Not even a debate. This let’s consolidate is bollocks - we have to be in the playoffs at least

Yup. It's a statement of intent and we definitely should be expecting a top 6 place.

I never understood that mindset. I highly doubt Robins and Doug would ever feel consolidation is acceptable. If you can go for it then 100% go for it.

They will try and get us promoted for sure , doesn't mean It will happen this season

Teams will quite reasonably see us as promotion favourites just based off how much money we’ve spent. Lot of new pressure on Robins - I just hope he’s given time.

But we've not spent a penny that we haven't generated ourselves by the sale of Gyokeres.
Even the wage bill is offset by the number of players from various levels that we let go.

It's not as if a sugar daddy has taken over and is looking to buy promotion. So no other clubs fans can complain. It's purely down to good management and an owner who's willing to back that management.

Come off if. Leicester have signed 5 already and they will be returning - I’d be staggered if we aren’t around promotion in May

Fair f*cks with the optimism. I still think we'll get the same points or a few more and just miss out. Difference this season will be that we won't have to rebuild again.

I wouldn’t say our club is a model of sustainability at the moment. If we don’t get promoted in the next few seasons then it’s a big headache for Doug.

Not really he hasn’t invested a penny of his own bank account, if anything it’s wages that fuck a club not fees

We've got a stronger squad than last season especially if we get O'Hare back, it'd be a disappointing season to not have at the very least a serious play off challenge

That's exactly why the players he's brought in are of an age that they will have a sell on value.
We only need 1 to be picked up by a Premier league club to fund a similar recruitment process.

Pessure now swiches to the management team to deliver a top 6 finish.
The owner has delivered and quite rightly will expect results.

I wonder how Matty Godden is feeling right now, hopefully it will spur him on to get a couple of goals on Sunday.

Robins did say earlier today we are still 4 players short of the amount of players we had last season, actually now 3 with Wright confirmed. So at the minimum we need another 3. I guess the main thing is the overall quality of the squad is on another level compared to last season.

Godden is 32 and has done his job here well .. I'd imagine at his age he would be more than happy to play 3rd or 4th choice here and try and help when he's needed .. hard to find 1 in 3 strikers to sit on your bench

It's weird to think that finishing outside of the top 6 will actually feel like failure.
What a time to be alive!

Agreed, in fairness to him he's a team player and doesn't seem to have an ego.

I think Godden will start on Sunday, but after that, he will find it hard to stay in the team.

We've got a big Yank on our side,
Wears the sky blue shirt with pride
He's big and strong and he's up for the fight
And he goes by the name of Haji Wright!
