Decent player, ended the season well and I’m hoping he has a breakout year. Robins will be mindful that he’s inexperienced so it’s best to not have to rely on a player like that. There’s a reason our win % was significantly higher with Kelly in the team and it’s not because he’s our most...

With Kelly injured, we’ve got Sheaf and Hamer to play in central midfield... who else have we got? Seen a few comments saying we need a LWB and 2 CBs. One too many CBs as our options aren’t that bad at all. However, losing James and Kelly (to injury), Robins will almost definitely be targeting...

We’ve only got 3 first team strikers in the squad today, so we’re not going to play 2 strikers for the whole 90m because the personnel isn’t there. Besides, the box worked a few times last season. I prefer COH playing in a 10 role behind two strikers and reckon that’ll be our first choice of...

Shipley started the second game v MKD. If anyone has bothered to check that XI, it was basically our U23s and a few fringe players. The only exception being Gyo, who I doubt will be a starter when the season starts on Day 1. Anyone can see we haven’t started our full strength team because of...

He wasn’t a starter last season so what makes you think he will be this season?

Preseason doesn’t really mean anything other than build tactical familiarity, to build match fitness and to look at some personnel.

That Bushiri looks like a decent player to bring in. At 21, I’m sure there’ll be a lot of upside and relatively low risk. Hopefully we can sign on a permanent basis.

Momentum could’ve changed, but our away record was generally poor anyway despite a strong end. This was definitely a premature judgement, but I felt Rotherham would get relegated after we beat them 3-1. That said, they had a surprise result in them such as wins against Middlesbrough and QPR...

Rotherham had the 2nd or worst home record in the league and most of their games left we’re at home. So was ours and our home record was around 12th or 10th with a good record against top half teams. On top of this, Rotherham had fixture congestion and had to play a lot of games in a short...

Being consistently 6–9 pts above the the relegation zone isn’t exactly a relegation scrap. Rotherham having 3-4 games in hand made a lot of people paranoid on this board. The assumption was that they were going to win those games - despite losing the second most games in the league throughout...

Given our scenario and where both clubs have come from, Luton is a good mode to follow. Patience is key and I’m hopeful are young players, specifically Hamer, COH and Walker can move up another gear!

If we have better luck with injuries, I’m very confident we’ll be fine. Realistically, we were pretty safe last season save a 1-2 week scare. There are gaps in our team at this moment, but we’ve got 3-4 signings to come in. I’m confident Robins will address those needs. McCallum and Walker...

Anyone who has seen the Second XI will understand why we lost 5-0. It was an U23s team with a couple of first team in there.

Thankfully, the second XI we put out was very inexperienced and not many starters at all. Wilson, Shipley and Allen the senior pros...

I disagree with you, but respect your opinion. Ultimately, time will tell! Our squad is generally in a good place for where we’re at as a club. LWB is obviously a concern but can’t see that not being fixed.

We haven’t finished our recruitment. We may be yet be completing another signing for a fee. Our transfers are structured in instalments too, we’re still paying the money for Hamer and Walker. We’ve spent money on Sheaf and Gyo this summer too. Unlike previous season, we haven’t brought in any...

You get the feeling that this could be a moment where the mantle of ‘king’ is being passed from Lebron to Giannis. He’s had a great playoff I’m backing the Lakers to be strong next year, and the Nets will be a bigger threat if they stay healthy. If Giannis can beat them again, that would be...

We’re not done with our recruitment so judgement at this point is flawed. Take Bright for example, he’s probably going to be an X-factor signing or a bust. Waghorn has been a solid, 10 goal season for long while before last season. I don’t know much about Moore, but the consensus at Sheffield...

We’re barely half way through our recruitment and the outlook in the transfer market is affecting all but the very elite clubs. Signing Gyokeres and Waghorn I think is a very good return. Will withhold judgement on Moore and as for Bright I don’t think we sign him if finances were better. Very...

We have one of the youngest teams in the Championship. We need a couple of experienced players. McFadz, James and Kelly’s leadership was indispensable to our campaign last year and we need to add to that. Hopefully, Moore and Waghorn will provide that. We plan on signing 2-4 new players, two of...
