It is easy to forget that just 2 years ago Barnsley were in the Championship play offs
It is easy to forget that just 2 years ago Barnsley were in the Championship play offsWe need a bit better than Barnsley players
Styles was injured a lot of last season, so he didnt make a significant impactWhy did milwall pass this guy over??
I’d rather a standout midfield signing than a couple of functional players
in robins we trust he knows what he’s doing
This was not meant as a wind-up. This is just an honest appraisal of where I think we are at the minute. I am more specifically talking about the two deeper CM positions as we are stocked well enough in the attacking midfielder role.
My assessment of CM is that Kelly and Allen aren't good enough to get where we want to be. Backup or otherwise. And I think I said Sheaf is good, above most in the league but not the Pirlo that some make him out to be but certainly good enough for what we want to achieve.
Eccles has been great so far this season but it has only been two games, and one of them was at RWB. He is a valuable squad member and performed well last season but again, there are much better in the league.
We are down to two serious players for two positions, which worries me. How can that even be argued against?

About time they offloaded them anyway I think. Eustace is a good fit there, given time and a bit of cash they’ll do well with him.
Still a bit miffed they got away with being crap for so many years.

Keep doing you mate, fuck the clique.
Feeling bit better, took 2 weeks off work as was feeling totally fucked. Saturday cheered us up a bit.Genuinely mate: is everything OK? You’ve had a right stinker on for a while.
Matter of opinion and can't claim to have seen every DM in the league so far this season as you clearly have so will bow down to your better judgement.

Definitely want to see us hold some back for January. Could be the difference if need to replace a big player through injury/sale or we need someone to complete the team, allows us to see how the new players work out.£5m on rumoured international enforcer
£2m on Styles
£3-4m on Kitching
Loan AM/ST/AML from the Prem
By my count that still leave a couple of million for Jan just in case.

Given the speed of our transfer announcements you have got anything to do tomorrow you will need to be woken up for.Putting the forum on snooze for a couple of hours sleep. Can someone wake me up when this becomes a signed deal ?
What specifically? That he is, in fact, Pirlo or that he is not better than most in the league?

Matty James is better.He’s probably the best in the division in his position.
Or he will be woken up by some lad in a bush.Given the speed of our transfer announcements you have got anything to do tomorrow you will need to be woken up for.
Honestly think it's those sloppy passes that will stop him performing at a higher level. If he could rid them from his game you could see him in the prem.I've been defending sheaf from day 1 when people didn't like him much.
That said it's fair to say he's fucking excellent but does get very simple passes wrong sometimes which I can only out down to lack of concentration or over confidence.
Dunno if best but up there. But the poster has a point about why perhaps we need more midfielders.

Villa and Spurs.........they probably want his brother to play a concert.Not read the whole thread but someone I know, who knows a good amount about football, said this would be a great signing if we get him as apparently Villa and Spurs had been interested.
Had a look at his stats, apologies if it's been discussed but he's not got a great goalscoring record. Is he more of a defensive midfielder?

Villa/Spurs must have been when he was a youngster as £2m is pocket change to them if they thought he had even a 5% chance of becoming a PL level playerNot read the whole thread but someone I know, who knows a good amount about football, said this would be a great signing if we get him as apparently Villa and Spurs had been interested.

I have no issue with people not agreeing with my view, just think if your going to counter the argument, at least come back with a valid point and not one that you made up, can't be quantified after two games and is clearly nonsense when the league contains DM's of Ndidi, Lavia and Winks.

Sign 3-4 players more and really for the first time you can argue we have a full Championship standard squad.In terms of building a squad, we currently do need several players. If selling Hamer and Gyokeres allows us to sign a few standouts and really build the squad, it’s worthwhile.
Likewise, it allows us to use to really focus on signing marquee players in future transfer windows.
Looking at Operation Premiership as a project, we may not be ready to get promoted this season. First, we’ve signed a lot of young players who may need a season or two to hit their potential. Second, we’re transitioning from a team relying on loans to pad our squad out to owning our players. It takes time to build a squad.
Top 6 should be an expectation this year, and if we fail to get promoted, automatics could be a viable expectation for next season 2024/25.
I think this season we'll see that it was never a case of Robins not wanting to make subs, more he didn't rate the subs he had.Sign 3-4 players more and really for the first time you can argue we have a full Championship standard squad.

Absolutely, you make changes to affect a game not to just make up the numbers.I think this season we'll see that it was never a case of Robins not wanting to make subs, more he didn't rate the subs he had.
His loan wasn't terminated at Millwall, he was just out injured for a couple of months and then came back and played at LWB.His loan at Willmall was terminated due to a bad injury as well. If he'd have stayed, the transfer may well have gone through.
