You carry on masking over the massive issues on the pitch
You carry on masking over the massive issues on the pitchThe doom and gloom merchants have come out to play I see.....
Let's wait and see where we are in the new year. We are 7 games into the season for christ sake, and have practically a brand new team. How about we have a bit of patience?You carry on masking over the massive issues on the pitch
Transitional yes I’d happily acceptLet's wait and see where we are in the new year. We are 7 games into the season for christ sake, and have practically a brand new team. How about we have a bit of patience?
Laughable there's people questioning robins future on here, moaning about Doug and god knows what else.
Even if we do say, come bottom half this season (which I don't believe we will), it's not the end of the world is it ? Everyone knows that this team is a project and most accepted this would be a transitional period for us.

If the start of this season indicates a dogfight, then what on earth did you think at this point last seasonTransitional yes I’d happily accept
this season doesn’t look like a transitional one, it looks like a dogfight
Just saying mate it’s a general 16/1 we get relegatedTransitional yes I’d happily accept

Sorry but I still don't agree. There are much more glaring holes in the squad and there are at least four options to cover MvE.A month ago some of us were pointing out we were weak in exactly these 2 positions whilst others were banging on about another LWB or ACM.
Chickens have come home to roost. Just saying.
"Robins must want another RWB. Unless someone else can cover there we only have one, Milan.
I know Sakamoto, Eccles can play there but I would hate to see Milan out for a while and then we lose Sakamoto as an impact sub or Eccles in his proper position. Then we would be forced to bring on Kelly for Sheaf or another midfielder.
Remember we have lost Norton-Cuffy, Dabo, Kane and loaned out Burroughs." Oakey 22nd August 2023
I'd be the last person to call for Robins head but the term long term project and transitional season words worry me. I've seen so many managers lose their job with this excuse.Let's wait and see where we are in the new year. We are 7 games into the season for christ sake, and have practically a brand new team.

It'll be an interesting test as to King's mentality. For better or worse, Fisher was actually quite loyal to managers.I'd be the last person to call for Robins head but the term long term project and transitional season words worry me. I've seen so many managers lose their job with this excuse.
He did allow Thorn to have the summer transfer window in 2012 before sacking him less than 10 games in...It'll be an interesting test as to King's mentality. For better or worse, Fisher was actually quite loyal to managers.

And coming off the back of a elegation, that was pretty loyal!He did allow Thorn to have the summer transfer window in 2012 before sacking him less than 10 games in...
Correctit was 3 games wasn’t it?
Well no it wasn't. If you were determined to stick with him you'd give him more time. As it was he obviously should have been sacked before the summer and someone with a brain allowed to recruit.And coming off the back of a elegation, that was pretty loyal!
Yes it was. We waited until there was absolutely no other option, as it was clear he was unable to facilitate a bounce back.Well no it wasn't
No, a chairman quick to pull the trigger wouldn't have let him take charge for the 11/12 season either or would at least have sacked him once it became clear we were in trouble.Yes it was. We waited until there was absolutely no other option, as it was clear he was unable to facilitate a bounce back.
A chairman quick to pull the trigger would have done so before the previous season had finished.
So therefore you're agreeing with me that he was loyal to Thorn?!?No, a chairman quick to pull the trigger wouldn't have let him take charge for the 11/12 season either or would at least have sacked him once it became clear we were in trouble.
Haha! Complete mess I am today.So therefore you're agreeing with me that he was loyal to Thorn?!?
Sorry but I still don't agree. There are much more glaring holes in the squad and there are at least four options to cover MvE.
Eccles, which would be my preference as it allows us to use Ayari in his preferred position and solve the 'Kelly and Eccles are too defensive together' issue.
Dasilva, and bring in Bidwell at lwb. Bidwell is fine although Dasilva is rather left footed.
Latibeaudiere, he'd be fine at rwb but it would weaken the central defense,
Sakamoto. I think we bought him as wing back cover although recent comments suggest Robins is not convinced.
I am much more concerned about the lack of cover at no 10 (why didn't we sign a loan from the Premier League to cover O'Hare's injury?) and for Godden. How many goals will we score if he gets injured?
Kelly in midfield, no fucker at RWB and Godden a nailed on starter up front. All a bit embarrassing for recruitment atm.You wouldn’t think we’ve spent tens of millions on the squad.
I’d be tempted to go back four with Lati Rb and maybe Bidwell LB. Two of Thomas/Binks/Kitching at CB (not sure fadz can play in a four). Saka, eccles, Allen and Ayari in midfield with Godden and Simms up top
ps Sod’s Law with injuries, to have ohare, sheaf and MVE all injured at same time is unlucky
Well, yes, there are options but all square pegs in round holes.Sorry but I still don't agree. There are much more glaring holes in the squad and there are at least four options to cover MvE.

Noooowhat about Drinkwater who is available at the moment?
We need an actual RB besides him anyway. Saka isn’t the answer.To have him back in two months rather than six is a huge relief, as well as a good lesson in why you don’t just rush out and sign whichever free agent RB you’ve heard of as soon as someone gets injured.
We'll still be playing a makeshift RWB until probably December at least, so only having the one and a lot of makeshift back-ups is hardly some sort of master strategy.To have him back in two months rather than six is a huge relief, as well as a good lesson in why you don’t just rush out and sign whichever free agent RB you’ve heard of as soon as someone gets injured.
Lol..agreed hes a wingback...Is there such a thing as a perfect wing back. I dont think so.I can’t get over how even though he’s playing every game at wingback. People still won’t accept Sakamoto as a wingback
