Surely on his bike now?

With O'Hare, Bright and a fit Jones we have enough options in his role now.


Did well in L1 for us but not quite championship quality i feel

Wigan and Portsmouth have shown interest.

Either would be a far better fit.

Hopefully it's a tandem with Shipley behind him.

Yup would be good to see them both sold and save some wages.

I wonder if we’ll do any! You’d like to think we will but it’s much better to have our own players to invest in and grow

A few prem loans to sprinkle on top can make the difference though

Correct. One of Norwich’s key players Skipp was a premier league loan.

Are we playing this season with just the best eleven? Or do we need a squad. Those two were involved in a quite a few games - hardly a Kastaneer!

Also upgrading squad players often doesn't save wages it increases the wage bill.

I really thought Allen would kick on last season but looked out of his depth most of the time so it's probably for the best to let him move on for both his sake and ours

Yeah I agree. Meant sell to bring in money for defenders not more midfielders

Our owner needs to understand championship clubs have to pay championship wages I think they do. Robins will have to clear the decks a bit but we are four players down from last seasons loanee contingent
So even with the four recent new signings I think MR is still within his budget.

We’ve signed Waghorn who I would imagine is on a relatively large wage?

Yes, would be nice if we could grow Jamie Allen to about 6ft 2.

Thought he was brilliant when he came into the team towards the end of our promotion season. But yes has so far proved to be ineffective at this level.

Why the negativity towards Shipley? He scored the same amount of goals as COH in 19-20 less games.

He’s a good role player and he ended last season really positively!

He scored 1 decent goal. He’s not fit enough to play how we want in this league.

It's a shame for Shipley I can't tell if it's lack of fitness or belief but he just seems to go missing. Will have an OK game then next few won't even notice he's on the pitch...

Disagree. Besides, he clearly isn’t going to be a starter. Our budget will be the approximately the 4th lowest in the division, there won’t really be better alternatives for that role for where we’re at now.

We still have gaps to fill in defence and central midfield. Although I’m hoping Rose (who finished the season well) and Sheaf can step up their games this season.

I think we all seen the level being a step to far for him, but nobody can fault his effort or the part he has played in getting us to the championship. I don't see it getting easier for him or it helping the squad by holding onto him if he hasn't improved enough to get playing time. He is not the only one and MR has more than a few players he needs to move on or loan out to help add quality to this group if possible. I can see lots of movement probably more out than in, but Mason, jobello and Allen being names we will see.

I’m fairness to Shipley he played a lot of last season in a team struggling with a lot of injuries to key players until February/March but I thought once our better players returned as the team improved so did he don’t see him in the starting eleven and might move on but being left sided I think Robins will hang on to him.

Allen was unlucky. He had a quiet (not poor) start, then as soon as he had a good game or two, got dropped!

He needs a move though, for his sake.

Was injured for his first half season. Looked class in League One. Scored a genuinely beautiful goal at Bristol Rovers. Turned up to the league winning celebrations in full kit complete with his name and number on his shirt.

He wasn’t the only player that looked to struggle in the Championship last season and I won’t be distraught if he stays on to fight for a place. Equally if he moves on I wish him all the best.

Wouldn’t mind keeping Allen but he’s someone we could probably bring in a little bit of money for
