That was always the bedwetters though.

This last 2 weeks summarises the highs and lows of following your team! We’ve gone from doom-mongering about relegation to being within 3 points of playoffs on the back of signing one of the leagues best midfielders. When we’re doing poorly, I admit that there were times away days felt a bit...

That is also nonsense.

Why would we blunt our attack the moment we’re back in the playoff race? You can’t have Bassette as your deputy striker, he is a promising development piece, not quite good enough at this level right now.

100% on both fronts. They’ve both took their chances after being selected. That said, it was baffling just how little game time Simms and Kitching were getting until recently. Allen should get a new contract unless we’re planning on signing another player and Sheaf extends his contract.

You also said that about Allen, any progress on that?

Oooops! I meant Haji and Simms above BTA in the pecking order.

That’s just nonsense.

Eccles is a better player than Allen, the role that Lampard wants for that central CM is just better suited to Allen because he’s being asked to cover a lot of ground.

I’d like to see Grimes play if possible, Leeds is a game that we need his quality. I’ll have no complaints if the team remains unchanged.

Simple answer - yes. We finished 9th last season and improved the team, it’s definitely capable of competing for a playoff spot. There are some gaps in the squad, which we’ve addressed by signing Grimes. A player or two by Monday 23:00 and we could be laughing.

BTA ran to celebrate as soon as he hit it because he knew he hit it perfect. Great goal and intentional, he deserves all the plaudits for scoring a potential GOTS.

He always struck me as more of a solid role player. Grimes and Sheaf are division leading players, Eccles isn’t. For now, he doesn’t suit the system we’re trying to play with Torp and Rudoni operating high and wide for CMs, Allen suits it because he covers a lot of ground that Sheaf and Eccles...

Playing players in their preferred positions generally helps. He was WBA’s top scorer last season, he was always going to be better than Bassette and to add value to our squad. Haji and Simms are above BTA in the pecking order but he’s a fine player to have in the squad. As soon as Lampard...

I know, was trying to add-on to what you was saying! Edwards is a great signing for Championship team, it’s well worth viewing our signing as being up there too!

Agreed, Swansea this season have played him deeper, in front of the back 4, and it’s inevitably made his attacking output drop. Sheaf will almost definitely play when he’s fit and available. The last spot will be between Rudoni and Torp. Though, I wouldn’t discount Rudoni playing a few games at...

Signing Matt Grimes is also up there as one of the best imo. We can’t compete with the likes of Leeds, Burnley and Sheffield Utd.

On the train now, feeling confident for a win. Signing their best player is a right kick in the teeth. ‘he left ‘cause your shit…’

I find it more plausible that Robins was threatened by a high flyer coach at the time, personally. Where we were when Viveash came in, we were in L2 so there was plenty of time to grow in the role. It’s been said that he was apparently quite an alienating figure with the squad in 23/24 with his...

Deliberately undermining your manager doesn’t make sense in any case. The costs involved getting rid of Robins and his staff outweigh the costs of just hiring top coaches for MR. I completely get that the owner may have lost faith weeks before he swung the axe and King even admitted he had...
