I just wish we had signed some better midfielders that could be effective without Sheaf.

I think Frank Moussa was the only one to have been considered successful

Wasn't the only reason and not even the main reason really you are right, although can't deny his replacement was overall less effective. Was more making a point about how other posters were trying to say our best run of form came without them in the team

I wouldn't be that glad because Watford will beat us

Sheaf and O"Hare were integral to our best run of form last season from probably the Birmingham match up until the Stoke match. Started going south with Robins having a funny turn with O'Hare

Or to get a better midfielder han Torp, Allen and Eccles that doesn't need Sheaf alongside them to hold their hand. So we could actually cope in matches when/if Sheaf was unavailable

Top 10 before today's match don't forget

Just hope he bangs in 20 goals and we can get a good fee for him next summer now

Sorry didn't realise you were an itk, Robin's has implied several times his input on transfers is less than it used to be. I'm sure if it was up to only him he would have utilised the loan market more to cover certain areas of the pitch.

I'm not sure Robins has as much influence on the recruitment as he used to. If he does, then yea he will need to take the responsibility for that and us being short in key areas.

Based on the money spent, yes Based on the squad we've assembled with that money, no

Expectations have to be changed due to the lack of reinforcement in midfield. I would expect us to be around 8th-12th this season, anything less is an underperformance and anything above is an overperformance. Pretty disappointing still when you consider the money spent that we've failed to...

If we had strengthened properly in midfield and were serving this up I would agree

£10 million on emc, bta and bassette whilst we persist with eccles and torp in midfield and Allen as back up

Whilst Robins should take some blame, it was obvious we needed strengthening in midfield which hasn't happened.

Still top half mate

Here we go again

I wouldn't expect you to, illustrating my point that league position is largely irrelevant at this point.

I won't be saying that the midfield is a top 6 quality based off 4 matches. Anyone who would use 4 matches as evidence that the current midfield without Sheaf are top 6 quality over a 46 game season are daft.

And if we lose today and drop 7 or 8 places will you be suddenly saying I was right and the midfield is shit without Sheaf, course not you will say it's only one game and win the next one and we will be back in the top half. You can't judge on the league position at this point.
