We needed a second starting calibre striker as Walker was our top scorer that season and Godden was out for about half the season. With Gyokeres, Walker and Godden in the team, I do think it made sense to add some experience. Waghorn’s haul of 5 or 6 goals for Derby the season before was...

Give peace a chance… ✌🏻 ☮️

I’ve got an offer to move down near Langley for work so looking for somewhere close by to live - I’ve briefly looked at Reading. I have my season ticket so will be travelling up to games. Count me in! Any recommendations on nice areas?

I don’t think Sakamoto was signed to be our first choice RWB. It’s likely that we’ve signed him to play in the box and either side of the WB slots. It’s a long season so having a player who can play WB and in the box is important.

I don’t blame him! Last summer our recruitment was light years from where we are this season. We signed Palmer on a permanent and that was it. With that in mind, last season was a miracle! This season we’ve spent money on 5 out of 6 signings with a further 9 to come! MR wasn’t bullshitting when...

I was never advocating signing Gallagher - I don’t know enough him. What I am commenting on generally, is that Godden’s stock is going down and he increasingly doesn’t look like a good fit for our style of play. Robins yesterday was banging on about speed on the ball. Godden often struggles to...

Why so arsey? Someone has woke up in a bad mood. If Championship teams like QPR, Ipswich or a L1 contender like Derby have genuine interest in him… you need to account for the possibility Godden may not want to be a squad player in his contract year. Especially if you’re going to be rude in...

Godden’s record without penalties last season was 1 in 5.75 games which is worst than a player you called ‘pretty wank’ (1 in 4.25 games).

If Godden had longer on his contract, he definitely stays to fulfill that role. If we can get £500-750k (or more somehow), it’s a move potentially in all parties favours: - we get a money for a player who’ll be 32 upon expiry of contract - Godden gets a relatively big contract for a potential...

It’s only a small difference, but Godden takes our penalties and his ratio isn’t as strong when you factor that into his record. Gallagher as far as I can see isn’t a penalty taker. How much is the quote for Gallagher? If it’s more than £2.5m, I’d be very surprised we were not more aggressive...

Given the turnover of players we’ve had, we’re going to be undervalued by the bookies.

Why is he ‘pretty wank?’ I can’t see Godden being a starter after our transfer business is complete. He hit some really good form in our second Championship season but either side of that was struggle with injuries or form.

Sam Gallagher has consistently got a 1 in 4-5 game ratio in Championship. Would it really be that bad a signing?

We’ve changed the way we play to be more direct and from my POV, it’s a bit difficult to see where Godden fits in. He’s a great poacher and works hard for the team but his impact is limited. Personally, it feels like a good time to cash in if we’ve got options lined up.

I know I’m projecting here, but the social media team flashing Hamer in all the training and match shots is positive to me. Classic confirmation bias though. With Gyokeres, I don’t think anyone believed he’d stay after the playoff final loss. Perhaps the recent paper talk with Hamer to Burnley...

We’ll sign a left sided defender soon. I do think McFadz needs to be replaced at some point. I think McNally could fill in that role in the future. I’ve seen Latibeaudiere has played left back in his career so may be able to cover there.

The club must find the conspiracy theories on SBT amusing…

Have you actually watched Bobby Thomas play? Plenty of players have proven they can make the grade. Including one McNally who we may be willing to pay £3-4m for. Likewise, Brentford paid £10m for Ivan Toney who went on to be the top scorer in the league without playing in the Championship...

Great minds think alike…

You don’t know the fine print of the deal. We were told £8m for Simms. Yet the details appear to be; initial fee of £3.5m raising to £5m based on performance and only raising to £8m upon promotion to the Prem. I doubt we playing big stack bully with the Gyokeres money. The deals seem to be...
