Of course he’s going to say that, I’d be more worried if he didn’t have any ambition. I reckon he’ll stay for another season and hopefully be our long-term captain if we go up.One of the possible ITKs mentioned it, he said in one of his prematch interviews that he wants to play in the prem sooner rather than later.
The fact he said “sooner rather than later” could be seen as a signal to other teams he’s open to offers. He’s probably also at peak value so the club might think it’s time to cash in.Of course he’s going to say that, I’d be more worried if he didn’t have any ambition.

add Lati to the list of favouritesWe've already built a squad capable of reaching the play offs next year with 3/4 additions to fill the gap left by departures.
However I don't think MR will be happy with that. I think he'll be pushing for players who will take us to the next level - even if that does mean favourites from this season move down the pecking order (Bidwell/Thomas/Eccles/Collins)
I totally agree with that mate, but i personally just don't think as a unit Collins, Thomas and Kitching are good enough to drag us out of this division as a defensive trio.Your opinion of course, but do you not think we're more exposed at the back because of our more expansive play? We score and create a lot more than previously and are, in most games, playing a 4 rather than a 5. I'm not totally disagreeing with you, just think there are mitigating factors.
Weren’t we linked with himMarc Leonard needs to be a priority signing.
We need 6 players not 8/9At a minimum these players will be off and need replacing:
Not really replaced Fadz
Binks (he’s on loan)
Kelly
CoH
Godden
So that’s 5 players who need to be replaced with quality there and we also need to bulk up the squad. So 8/9 players.
We need more like 6/7 with the departures.We've already built a squad capable of reaching the play offs next year with 3/4 additions to fill the gap left by departures.

We have absolutely zero chance of signing Whittaker.A goalie would be priority for me. I don't think Binks will sign so another CB. Dasilva has done well recently and I don't mind him coming off the bench but he isn't good enough to challenge Bidwell for starting place. Burrows from Peterborough would be an excellent signing but imagine he will go to Premier team or a relegated one.
I like Rathbone from Rotherham, maybe as a replacement for Kelly.
Don't think we could afford him but Whittaker would be an excellent addition.
Definitely need an AM.

Yep fully agree with this. And this is before anyone like Sheaf leaves. If we can get these 7 in with no major outgoings then we are in business.
Try and move on
Moore
Kelly
Godden
1 of the keepers
Any out of contract U23s can go
Maybe Allen as well but unless you get money for him he’s probably worth seeing his last year out here and helping out where required.
Also could maybe do with a RB but Burroughs may be a good enough backup option there

Dasilva will be starting LB next season. Mark my words.
Kelly and Moore are out of contract.
I really rate and generally prefer Bidwell to Dasilva, but I was impressed with Dasilva tonight.
Also sometimes get the feeling Robins is actively trying to replace Bidwell if he gets the chance as well
He was this season. Obviously hope he can work with the coaches pre-season and improve, or we'll be risking putting ourselves into catch-up mode again. same with the entire defence and keeper. Needs to be dramatic improvement as I doubt it's their plan to spend the summer looking to replace them.Dasilva will be starting LB next season. Mark my words.
We will have a chance if Plymouth go down. I thought they were well out of it but have been dragged back in.We have absolutely zero chance of signing Whittaker.
He's probably worth about 10-15 millionWe will have a chance if Plymouth go down. I thought they were well out of it but have been dragged back in.
I doubt it, be was being linked in Lazio not long ago.We will have a chance if Plymouth go down. I thought they were well out of it but have been dragged back in.
But you can’t underestimate the impact off the field with setting standards to new group. Thats a big part also. Never a simple as we think.Robins continues to moan about the lack of depth in the squad but I assume it was his decision to give new deals to Godden and Kelly last summer. Neither have made any contribution since Christmas …. If he had replaced these 2 players with ones he trusted more that would have allowed more rotation.
Retaining Godden and Kelly would’ve been far cheaper than recruiting replacements. They’re probably both still on league one level wages.Robins continues to moan about the lack of depth in the squad but I assume it was his decision to give new deals to Godden and Kelly last summer.

He’s obviously trying to replace Bidwell, just isn’t good enough with the ball in tight spaces to play the way Robins wants the team to.I really rate and generally prefer Bidwell to Dasilva, but I was impressed with Dasilva tonight.
