To clarify, I wasn’t proposing Sara as a realistic target for us as he is a cut above the Championship. The point was more that we need a player who can produce number like he has to elevate our own team. At Norwich away he looked a level above against Torp and Eccles. He seems to score lots of...

It is also a 5 year plan, not a 1-2 seasons go all in for Premiership football. The stated goal is to get promotion and stay in the Prem. That’s a long process and of our squad right now, there aren’t many who could perform at that level over 38 games. A few loans when we’re ready to really go...

Sheaf isn’t the kind of player that will start banging in the goals any time soon - that’s not really his game. He’s close to the peak of his value as a premiership player and at 26, he will want a move if there’s serious interest in him. If we need 6-8 players, which is a number I’d agree...

How many players do you believe we need for a playoff push? Assuming Gyokeres leaves for €100m early in the window, we're set for £7-10 million - would that fund the players you think we need?

We would've got more for both players if they have 24 months on their contract rather than 12. We got great deals given the circumstances, but we didn't maximise their value.

They have 13 in the league and none since February. I’ve defined ‘midfield’ as all our CMs and AMs and frankly, it's a weakness that they've scored so few goals. Look at Norwich's Sara who's putting in Hamer numbers (12 goals, 13 assists), a player like that is the difference in getting us into...

The reality is that we need to continually sell players to get to the next level. We've turned Hamer and Vik into 5-6 saleable assets that can keep us competitive in our journey. We still need quite a few players before we can really challenge at the top of the table and if we get a good deal...

Yes, we do because there's next to no goals in midfield. In the league campaign, we've mustered 12 goals all season from midfield compared to 9 goals from defence. It's not good enough.

Unfortunately, he has 2 years left as it expires in June 2026. The club needs to make a decision because his value is at its peak right now. If the club doesn’t think we’re nailed on for automatics next season, then the best decision is to probably cash in and get more players in. We’re close...

Sheaf Wright Simms Thomas MVE

We have 2 CBs going into next season, 3 if you include Lati who’s covering MVE at RB too. I believe our resident ITKs reckon we’re going for 2 CBs.

To things back in perspective, the objective Robins was set by King was to compete for a playoff place. In the end, would spending a lot of budget on loanees made the difference this season? I don’t think so and if it was the difference between securing EMC permanently, we’ve took the right...

He’s a good defender, it was only a couple of months ago people were fawning over him. His red card today was a ‘good’ one to receive.

Even as a fan, I’m burnt out, let alone the players! A lot of positives to take from this campaign and we’re close to having the quality needed to challenge next season!

Without Sheaf today, our midfield looked hopeless. The highlight of the game was the McFadz send off. It was really nice and you could see that it touched McFadz! Well deserved! ❤️

I’d like to know who is watching someone watch a game of football for ‘entertainment’. The clips can be funny but it’s all performative… I did enjoy the 19 minutes of meltdown.

They reinvested ‘properly’ last summer too…

Norwich, WBA, Hull, Leeds, Southampton and even Leicester (pre-red card) were better than than us at moving the ball through midfield than we were. I can't comment on Ipswich as I missed that fixture. Torp has shown some real glimpses of class but he's not really shown this consistently yet.

We’re not ready for promotion - we need a good 5-6 players to come in. Yes there are mitigating factors, but our form against our competitors tells the story of this season. We haven’t had the quality to beat (or at least not lose) against the top half teams. Against the top half, we’ve got: 4...

You talk about conceding goals as if defence isn't a team effort. Yes, there's been individual defensive errors and there's been times our midfield has been bypassed out wide and and down the middle and we've failed to defend from the front. Take Man U as an example, we exposed them (and...
