Mate, seriously, are you ok? Maybe it's time to chill a little?8 players out
1 in
Academy player sold
Season tickets
Weekly attendances
It’s clear we needed a couple of decent bids why didn’t the club give robins some help ? We were in a great position,small squad games are always gonna take toll....anyway this is my 3rd and final thread for tonight,see you all Saturday PUSB
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
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.
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
Didn’t they use the season ticket one last pre season ?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.
One of our worst ever signings.Hilssner was apparently on 4k/pw and gone on loan to a club in Germany’s third tier!

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
One of our worst ever signings.
Was he even a robins signing ?Hard to argue with that, can only think how out of his depth he must have been for Robins to never consider him.

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

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).Sure I remember the same happened to Salako
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 offSure I remember the same happened to Salako
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.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.

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