There was a sense of ‘we shouldn’t be here’ on Saturday. Whereas when we went down to L1 it was v typical for people to say how shit the league was (it is) and that we should be competing for the Prem. On no basis whatsoever. Robins is a cult hero atm, it would have to take a few disasters for...

You’re not wrong, but that doesn’t mean it wouldn’t a good addition nonetheless. If I recall correctly, Sheaf and Gyokeres struggled to get in the team as first choice starters on their loan spells. Gyokeres is our star striker and Sheaf has developed into one of the best progressive deep lying...

Thankfully, Robins’ stock is v high with Doug King and the fans so there’ll be a lot of patience with any setbacks next season - should it come to that. I don’t think Robins will leave either. We’re very clearly a good fit for one another. Looking at Nathan Jones and Ainsworth who have been on...

The main takeaways for me were: - Denounced racist abuse of Dabo and said he’d work with EFL/authorities - 3-5 seasons to be in the playoffs - Club needs to raise more revenue which we’re trying to do with a reference to the Premier League package I think that’s it. Jim White and Simon Jordan...

It’s about building over multiple seasons. We’re in a rebuild phase at the minute with a lot of players to come in. It’s likely Gyokeres will need to be sold and a record fee for him will allow for some reinvestment as well as putting the club on a sounder financial footing. Well run clubs don’t...

He said he’ll do in a sustainable fashion and we have a target of getting promoted via the playoffs and that takes time. A lot of fans need perspective. Not every owner is a billionaire or backed by a sovereign wealth fund. Mark Robins has said he’ll have more to spend, but not significantly...

Statistically, he seems like a v good acquisition and it's even nicer we've signed him from Bristol rather than them letting him go. A WB who's good on the ball and another to bomb forward like a winger sounds like the perfect blend for our system so I'm looking forward to seeing who we sign at...

Panzo is only 22 so he's got a lot of developing to do and is the kind of player we need to take on and improve. Much like Gyokeres, who was 3rd choice below Biamou at times and just kicked on with us after signing him permanently. Doyle is obviously the better player and talent but his future...

Kalas was Bristol's skipper before Pearson so he's a leader and I believe he did play the middle of a back three. On a side note, I rate McFadz and he's an absolute credit for maintaining the performances he has, but he's turning 37 and not getting any younger. Ideally we need a replacement...

What's he like attacking wise? His G/A stats last season were nothing to shout about, but the season before it was the same as Bidwell this season. Stats don't tell the whole story and it matters more that he suits the system and gels with the team.

100% - and this season has been a real stepping stone for the club. On meagre resources we were one step away from the Prem. Players will be keen to join this project as we appear to have turned a corner from being a basket case club. Likewise, we’ll be a preferred destination for big clubs...

Square peg in a round hole. It’s good to have cover with a lean squad but that’s pushing it a bit.

Depends if we had someone lined up to come in. It seems like Da Silva has been bought on to be first choice if we were allegedly about to part with Bidwell.

There’s no evidence of that and it doesn’t really seem to be a standard practice.

Liam Kelly has definitely earned a contract offer with the way he stepped up. Let’s be under no illusions that over a 46+ game season, he isn’t a player to take us to the next level. A one year extension to keep a leadership figure at the club is worthwhile, but if Kelly wants regular first...

On today’s viewing, neither Barnsley or Sheffield Wednesday look ready to make the grade. Wednesday will have a bigger budget to make that transition but I doubt Moore has the managerial capability to be an effective Championship manager with the style of play. Ipswich ought to do the best of...

Newcastle are watching Gyokeres yesterday… Hoping they’re willing to spend £25-30 million on him. It does seem most Prem teams have an interest in him, which bodes well for getting a deal on advantageous terms. If we genuinely hold out for £20+ million, it’ll show that this new regime is...

I can’t see @Blind-Faith welcoming Dabo with a freshly baked cake/pie…

Dude, we get it. Have a Kit Kat. Try to talk about about anyone but Dabo for a while!

It’s totally normal mate. After the World Cup I had a football sabbatical at a time I considered getting a half season ticket. I had a ticket to Barnsley v Sheffield Wednesday today and I couldn’t be arsed to be honest. Had we won, I’d have been up first thing to get there and soak up the...
