Strongly disagree. The 20m Sheaf played v Oxford was our most positive and in control we’ve looked. Without him, Torp and Eccles are struggle to progress the ball through midfield and winning it back. Greg Downes put it accurately when he said Cov were lethargic and predictable. We won’t get...

I thought he was shouting something to the bench, personally. More in frustration about how the game was going. That was my interpretation but being the other side of the pitch it’s difficult to tell what went on.

We’re not good at keeping the ball or winning it back. To top it off, another soft goal conceded. Thomas and Kitching have kept 2 clean sheets so far, they should be starting in my view. I appreciate it’s not simple, but I don’t understand how we’ve not signed a CM or 2 this summer. Robins...

Agreed and this a process, the team is capable of getting playoffs and with some additions in Jan, we should be capable of pushing on. There’s no point over spending and this all ending in tears like it did at Derby. We’ve kept our star players and added some good depth in forward areas. All...

If he’s fell out with the manager as has been suggested, you just have to get him out of the door. It’s as simple as that, so there’s not much point dwelling on replacing a player that was a bench player for us.

I’m sure plenty of targets have been identified. Getting the deals over the line is a completely different matter.

Perhaps that’s his/his recruitment team’s fault? He sanctioned signing Bassette and BTA so clearly there was funds for a signing. If we’ve gone off chasing players who have no interest in joining us, that isn’t DK’s fault. We had £4m earmarked for Stamenic so funds were there.

He literally played the most minutes per 90 in our team (82 minutes) and ranked 7th last season for minutes played. For context, Eccles minutes per 90 was 73 and he was our second in appearances after Simms. Perhaps if he didn’t have to play every minute of every game, he wouldn’t get injured...

No and with that Will King tweet makes me think something will happen. Mostly fool’s hope…

I’ve just said ideally you’d want to get 40+ games out of him. He also wasn’t injured for all of those absences and in terms of minutes played, he ranked 7th in our squad (compared to 11th on appearances). Bearing in mind the players in front of him had 10+ more appearances than him, that’s a...

Unfortunately, the stats don’t corroborate what you believe to be the case. No team has had an xG of above 1 so far this season and the game you highlight v Bristol last weekend was even. So any idea teams should’ve put 3 goals past us is just ridiculous They paint the picture that Stoke and...

He played 36/53 games, that’s hardly considered sick note worthy. You obviously want players to hit 40+ games ideally but he’s playing most games.

He’s always made 30+ league appearances so as usual, it’s hyperbole to suggest his injury record is a problem.

Well, it’s no different to last season and we were in playoff contention until April. Midfield is an area that needs improving but it can wait until Jan if needs be.

Chief bedwetting or didn’t go to the games…

That doesn’t add up because Eccles lined up with Hamer/Kelly/Sheaf in 22/23 and we played more counter attacking that season. We had the 4th best defence that season. The midfield personnel, excluding Torp, have been with us the whole time we’ve been in the Championship. What has changed is...

We conceded soft goals with Sheaf in the team and the defenders haven’t changed…

We’ve clearly identified Bassette as one for the future. Imagine had we not executed the deal, he has a breakout year elsewhere and we miss out on him. The way he played flashed similarities with Gyokeres so it’s easy to see why the club have signed him even though he wasn’t in a priority position.

RB is not that much of a concern because MVE has proven his durability and Lati playing the odd game to deputise is decent enough. My concern is that we concede soft goals and that will cost us more points than MVE being injured for a stretch. The same, to a lesser extent, could be said for the...

They’re not errors at all, what nonsense is that! BTA was WBA’s top goal scorer last season and Bassette looks like a promising player. We’ve got a squad to build and sometimes, the best available players aren’t the positions of need. If we have to wait until January, so be it. I’ve been harsh...
