This is why Robins will stick around for Cov for a while. Something about Nathan Jones and Luton gels really well.

Just a quick one from myself. The new stadium announcement is a positive step in the right direction. However, the statement was, in effect, only a statement of intent and nothing substantive agreed as of yet. Like most of us, I’m concerned that our exile from Coventry is set to be continued...

My FM save had Cov to yo-yo between L1 and Championship before I came in...

NO!

I was surprised by this transfer since he didn’t feature much. It seemed Robins rated him, just never felt the opportunity was there to play him. We had some tough fixtures and we were on a role too, I can see why he didn’t get game time. Frankly, I hope Giles hasn’t been brought in as a first...

Ok, point taken. But, don’t you think investors will only part with their capital when solid plans are laid out? The sceptical view of the statement is legitimate (of anything). After all, this announcement is only a statement of intent and nothing solid in place, yet. The cynical view: this...

A sore point for me too. The balti pie and a hot chocolate/fizzy drink was a Saturday staple for me as a young ST

Agreed. This announcement has caused a lot of excitement. As things stand right now, it isn’t really anything substantive, yet. This announcement, if anything, is a statement of intent. The positive is that the club is at least outlining something resembling a credible plan going forward.

I can’t help but think owning/part ownership of the RICOH is a pipe dream. Realistically, the club needs to secure its long term future. We cannot do that if we’re renting a stadium from landlords we’ve been at odds with in and around a decade now. Two exiles from Coventry, constant legal...

It’s easy to underestimate the role of strong leaders in a team environment. In this respect, McFadz was also an astute signing because Kelly needed another leader in the team going into last season. It’s possibly why Stockdale made such an impact on loan in that 1st L1 season. We’re one of...

Why does anyone care about this anymore? Marosi was an upgrade, and let’s just leave Burge alone and wish him the best in his career. He’ll be a good L1 ‘keeper. With a bit of fortune, maybe even Championship if he cuts the errors out.

Agreed, slightly concerned a few people are getting carried away a bit. The positive side of this is that it shows just how much progress we’re making! But, I’m keeping a lid on it for now. Anything above the relegation zone is a successful season for me. We need to model our growth on a...

Genuine question: How many of their L2 players remained starters in that title-winning L1 side? I’m under the impression the teams were not too unchanged minus a couple of key signings. On the topic of the thread, the sole objective is to avoid relegation. With the right recruitment, there’s...

It’s clear to see Robins sees something in him. At times, he does look like a good player, equally, he’s anonymous at times too. It’s probably his last season to prove his worth to MR. I can’t see him being higher than 3rd in the pecking order this season for the start of next season. As for...

DaCosta seems like he’ll make a good utility player. Playing RB, LB and RCB will be useful!

I’m not kidding myself, next season will be a tough one. But, I’m confident Covid-19 will level the playing field for us and Rotherham in particular. A lot of teams will be cutting back as a lot of Championship teams are already close to brinkmanship in the pursuit of their own Operation...

If first impressions was all it took, Kastaneer would be a starter in our team!

Fair point. Again, I’ll mention it in passing that my initial reaction was that the 3.Bundesliga was a 4th tier division, not a 3rd tier. I want Hilßner to be a smash hit, good pedigree, decent stats in the league he was in. Ultimately, I don’t know enough about him to make an informed...

We play with wingbacks, McCallum and Dabo are our wide players. You may as well lump Kelly or Rose as ‘right sided’ players. Vincenti, Bayliss, Thomas and Jobello all played on the ride side of midfield, when we’ve played 4-4-2, 4-2-3-1, or 4-3-3. Our shape is 3-4-2-1, with the 4 central...

Good point. Why not also put McFadzean upfront as a target man!?
