There seems to be a belief next years championship will be easier, I doubt that very much. If we are still in it Robins has to have his best transfer window since he’s been here.

If we are still in it Robins has to have his best transfer window since he’s been here.Even if we don't make the play-offs, I'd still see it as a season of progression based on the high turnover of players. That being said, I do expect us to comfortably make the POs next season and even challenge for the top 2- anything less would be very disappointing.
Why do you doubt that ?There seems to be a belief next years championship will be easier, I doubt that very much. If we are still in it Robins has to have his best transfer window since he’s been here.
We really needed to bring in a 6ft + brick shit- house at fb in Jan to stop what we saw last night. It was so like going back to the Kelly-Evans crap all over again, maybe use JDS at left wing and Bidwell behind, move Haji over to the right and ????????................oh, fuck it, I don't know whatelseAlso JDS misread the situation and tried to make amends with a powder puff of a header to gave away the corner within 39 seconds for the first goal. I said to my mate upon seeing JDS playing at left back he will be targeted by the opposition as all the other teams do. MR should see he is not a full back and stop using him there.
There's a player at Blackburn called McFadzean. He isn't the right player for that position but last night we were crying out for someone to get a grip .We really needed to bring in a 6ft + brick shit- house at fb in Jan to stop what we saw last night.

True. Brighton have Lallana, Milner and Wellbeck. Brentford Ben Mee so it’s all about balanceI do think the team lacks an older experienced player to help on the pitch when things are big going to plan.
Both Brighton and Brentford have always added that type of player to their young talented squads
Kelly should be playing given the injuries, only a fool would think Lati is a better option in midfield.Sorry, can people please stop calling for Fadz, and even Kelly, they both had a great term with us but both are a step behind where we need to be now - and if you don’t see that then you need to give your head a wobble….
Kelly might be our only option soon in midfield, but he’s not good enough for where we want to be, and neither him nor Fadz would ordinarily get a look in - it’s beyond obvious!
and in terms of being a decent transition season, fully agree with that (except I’m not sure we’re not still a fair number of players short), but it’s just frustrating this ‘transition season’ that looked like it might become more wasn’t capitalised on in January when a couple of decent signings could’ve been the difference between a playoff place and a mid table consolidation.
I think another big overhaul will be needed at the end of this season to challenge next
A bit harsh to say Wright was hiding. He put himself aboutEverything about last night was wrong. It was a truly bad bad bad bad bad day at the office. Genuinely zero positives to take from it.
Simms comes out with some credit first half. Second half everyone hid and/or was just not good enough.
You need big players to step up and be leaders in games like that, either by example or through encouragement etc, we massively lacked that. I know he’s (rightly) loved but COH hid, Wright hid and was poor, Palmer was his usual hot/cold self and nobody else really warrants a mention.
Massively disappointing and I’m sure we’re all feeling it today, but this time next week we could be in the QF and very much back in the play off mix after two good results.
That's disrespectful to both players. Easy in hindsight to say McFadz wasn't good enough but we are now seriously lacking a player of his type and physicality and , importantly, leadership. He was good enough and still will be an asset to most championship clubs. He's not good enough for the Premier league but then very few in our team are.Sorry, can people please stop calling for Fadz, and even Kelly, they both had a great term with us but both are a step behind where we need to be now - and if you don’t see that then you need to give your head a wobble….

Only Bar 4 signings.Just think it seems a bit confusing.
I agree we are short on numbers but we've also spend £6m this window and nearly £25m since June.
We've clearly had the funds to strengthen in numbers but someone clearly has a strategy of quality over quantity. That's fine, if you get lucky with injuries. We haven't.
The funds are being spent in interesting ways. Haji is a funny signing. That sort of money is mental for a club like us. We've clearly got a wage cap and that has stopped us adding loans or the likes of John Swift. It's going to stop us from signing O'Hare up.
It's a tough balance because we could have brought in 4 players and they could have been poor instead of signing Torp who really does look a class above.
O'Hare wasn't hiding either.A bit harsh to say Wright was hiding. He put himself about

Some people need a bit of perspective. I know football is an emotional sport but but some people's moods are up and down more than my wifes..
As a football fan i hope the lad gets better as quickly as possible and plays football again sooner rather than later but it is interesting to see that people have a difference of opinion on this sort of incident.No I mean like he jumped on to the guys shoulder. I dunno. I'm prob chatting shit. I just always though the attacker is naive when fall like that. It's like they jump into danger area too far
Not rly explaining it
A small number of vocal fans wanted him out amongst them where a number who wanted him the day before he arrived..... in our area some have a pure hatred of anybody from Liverpool and instead of taking the opportunity to allow any party to perform they have picked him ever since..... The majority love him ..Preston are one of worst sides I seen. There's a reason their fans want Lowe gone.
Did Wilson actually make a save in the match?

I can never make my mind up to be fair when i played Sunday league nobody jumped that high so it never was something that i really came across..
Well I’ll start possibly with Norwich, PNE, WBA, ‘Boro, Sunderland one of the current top four and any of the three relegated teams from the PLWhy do you doubt that ?
