Thomas has got a lot of potential, but at times was v one dimensional, relying on cutting in on his left foot. Missed a lot of chances and was generally indecisive, yet despite this, one our greatest threats last season. Which I’m sure he’ll improve as he gets more experience. As for Jobello...

I see what you’re trying to say, but they have played their careers at a higher level than League 1 and have got good pedigree representing their countries at age-group level. Whether they work out or not, these are the kind of players we want to bring in.

For how desperate he was to jump ship after we got relegated, his career has gone from bad to worse since that episode. What’s interesting is whether or not Robins had plans for him before that point.

Jordi meaning Hiwula! I did read it as Jodi, so my bad. Someone else has also pointed out Jordy Hiwula’s name is spelt with a ‘Y’ rather than an ‘I’.

You’d like to think Burton Albion’s website was accurate.

I have seen his goals from last season, but didn’t exactly have a measuring stick on hand. He’s listed at 1.8m, which is about 5”11. In fact, the Telegraph before the preseason match said ‘... the 5 foot 11 midfielder’. So clearly that’s wrong.

It’s the classic small guy move to lie about their height on tinder or something haha

On what basis? We scored 54 goals, which ranks us at joint 15th with Rochdale, every team from 7th onwards scored over 70+ goals. However, on goals conceded (54), we ranked 8th in the division. That should tell you what you need to know. Kelly also fits the bill for your CDM, because he was...

The quote line below, in my interpretation, suggests that the problem with SISU, not the fact that Wasps have very clearly moved the goal posts on this. "Boddy is basically saying what he has always said wasps need to move their position because Sisu won't" If I've misinterpreted, could you...

My first reaction to Wasps buying the RICOH was that they won't fill it as rugby teams just don't fill stadium 25k+ on a weekly basis. So Wasps are operating at their ceiling, or any growth will be quite low. They haven't built their state of the art academy or training facilities, their best...

Firstly, I 100% agree with you on the first paragraph. But, with all due respect, the amount of investment going into the team since relegation to L2 does go against this narrative. Also, Wasps have changed their stance from ‘drop the legals’ to ‘Sisu and CCFC must be personally accountable...

Playoffs should be the aim for this team, and not looking at scrapping into 6th either. Hopefully, we can mount a real push for automatic promotion!

Jones? I can’t see him making an appearance even off the bench until October/November time. Kastaneer and Jobello sound like they played really well and make a good impact in this league. Jones will likely be an afterthought for a while. Right now, I’d choose Hiwula upfront in a 4-3-3, or...

I would be happy with this midfield trio. Right now, I imagined 4-3-3 or 4-4-2 would be our most viable options for formations. Returning to 4-2-3-1 is dependent on Bright signing in my view.

How the fuck is Allen listed as 1.8m?! He’s about 5”7 at a push!

I think the ‘Let’s all sing together’ was such a tiny noticeable thing I was sceptical as Hummel is something I associate with Villa, but I’m won over, frankly!

It is because he called out individual players for missing chances. Most notably, Luke Thomas after the Portsmouth match, where Robins said ‘he should have about 30 goals this season’. Burge has had some howlers, it was time for him to move on. However, there games where he made mistakes that...

If they’re starting at 700k, I’d hold out for about £1m. He’s young, got potential and under contract. It’d be stupid to sell right away.

Look through Robins’ post-match comments. What does he mention most? Our failure to convert chances is a common, reoccurring theme. That is, without a doubt, the main reason we dropped as many points as we did and not GK errors. I’m not defending Burge, he’s not our player anymore and I don’t...

Agreed. However, contract extensions in the club’s favour wouldn’t change the contract, would it? Therefore, there’s an offer of ‘x’ amount tables for him, but in Bright’s case, maybe it’s not just about money. If this is the case, it’s not inconceivable he’s unwilling to sign a new contract...
