I wasn't too happy with Allen getting a new deal.
And I'm desperately unhappy with Shipley getting another life at cov.
We need the bodies, but if everyone is fit I don't think those two are good enough. It's so frustrating but this is time for someone like Eccles to stamp his mark and typical he's fucking injured

Blind-Faith · Feb 15, 2022

And then they want to put the prices of the season tickets up aswell, cheeky fuckers! Was really glad we didn’t lose any of our star players , but I’m starting to get more pissed off with each game that we only bought in a LWB whose not looking up to the job atm

Mate, seriously, are you ok? Maybe it's time to chill a little?

Letting go of Walker on loan was a huge mistake...he wasn't great but offered something different, and we're currently relying on Gyokeres to deliver the goods since other attackers are not really chipping in, and Godden is out

Walker had to go to make way for Bidwell - our illustrious owners supporting the manager again

Skyblueweeman · Feb 16, 2022

I think the whole 8 out/1 in as a bit misleading. A number of the players that went weren't in or around the 1st team, nor on great wages.

100% we shouldve brought more in but let's not make it sound like we got rid of 8 first teamers and brought in 1.

Walker was a mistake...and we were dreadfully unlucky that Goddens appendix went the next day. Walker stays if that happened 48hrs earlier and we would have more options upfront.

Agreed. I've seen people peddle that narrative without a great deal of understanding of how loans actually work.

Bar Walker I suspect we would've covered the majority of the remaining outgoing loanees wages.

Hilssner was apparently on 4k/pw and gone on loan to a club in Germany’s third tier!

The club have to put up season ticket prices so we can have a better chance at improving our squad. Season ticket holders have had a great season so far, and got it on the cheap. Those bargain bucket prices are not sustainable in the long run if we want to have a competitive team in this league. If our average match ticket is £25, then a price of £400 works out around £18 per match, so season ticket holders still get a decent discount, as well as priority on away tickets etc.

Didn’t they use the season ticket one last pre season ?

No, but accumulated together the wages or part wages saved were clearly used to get Bidwell in. Then we decided on a whim to turn down money for Shipley to go in January instead of for free in the summer, so Walker had to go on loan instead.

Looks silly now in more than one respect

From what I understand, Walkers wages helped with the Bidwell signing.

Hard to argue with that, can only think how out of his depth he must have been for Robins to never consider him.

rob9872 · Feb 17, 2022

Tbf we are a little short, but at the time we had Eccles and Godden fit, Dabo and Kelly not expected to be out for so long and Hamer still 3 bookings from being suspended. Throw those 5 into the mixing pot and the squad looks a lot deeper and stronger. Unfortunately Bidwell hasnt hit the ground running either. Timing hasn't been great to key areas, but it has meant players needing to play that weren't so far up the list. We can't carry a large squad with as much quality on our budget, so we cut our cloth and ultimately for whatever reason it hasn't all worked, but I certainly wouldn't be pushing the panic button yet.

Was he even a robins signing ?

Depends what you mean by a “Robins signing”, he has the final say of who comes into the club but he wouldn’t have been extensively watched by him I would have thought

As with pretty much all the signings Badlan will identify a target, make a case for him, then Robins will probably get the final say.

Given we were in the top flight when we signed him Runar Norman is a similar bizarre signing. He did score a goal I guess but his career after us was pub league level

I think he's the only sub I've ever seen subbed and not due injury or an essential tactical change eg a sending off

rob9872 · Feb 17, 2022

On Hilssner he came for the development squad. A lot did the year before (eg Allasani etc) who never stepped up and were moved on, but let's not forget his underlying health issue that was unknown. Germany's 3rd is a level he needs to play at if he's to get back up again as he's basically had no football or progression for two years. He did show some promise technically but for whatever reason (and not through lack of professionalism or effort) couldn't get to the required level of fitness for the Championship.

Not sure he came for the development squad, he was 25 at the time of signing?

Sure I remember the same happened to Salako

I don't remember that though Salako quite quickly fell from grace after a promising start. Normann was away at Watford in the last game of the season (that confirmed a whole season without winning an away league game).

Correct was at Highfield road I’m sure Strachen wanted him to take his man on but he just didn’t fancy is so he took him back off

I think Robins was unlucky let Walker out on loan no moans from me about that but then in form Matty Godden goes down with bloody appendicitis can’t legislate for that as for Shipley we will never find out but my guess what ever plan MR had didn’t happen so he hung on to Shippers.

stupot07 · Mar 19, 2022

We are now paying the price of a really poor January transfer window.

Whilst we let a load of deadwood go, we brought in just Jake Bidwell.

Outs
Bright mutual consent in November
Jobello mutual consent
Drysdale loan to end of the season
Pask loan to end of the season
Rowe loan to the end of the season
Dacosta loan to the end of the season
Hilsne4 loan to the end of the season

In
Bidwell

Whilst none are really of the required standard it has left us desperately low on numbers. We should have surely brought in 1 or 2 on loan to bolster the squad.

You haven’t even mentioned the one player we farmed out who’s already shown he can impact games in this division.

The issue is bodies, we let 7 go, freed up wages and bought just 1 in. We did well to get rid of some of the deadwood, but didn't address the lack of depth.
