I'll be honest I don't think he has any. Like him or loathe him, he says what he wants on his Grendel account warts and all, doubt he would have an alt. Have to respect his frankness

Martin is making foolish comments that Grendel is the dullest poster on here in a desperate attempt to gain his attention

Martin has made a comment this is the most positive transfer window in the clubs history. One suspects this might be a comment he will regret

As for saying this is an alt for Matt Smith I mean seriously

He definitely does , he replied to himself in the third person on a thread recently.
He does make some very salient points but he constantly misquotes and brings up past opinions as an attack on a posters credibility
All this from a man who wanted Kenny Jackett

I imagine that's the case as he's only 22, always had faith he'll come good for us and reckon he'll go on to be a 20-goal-a-season striker within a couple of years.

Would not surprise me at all if it happened this season........said it at the start of the season and have been ripped by my mates. Time will tell but he's getting better each game and with little service in and around the box.....today was different and he delivered.
Fingers crossed that at the end of the season I'm still not being laughed at!

I said " if you're not genuinely excited by this transfer window you need to give your head a wobble "
Probably posted a week or two before the season started , since then I've said I've been underwhelmed by the start weve made .
But to suggest its the best in memory would be stupid compared to the days of Keane , Hadji , Chippo , Boateng and others

Liked Simms from the start. You could see he was short of match practice in those early games this season. Now he’s getting into stride. Much quicker than I thought he would be, and he’s got a power shot. Cyrille Regis Mark ll.

Ellis Simms scores goals. An idiot can see that hes proven goal scorer.

My concern always has been Hadji Wright. Sorry just want to see something from him...a glimmer of light.

Simms has seemed up for it the last 2 games. Forced his way back in fair play to the lad.

Since he did the meet the players and he saw how much he is loved his whole persona and performances have improved
Sometimes players just need a little confidence and confidence shown in them

I still think the players we've bought in are OK, although obviously we really need big money players like Wright and Kitching to come good to consider the recruitment 'good'. The issue isn't the players we've bought in, for me anyway, its the players we didn't bring in...but anyway it's been done to death now, let's hope its addressed in January and if we're still in touch maybe we can kick on.

A win against i team that I think have won 6 games across 40 isn’t really proving very much - I think they’ve managed about 28 points since last October - isn’t an indication of much yet at all is it?

I didn't say recruitment was bad before yesterday's win. Way too much panic on this forum. Every year

It’s legitimate to raise concerns. Especially as the better players still are those that have been with the club for some time.

They have only won once at home in the league in around a year. Still there wasn’t much between the sides yesterday till the second half.

Yes they won a couple of away games late last season which has kept them in tbe league but they have been a dead team walking for 12 months now

Not too crazy that considering we only one month in. They are settled and know what robins wants already.

And we didn't sell them so another plus for the transfer team.

The transfer team don’t sell players. We have signed players who have cost significant money

Took his first goal well, instinctively almost, to smash it home. 2nd looked to me like it came off his leg rather than his boot but it went in and if it builds his confidence and he cracks on thats brilliant.

And nothing to suggest that money's been wasted yet. Not everyone can hit the ground running. But the strikers have got stick from the get go this season. Doesn't mean they have actually been that bad that they deserved it.

Not many of us have backed him on here. As I’ve always said he’ll finish top scorer. Although he could and should have bagged four yesterday.

That final part of his celebration after his second when he turned back to the fans and punched the air. You could see the genuine joy and relief on his face.

Look at the money Chelsea and United have spent on attacking players and the return they've had . Signing players is always a gamble

Personally I think it’s fair to expect a £7 million striker in the Championship to hit the ground running. Or a £4 million+ centre back to actually play!

Hasn't it been said on here that Kitching was injured when we signed him and Binks form has kept him out since ?
We can't just pick players according to price tags surely .
And look at Jackson at Chelsea , Hojland at United ? Whilst it would be great for strikers to hit the ground running it just doesn't always happen . Vik was another slow starter

For a team as unprofitable as we are, that’s exactly what we need to do.

Find that very bizarre if I'm honest , so you would drop Binks because Kitching cost more ?
