Was “what league that will be” supposed to imply promotion?
Didn't say we were.
We got rid of Jones, Shipley and Pask and replaced them with one player on more money than the three out together. It's a natural progression and they needed to go but without further investment it's a negative spiral.
It doesn't help that our academy is producing absolutely nothing and the gambles made bringing in Taveres and Cashman failed.
A new recruitment team may work in our favour.
We gambled keeping the so called 'big 3' and put them on big wages. All good, but you lose squad depth and run the risk of injury by throwing eggs in one basket.
Were not going down, that’s ridiculous.
Nah context we pushed second half and defence played better especially rose and DoyleAnyone else angry by that performance?
At the moment there's still the possibility of that yes. Equally the league is so tight it won't take many bad results for us to be under some pressure from the other direction.Was “what league that will be” supposed to imply promotion?

Half of our squad aren’t good enough who are on contracts. Some of our higher earners aren’t performing. This league is a lottery. The likes of millwall and Luton aren’t exactly big money clubs either. This is a combination of strange recruitment and lack of owner support when we needed to push on

Few misplaced passes and wanted an extra body up front!!!What was it
Well if that's the case that's bonkersFew misplaced passes and wanted an extra body up front!!!
well bloody hell
Especially if you put it on a golden platter for them every... single... time...I mean, it does highlight the fact that other teams have goalkeepers that can come for crosses AND catch the ball
You’ve got to visualise how we’re going to win promotion:At the moment there's still the possibility of that yes. Equally the league is so tight it won't take many bad results for us to be under some pressure from the other direction.
We have no centre backs beyond who started today, for example. Struggling to keep it solid at the back, struggling to be sharp going forwards-and we pretty much know why that is.
As Pete said, I think the actual words were something like "Ben has made a couple of odd decisions in possession recently".What was it

Don't mention those around Big Mike
I don't think you can call Tavares a failure.
He was brought in as one for the future and is currently 4/5th choice and only really getting minutes because of injuries.
That's not to say the signing will be a successful one, just that you can't say it's a failure so far.

"Wow Waghorn with 41.7% pass completion"What Waghorn gives you is someone who can receive the ball in the final third and pass it to our own man, same as Palmer.

Robins clearly doesn’t rate him.

Fair enough if you genuinely believe Robins rates him and he isn’t just making up the numbers .I mean he literally gave him a new contract a few months ago but ok.

Don’t understand why players like Tavares and Cashman are being blamed for our squad problems - they’re just cheap dart throws who are there to make up the numbers. It’s players like Waghorn and Palmer who are the real costly mistakes - if you’re going to hoover up resources in signing them then you should be expecting so much more in return than we’ve actually got.We got rid of Jones, Shipley and Pask and replaced them with one player on more money than the three out together.

I'm not saying he rates him as second choice or anything, obviously not.
But he rates him enough to give him a new contract and he's clearly there to be used for 5 or 10 mins off the bench when needed, on a cheap wage. What's wrong with that?
