I think maybe because it doesn’t fit in with the buy cheap develop and sell policy most of them are at the top of their value
Well what was he bought in to do then as his goal scoring record isn't great either. If you're 6'4 and can't win headers then something is wrong.Bakayoko isn't a target man, nowhere near it!
Thats a steps forward then 3 steps back policy.
We lack even a modicum of investment. Forget Madders/mcnulty money, what about the 6700 season tickets!
We got 13000 for our first home game well over 12k home fans. They have well and truly completely fucked up any feel good factor.

Talking about overall monies recieved by our owners this summer!What about the season tickets?
Not sure what point you are trying to make with that bit?

We've signed a player to fit into a system that doesn't suit his strengths then. What's the point?He needs to play the channels or on the shoulder of the last man.
Not left midfield or aimlessly hoofing it up to him.
That was obvious about the first 3 times we tried it.
Robins doesnt seem to be looking at players strengths and weaknesses, just putting them in places hoping it works out.
Literally 3 games in with 9 new players... give them a chance ffs!Thats a steps forward then 3 steps back policy.

Andreu. Robins is in love with Andreu and while I think he''s one of our best players and a joy to watch we shouldn't rip up everything we achieved last season to accommodate him.No idea.
We are playing them out of position too, same with putting Sterling up front effectively on Tuesday.
It's pretty random. Who's strengths have the systems so far this season actually suited?

Drama Llama!On that point so has every club in tge Division, some have 13/14 new players like posh.
Im still giving us a big chance of staying in this division. But with just £1m of investment from Maddsion/mcnukty would have been a good enpugh to get top 6.
If you think this current squad is good enough as it stands for top 6 then your delusional. Its going to be very tough to get 12/13 wins this season to stay up. Without a striker.

Yes we have replaced Mcnulty with 3 duds.We have signed 3 out and out strikers (4 if you include Allassani), 2 of them paid for and all 3 will be getting a decent-ish wage.
Just because they haven't scored in the first couple of games it doesn't mean they don't exist and we can just start bringing in more. It doesn't work like that.
Yes we have replaced Mcnulty with 3 duds.
Please dont try and label Allasani a striker.
way too soon to be classing any of new signings as dudsYes we have replaced Mcnulty with 3 duds.

Think it’s a bit harsh on Westbrooke to be honest don’t think any of us know what type of midfielder he is and he came from championship team Brentford and we’ll regarded but I do agree we lack a certain type of centre midfielder imo we lack height and can get dominatedWe should have kept the same system that got us promoted and bought in players to suit that. If you're looking at two players for each position then My squad would have been
GK - Burge & new keeper
LB - Brown & Mason look decent so I'm happy with the replacement
RB - Grimmer & Sterling - Sterling doesn't look great so far but will hopefully grow but Grimmer needs to get his match fitness up
Tough CB - Davies & another - when Davies is out there isn't a battler/leader in there
Ball playing CB - Willis & Hyam - all others loaned out, McDonald was no loss
LM - Shipley & Allassini - good young pair with different attributes
RM - Jones & another - we're desperate for JJ to come back as we've bought nobody to provide width on that side
Tough CM - Doyle & Ogogo - looks good
Cultured CM - Bayliss & Kelly - looks good
AM - Andreu - shouldn't be automatic choice if it doesn't suit us
Target man - Biamou & another - I'd have bought in Stockley for this role not JCH, Bakayoko may work
Goalscorer - Hiwula & another - Chaplin would have been good, Rose maybe
4-4-2 at home 4-4-1-1 away
In my list we're missing a keeper, a CB a RM and one or two Strikers 4/5 players that we don't have. At least they all know their jobs and what position they're playing each week instead of coming into the season having ripped everything up from last year and playing random attacking signings anywhere across the pitch.
This leaves
O Brien
Addai
Camwell
Thompson
Westbrooke
Bosma
JCH
Ponticelli
Walters
Williams
that are not needed for the first team so should be loaned/sold, the ones in bold bought in this summer.
I get the principle of bringing in players like Walters and Williams to develop but we need players that go straight into the team.
We did sign replacements?
Just because they havent done much in a couple of games with no service doesn't mean they don't exist. It was the same last year when McNulty wasn't scoring people just demanded signing more and more strikers.
Why do you think neither of them got the No 10 shirt?
way too soon to be classing any of new signings as duds
Robins will be hoping that his fortunes change sooner rather than later,if i was him,i would be really concerned of how his team is going to score goals, 3 duds have been branded and 3 duds i believe he has bought.
Priority was a goal scorer to replace McNulty and he never replaced him,However this season for me isn't about getting promotion although if it came i would gladly accept it,but more about establishing our self in this league with maybe a top 10 finish and push on again next year.
If we fail to beat Plymouth and not score then the pressure will begin to mount. This is all Robins own doing,he has brought this on himself.
I wouldn't worry about promotion to much,we won't be going up ,not consistent enough.another season in the sh't league awaits us
can i have some of what you are smoking, Totally shit..2 home games zero goals..
we are just garbage, you can't polish sh't...... i've seen more fire power in a wet box of matches than these wasters..
Roll back a year ago when you said
Yes we have replaced Mcnulty with 3 duds.
What has that got to do with this season,totally different league.
Yes we have replaced Mcnulty with 3 duds.
Please dont try and label Allasani a striker.
If Andreu had the number 10 shirt would that mean he is a replacement for McNulty?
I think all that means is leaving it open for another potential attacking player to come in on loan.
Point is I could agree Hiwula is the McNulty replacement, nippy goalscorer, yet we aren't playing him how McNulty was played (up front in a two). I think everyone would agree Bakayoko isn't a McNulty replacement. And with Robins leaving a strikers jersey open it suggests he wants someone else in.
Which would imply we haven't replaced McNulty (because otherwise we'd be playing Hiwula there and not still be looking for a first team striker).
Reading that back doesn't make much sense hopefully you get what I mean.
