So it’s an injury that doesn’t affect performance. So it’s irrelevant then?

If MR is playing, in your words, a League 2 striker over a recent loan signing from PL, then it suggests the signing has been a waste of time.
He probably has little to no motivation now after having to sit through Biamou’s recent performances and still be on the bench.

Given he's only been here a matter of weeks, if he were to give up after being looked over for a game or two, then his character probably wouldn't be up to professional football anyway.

Then I’m unsure why you’re replying to me because that’s what I’m saying.

We have a league one squad. Robins has made some mistakes, No one is disputing that. Substitutions are odd at times, persisting with a striker who clearly isn’t up to it is also baffling. But a lot of this comes down to what we can afford to bring in. Gyokores seems an odd signing if he’s not going to play. However there is no evidence to suggest there was an alternative striker available at a price or wage we can afford. The new Ollie Watkins doesn’t just grow on a magical centre forward tree.

Constant poor signings have put us here....

I keep seeing this we have no money crap constantly posted, if we have no money why do we keep taking risks on players from abroad, most of them offer absolutely nothing to the first team squad, Kasta, Jobello, Hilssner etc, extensions for Baka, jones etc, instead of going for quantity we should have signed 2 or 3 players of real quality, he uses the same 14 players every week no matter what.

There doesn't seem to be a real plan for signings at the moment, It's literally a case of throw enough shit and something will eventually stick, even if we went up and said we'll probably go straight back down, at least put a top quality League One squad together so we can bounce straight back. If we go down we'll need to clear out at least half the signings we made this summer as they're clearly just not good enough, probably lose Dabo & Hamer. We'll be in a far worse position then when we were promoted.

We've got to stay up, clear out as much as possible and sign some real talented players.

We were saying the same things back in L2, he has a game plan, if it doesn't work, he hasn't got a clue how to change it. I don't think we should be looking to change manager just yet but he needs to up his game imo.

Real talented players cost the sort of money our owners are not able to/prepared to invest. End of thread.

I agree the 'squad' signings are looking bizarre. And then as someone says he only uses the same 14.

Hilsner, kasta, Jobello, bapaga, Eccles.
Pask has been here two years hasn't played in his natural position once.
Baka kept on and never played
Eccles brought back to play u23s
We've a heck of a lot of deadwood and a lot of these he brought in the last 18 months.

I don't want MR out. I want MR to step up and deliver again for us

It's not end of thread at all. It's not owners fault Shipleys been dogga for 3 months yet still played on despite everyone on here calling it. Only now has he been taken out the firing line. That's not Joy's decision to play him

To an extent but Luton and Millwall and even Brentford for a period had relatively modest wage bills. The problem I have with robins is he’s very welded to the Sisu project and viva versa

It’s her decision to take deferred interest payments back and it’s her decision to now fund the club on recoverable interest bearing loans and certainly to decide to play in a different city and in normal times starve the club of revenue

Yeah but what's that gotta do with dropping Gyo after scoring or making no subs at ht after a pathetic first half showing?

I'm saying stop signing players from abroad who offer us nothing and sign 2-3 talented players, there seems to be no plan to signings, before it was sign talented players that are under the radar for whatever reason, improve them and flog on, now it's just sign an asthmatic kraut from a pub league because a spreadsheet says he might be good.

Is MR failing to adapt to the championship? Our whole set up is league 2. We are looking ridiculously naive at times from the top down. This isn't just about Shipley in the worst form of his life. This is the management of players. Gyo scores and has a stormer. Dropped. Allen scores and has best 20 mins, doesn't play. Baka gets no chance at all, starts one game, shite, never to be seen again where as others get chance after chance despite being poor.

Thinking about it our squad is all over the place

Hard to argue with any of that.

He doesn’t fit into the team as we don’t play wingers. Plus he’s not that good.
