So you're including our loaned out players and the ones who replaced them? That's ridiculous. Might aswell say we've lost 50 players on last 5 years so we need 50.

Dacosta gone all season. Kane and waghorn gone at January and replaced by loans who you've also included!!!!

And Reid

Did they play a part during the season?

With your 3 players that you think we need. What positions would you sign?

Actual losses are 4 loans, Vik, Dabo arguably Rose although not included for months and an experienced bench warmer to replace waggy/Maguire. Stop wetting the bed

So you would start the season with 2 centre halves, one who is 36 years old. Brilliant.

Brilliant so we are gonna have a season with 1 substitute CB when we play a back 3, with a guy whos mainly played RWB at CB too. Hopefully no injuries then.

For what JWE added last season him, but Panzo barely played post Christmas which is why we added McNally. Slso had Rose out of squad so definitely a waste.

Bidders Sheaf and DaSilva can all play CB in a 3 if we needed. Quality over quantity.

Rose did play games in march and April - we will need options at centre back and robins himself said the squad wasn’t big enough to cope with the run in at the end

Quality over quantity and you want a LB playing there, our best CDM, and someone who is 5"4 playing at CB. Do you realise we are able to have 9 subs as well next year.

LCB in a 3 is not the same as in a 2. Also I'd expect one of him or Bidwell in there anyhow. Bidwell was solid defensively and JDS not been bought for the bench.

I also didn't say want them playing there but options if more than 1cb injured.

I'd rather us sign actual CB's personally but we will agree to disagree.

Which games in march and April? Not disputing it, but I don't remember any games for him that late.

No, its not unreasonable to want at least 3 CB's in. I'd imagine by the end of the window Robins will have signed 3 rather than playing DaSilva and Sheaf CB like you suggest.

I'm going off the assumptions of others that Joel and Collins have signed. If that's the case in my opinion we still need the following...
3 x CB
1 x RWB (possibly depending on where Robins sees certain other players he's signed playing)
2 x ST
I'm sure we'll get all of the above and I'm sure Robins will add a wildcard us lot don't feel we need either. Maybe another AM. If the option to upgrade presents itself you have to take it, even if seemingly not a priority.

I didn't ffs. Read! I had 4 cb and then if 2 were injured I gave you the options we had in ghd squad. That's without even Burroughs who can also play there.

Would love McNally back not sure on our chances though, cuffy shown great improvement as the season went on so would have him back for sure

Agree with most, but I think only 1 ST unless Godden goes.

Possibly yes, if we're sticking with 1 up front. If we're changing to a 2 we'll probably need another 2. Wait and see on that one I guess.

Thanks. So his only contribution in our 1 defeat in the last 22 games was as a HT sub in our 4nil home defeat.

Thanks Rosey

(Joke btw before anyone gets out of their pram, I genuinely rated him but couldn't change our back 3)

I think it’s possible to both trust in Robins and the management team and also be a bit concerned that we still need a lot of players in without much time to go until the first game. Robins himself often talks about players needing time to bed in and how positive a good pre-season can be so it feels less than ideal to have basically half a defence, if that, at the moment.

Yes. Alabi signed a new contract I think? Lusala is the lad from spurs. Still under contract but hasn't pulled up any trees so far

Yes, both in the U21s. It was more as a joke as we didn’t have any young CB on the periphery of the squad last season.
