

The recruitment team’s job is to identify potential signings and recommend their abilities to the manager. The buck stops with Robins, but if he’s being sold duds when he was assured they were diamonds, that falls on the recruitment team who were trusted with finding gems.

High praise indeed!

Again - when has he ever done a job for us off the bench?

Wilson 6 Sakamoto 6 I wouldn’t like to see him tested defensively much more than he was tonight Thomas 6 McFadzean 6 Played well and then lost the plot for the goal Binks 6 See above Dasilva 7 Eccles 6 His set pieces aren’t doing it for me Kelly 7 Ayari 5 Hasn’t yet learned to ignore the...

Playing for the US more than Haji Wright and signing for QPR is generally not the sign of a rip-roaring football talent

Chris Badlan got slated for signing Kastaneer and Bouwe Bosma, while people on here were singing Dean Austin’s praises all summer.

In other news, it’s been almost a month now, do you think we might be able to see our most expensive defensive signing in club history start a game?

Feel sorry for him but he’s been one of the worst signings of the Robins Championship era. It’s time to move on.

He’s never done it with us, and let’s be honest, he never will. We deserve so much better.
