I agree it's a balancing act, in fact that is what I keep saying. It's the strict adherence to the model in its purist form that is the problem. I do wonder whether most fans are up for five more transitional seasons. Or Robins for that matter.

As always you follow the advice of the medical/fitness team. Never pkay unfit players.

I think we have to play a strong team as it would be unfair on others not to do so and it goes to the integrity of the league.

I really like Sheaf and have always rated him but some of the estimations of his value are way off in my view. It's by no means clear that he could regularly make an impact in the Premier League. It's possible, even likely, a PL team will take a punt on him but not at an inflated fee.

I guess measuring progress depends on what you feel is important. On the one hand, we have how much have we followed the model and not been diverted from the long term project. On the other you have, have we improved our league position. I am more in the second camp whilst accepting the...

I agree with a lot of that but you can't just get rid of players on long contracts like Collins. I guess we have to take the hit as this is the downside of the model. Obviously a new keeper is top priority. I thought Kelly was fine on Wednesday and is useful back up if cheap. Allen has been...

I was really disappointed in Civil War. Seems to have had really good reviews but it seemed a bit dull and predictable. Not at all what I expected. Like you I feel I must have been missing something, but I kept thinking all the way along when is this actually going to get interesting.

Sometimes. There is still a lot he needs to work on but there are some really obvious qualities there, especially his speed running with the ball and his shooting.

Of course we have. No option now and it's time to give some of the young players like Andrews some experience if we think they have the potential to make it at this level.

We have too small a squad so fatigue is inevitable. Man United's players are used to the intensity of the Premier League every week. No matter what people say that league is faster and considerably more physical. Players are stronger and fitter. They are literally in a different league to us...

You have to take account of fitness, otherwise we get more injuries.

Such a shame for Tavares who was finally showing he is a good player. Absolutely right on Latibeaudiere. Classic over playing injury and shows why we have to manage players minutes. Robins was right in January to say the squad is too small and it wasn't fair in the players as it meant they...

I expect Thomas and Kitching to go on and become top players and wouldn't be surprised if they play in the Premier League. I think they will be more consistent next year. As for Collins he doesn't look Championship level to me. We need much better.

Manchester United are full of seasoned international players. Simms and Wright are inexperienced at this level. We have to trust the management team's advice on fitness. Overplaying players results in injuries. We have seen this with Sheaf a couple if times and Torp. Robins has had to manage...

It's incredible, they just won't stop. One even arguing Collins was fine last night and it was the midfield that was the reason we lost.

We need more squad depth. That is something we both agree on. I think we need to be flexible and use the loan market and not rigidly stick to the model if we want to progress at any speed. Otherwise we will always be developing and selling players once they become good and progress is so...

Agree on the first, but there have been too many of these mistakes recently. The third though is inexcusable.

The more times I see those goals the more annoyed I feel about Collins.

Terrible ref again but for balance we should not have had the free kick for Palmer’s goal.

Allen has been so unlucky this season and next season he'll be fine as a squad player. Midfield is the last area we need depth. As for the goalkeeper...
