Come on, that doesn’t fit the narrative that some try to push on here.

The kid can’t get in the squad. It ain’t us writing him off.
As a whole this summers signings have been a fucking disaster in terms of impact on the team let’s be honest.

tbf, the major fucking disaster is not having had enough games yet to be able to call the signings a fucking disaster.
Half our marquee signings can’t even get in the squad and another still isn’t fit to play months after signing. I’m happy to call it as it is. Maybe it’ll all turn around but right now it’s looking pretty shocking. Why are we signing players who can’t even get in our squad?
Could you just imagine the total fucking bedwetting meltdown on here if (or when) Bidwell has a bad game?Also with Bidwell performing well and getting 2 assists in 3, there's no pressure to throw the Place lad in is there?
Doyle was signed to be backup and rotate with the other defenders, that much is clear and means Dabo will never have to play CB again. I don't really see the issue here. If we'd beaten Millwall as we should have, we'd be on 4 points and unbeaten in our first 2 and i'd be fairly content ON the pitch.
nerdI can't help but think of the start of Fifth Element every time I see this guys name. "Azeez light!"
Mate what are you actually talking about we’ve played two league games??Half our marquee signings can’t even get in the squad and another still isn’t fit to play months after signing.

Never mind that, I want to know why Gyokores isn't close to 20 goals yet.Mate what are you actually talking about we’ve played two league games??
Couple weeks without a game on here swear people lose the plot

After how many games?
We didn’t have another Lwb option like we do now with bidwell. Panzo has started both games, Doyle is his back up
Finished at the club?is he? What’s rose then?
A backup for Fadz and Hyamis he? What’s rose then?
Not the name that was mentioned to me. The name mentioned to me had played more games in League 1. Been reports the last few days his team want him out on loan (not necessarily to us!).
Robins himself said due to the clubs finances this years loans have been of a lesser quality than last season
When did he say that ?
After that farce at Burton.
He made no such comments regarding the quality of loanees compared to last season
Utter rubbish.
What was the exact quote?He did. He mentioned how lucky we were to have last years loanees insinuating this years weren't so good
'I'd rather have Ryan Haynes back than this Palace kid'What was the exact quote?
Mark Robins said:Where we were this time last year we had some really talented players, and I am not saying we haven’t now, but they were really game ready in Maatsen and Clarke-Salter who were a lot more developed and savvy with game understanding, so we are a little bit behind on that front, but as I have said before, we are ahead of the curve in terms of the numbers and some of the players who came in the other night were good, at the level you’d expect at this stage, and there were some who were below it.
But it’s really early, and it’s early in some of their careers. Tayo has come in from Crystal Palace and it’s his first loan and taste of it. You could see some really good signs but also there were some signs where you could see he’s just finding his feet and trying to understand what it is and what the game looks like at this level.
...
We try to develop those young lads and it’s a tough school, a really difficult learning curve, and a quick learning curve to have but it’s building blocks in their development that we don’t necessarily need. They are learning.
They are very young but that’s where we are and you can’t expect them to be performing at the same levels as the lads we had last season. It doesn’t happen. We were fortunate to get those lads last season but we have not got them this year. We have got some different players there.
Yeah that doesn't read as if "we have no money so have shitter players".
More like they were ready to throw straight in for starts.
It reads a lot like that to me.
If your new boss openly says “I’m not saying you’re not talented, but…”, and then starts eulogising the guy you replaced, it’s time for alarm bells.
It strikes me as very weird behaviour/man management from Robins tbh.
I think he’d keep the lad from palaceSo if Robins had the opportunity to send them back and try two alternates would he?
Would he keep either?
Known facts.It reads a lot like that to me.

Robins thinks the loanees this season aren't as developed as last season.
He would rather have his own players than loanees but, failing that, he would rather have developed loanees as the club don't necessarily need to have to go through the building blocks in said loanees' career.
So, if it's not money that means we've gone for less suitable loanees in the manager's judgement than last season, what is it? The manager fancied giving himself a challenge?
From that he sounds pretty pissed off in general at the moment.Known facts.
