We are talking about games, things that aren't working during the matches. Why we can't score many goals.
Meow, very sassy.
Can’t really follow the thread of what you’re trying to say exactly. Why would he potentially be a ‘waste’ if you’re also ‘convinced’ he’ll come good in the coming seasons?
Maybe they didn’t put a bid in, but I think as sources go, the words of the Barnsley manager is pretty concrete. It’s not like our bid for Hiwula was public knowledge, he signed out of nowhere. Nor was our bid for Chaplin public knowledge either — our interest was, and thanks to our Portsmouth friends we found a deal was in place. But was a bid public? The details came out after the matter iirc.

There’s nothing in the post you quoted that suggests you slag off players. But your critique of JCH is wrong. He’s roughly scoring 1 in 4 too so both are set to score about 10 goals. That’s decent. But, if you’re saying we ‘need’ a new striker is pretty much saying he isn’t good enough, implicitly. So far, Hiwula, Chaplin and JCH are all roughly on for 10 goals each, that would be a v good return in my book. Having 3 decent goal scorers in a team is better than one outstanding goal scorer in a team.
Despite quoting you, my last paragraph was strictly a generalised comment.
We’re 9th place and have lost 1 game in the last 7. What’s failing exactly? In the bigger picture, what is a goal for this season? Is it top half? Mid table? Well, that’s where we are so we’re succeeding in our goals on that basis.
We don’t score many goals, which is offset by us having one of the best defences in the league.

Results and our league position is more important. Objectively, we’re performing above expectation, would you disagree with that?
Robins might not be a Guardiola, but he’s a clever man who knows what he’s doing.
Yes and we have just lost 3 in a row.
So people can't discuss the system, tactics etc unless we are struggling in the table? Random.
Of course that isn’t my phrase. But apparently over the last few games Chaplin and JCH doesnt work, nor does Hiwula on the wing, Doyle in midfield and ‘the system’ doesn’t work. We seem to be doing awfully well all things considered then.
2 were low stakes cup games where we fielded a weakened team in both games. We were probably the better team than Walsall besides the last 20m.

Judge Rinder probably knows more about football.
Are you just literally looking at a league table and making your mind up?
Over the last few games it hasn't worked, it's the same issue we had last season.
Think you struggle to read... I said a waste of MONEY, IF he isn’t going to be at his most effective until next season. Nothing to do with his quality, I was responding to somebody else who said he isn’t going to be most effective without the right partner, and so it is a bit of a waste until we have the right partner?
Fair enough hadn’t seen that. Doesn’t mean he would have signed mind you...
Well 10 goal a seasons strikers don’t win you promotions simple as. So yes I’m not happy with that. 1 in 4 isn’t good enough. It would be if we had a 1 in 2 striker but atm as you have now highlighted we don’t have that.
Not at all, but I’m objective in my overview in of the system. If you think a system is broken after the odd loss, you’d be chopping changing so often, it would be a detriment to the team. So you have to take a look at the bigger picture, and in the league, we’ve lost once in 7 games, so to say ‘the system’ or certain players don’t work is, well, bring rash. Right now, the system is working. Lose the next 2-4 games, then I’ll be more receptive to this idea of a ‘failed’ system.
If it's Jordy Hiwula time, it's time to turn off the lights and for everyone to go home. He was - as others have pointed out - truly mediocre and ineffectual at Burton, and while I wouldn't totally write him off, it might be time to give someone/anyone else a chance.
His first touch is very poor which isn’t a great attribute when playing central.On the wing.... so play him as a striker. It’s a novel idea.

Robins fault every time with Chaplin! he will not let him loose like he did with McNultyi think once chplin plays in opposition box and gambles on knock ons he wills core a hat full
wether thats his fault or robins currently i do not know but it needs to be rectified
Just need to watch his you tube clips from Pompey he don’t even look the same playerRobins fault every time with Chaplin! he will not let him loose like he did with McNulty
