I’m very happy with this season overall. There’s definitely room for improvement and with a few good quality signings, we could really compete next season. For context, virtually our entire squad was playing in League 1 two seasons ago. We were never really good enough to challenge for the...

Pretty much.

Every player is replaceable. We thought we wouldn’t be able to replace McNulty, Bayliss and McCallum to name a few and we’ve done alright since. Gyokeres is the most valuable in terms of output. It’s been a while since we’ve had a striker who’s scored 16 goals in a season. Earlier in the...

My little brother told me about the Ross Barkley rumour. This is more ridiculous than the Joe Cole ‘rumour’ back in the Coleman era. It’s just straight up silly talk.

That’s definite revisionism here. The majority of the supporters wanted us to hire Thorn because he did well as caretaker. In another dimension where we get relegated that season without Thorn as manager, you bet he’d have had an Eric Black type aura. It was a short Honeymoon period and Thorn...

Top 5: Maatsen v Fulham Hamer v P’borough Taveres v PNE Gyo v Cardiff Godden v Derby Kane v Bournemouth as for an honourable mention for his fluke of a goal! I’d probably give iGodden v Derby because it was such a good team goal.

Sean Dyche did a fantastic job at Burnley and on a shoestring. Nonetheless, the premise of the OP was madness.

… because Robins definitely hasn’t been working on a shoestring budget! The OP is legitimately a worse shout than sacking MR to bring Kenny Jackett in. Drunken thoughts or not!

What a shit shout, Sean Dyche was on £75,000 per week at Burnley…

Quick question for everyone: I’m ‘technically’ a student, am I eligible for a concession season ticket?

They spent £10m on Toney in the Championship too!

Well, it’s a funny comment coming from perhaps the most sceptical posters of Robins that is not obviously a WUM. Robins leaving would be a fools errand. In the same way Nathan Jones, Paul Warne or Ainsworth were to leave jobs they’re ‘untouchable’ in.

Agree. Gyo is also very one footed. Which, for all of his pluses as a player, will limit his growth as a player. In the leagues above, the defenders are stronger and quicker so Gyo needs to develop his left foot. At the minute, he’s arguably a bit one dimensional because he’ll always look to...

People say that, but with Maddison, the initial outlay seemed low but the sell-ons and so on netted us more than had we held out for a higher base fee. I think a similar thing with Wilson too. I remember people bemoaning how MK got more for Alli than Maddison and after his move to Leicester, we...

Like his chance against Forest? Allen has been a lot better this year, but he’s a role player at best in the Championship. O’Hare is someone you build your team around.

Could really do with us winning this one, I work with a Forest fan. I think we’ll draw or lose to be perfectly honest.

Agreed. We’ve come on leaps and bounds, but we just do not have the depth to make the playoffs. We’ve had too many injuries. Unlike Barnsley, I do think we’ll keep our better players and they will develop as we have a youthful side. Gyo and O’Hare are v good players but have limitations that...

I’m the opposite, I regularly turn up to games right at KO or a few minutes late and actually missed our first goal yesterday. Plonker. This season, you’d be a fool to leave our games early! Most stoppage time goals in Europe!

No Plan B? We have the most points from losing positions in the league and we have the most goals in stoppage time in Europe. Making subs isn’t a plan b and we don’t really have any depth outside the starters.

Perhaps, but had we gone 2-1 down we’ve not got our best finisher on the pitch. Personally, no on the bench has star quality. Shipley wouldn’t add more value than Allen, Hamer, Maatsen or COH. Tavares nor Waghorn would add more value than Gyo or Godden. The squad is thin and frankly, we just...
