Willis offered new deal at Northampton, so has Burge
Haynes released

I thought he was doing well there for a while? Shame for him, I think success in football is in part down to timing and that move to Preston was catastrophic for himTom Bayliss in Shrewsbury’s released list this summer.
Fans seem pretty happy he’s going.
What could have been for him!
The grass isn’t always greener as they say. In my view, he’s a player that could’ve been a star for us in L1 and developed into a decent Championship player under the right coaching.I thought he was doing well there for a while?

Real shame Willis had the injuries he had. A proper athlete that should have been playing football in the championship.Willis offered new deal at Northampton, so has Burge

Wasn't it more we were absolutely desperate for the money.The grass isn’t always greener as they say. In my view, he’s a player that could’ve been a star for us in L1 and developed into a decent Championship player under the right coaching.
The club thought so too as we’d put future sell-on clauses in his deal iirc.
We were always desperate for money, seem to recall he also forced the move too. I could be wrong because it was so long ago.Wasn't it more we were absolutely desperate for the money.
Well let's hope he was sensible with his money as it will run out quite fast and end up being a postie(With regards to Bayliss)
Wasn’t he referred to in the Jak Hickman “Pepsi” video that he (TB) was now being paid “ten bags” at Preston.
I guess it means he was earning £10k / week at Preston - one would assume a huge leap from what he was on at Cov - therefore it might well be he would keen to move.
He seemed to struggle to get somewhere last year and from a distance hasn’t had a great season so it must be a worry to for him.Dabo released by Forest Green Rovers. Wonder where he is going to go next. Their fans talk of him as one of their worst players for many a year.

Another player some cov fans said.not good enough lolWatching Maatsen play against Mbappe tonight.
Managing injuries is one of Robins biggest weaknesses as a manager.I honestly think Robins is the main factor behind Dabo's regression. He was constantly bringing him back too quickly following his injuries only for him to break down.
Dabo didn't get a proper rehab for about 3 years and his knees are fucked.

He can't really win though can he. Yesterday he was accused of leaving players out unnecessarily and that they should be playing through injuries (notwithstanding the game wasn't important for us).Managing injuries is one of Robins biggest weaknesses as a manager.
It's crazy how many fans have turned on robins this week and then will pretend they didn't when things get betterHe can't really win though can he.

Not really any evidence of this apart from this Dabo ideaManaging injuries is one of Robins biggest weaknesses as a manager.
Apart from Dabo, when else has it happened?Managing injuries is one of Robins biggest weaknesses as a manager.

I would say that it’s not happened on the same level as Dabo with anyone else but first one that come to mind is we had a couple of seasons where Godden couldn’t stay fit because we kept rushing him back.Apart from Dabo, when else has it happened?
Squad management is a catch 22 when you’ve had chronically small squads.He can't really win though can he. Yesterday he was accused of leaving players out unnecessarily and that they should be playing through injuries (notwithstanding the game wasn't important for us).

Think that happens a lot where players go from being out injured for a while to suddenly starting multiple games in a row without any build up. May have contributed to O’Hare getting reinjured last season and Sheaf’s patchy injury record imo.
Yep, we also don't utilise the reserves either. I get that it isn't the same intensity or level but players go from being out for months to sitting on the bench for a bit to being back in the first team.
Likewise, we have players sit on the bench all season but don't get many minutes for the reserves.
He looked good didn't he, good to see one of our loanees go on and progress their career. Sancho seems to have found his mojo again after leaving United .Watching Maatsen play against Mbappe tonight.
Frankly, our reserves have been pretty poor for a long while. This season we’ve had players on the bench who could make a difference (Palmer, Sakamoto, Wright and Simms) but as injuries, suspensions and form dips, we’ve ran out. This season we basically started again and this summer we’re replacing two starters and the rest is adding quality.
Making changes for the sake of it is not an ideal situation especially if the players just aren’t good enough.
I remember when we beat Fulham away 3-1 in 2022. They were already Champions. Dabo was brilliant that day.Feel so sorry for Dabo. He was our player of the season in L1. Injuries are a bugger. Hope he finds a club, as clearly one of the good guys.
I liked Newton. Thought he looked the better of the two when Reid stayed and he went. Definitely more of a wingback than LB.Watching Newton and Maycock in the play offs final for Solihull at the moment.
