@betterdays Do you think Robins is planning to increase our pace in the full back positions ?? So important to the way we play.

I've heard Robins is not keen on Moore. Any truth?

Don't think so
Just a question of giving Ben Wilson a few games at the end of the season
Wilson is a very popular member of the squad

Any hints about changing formation next season away from wingbacks to more of a 433/4231?

On a similar theme. … How do we think Robins is thinking of improving our defence … change in players or system tweak ?

I’d love Callum styles from Barnsley, If I recall our resident Barnsley fan reckons they’ll take any offers for their players

That’s a good shout actually, would cover both LWB and CM slots in the squad.

That Corbeanu from MK Dons looked a raw talent last night against Wycombe. Signed him from Wolves - only about 19, and although his final ball was a bit hit and miss, there was a lot to like about his willingness to attack the full back. Went either side, too, and looked interesting to me.

Does that sound like the kind of player that’ll improve us right now?

Would love it if Badlan comes back and suggests there's this new lad from Zwolle he thinks we should sign, because he'll be far too good for this league

Given the game that Robins has purportedly gone to watch, an ex Zwolle player now at another Dutch club would seem to fit the bill. Having said that, it sounds like Forest were in for him at one point so whether we could afford him who knows.

If we're moving fringe players out, we're going to need to replace them with better quality fringe players, who may have more impact. He is one suggestion, and his age suggests he should improve. To be fair, he looks more of a winger than a wing back, but he is a player with pace who can beat a man. MK had a few youngsters worth a look.

It's a good guess but I'd be surprised.

According to reports Fortuna were looking for around £2m for him in Jan.

6 months off his contract isn't really likely to make them budge on that figure, if it's even accurate of course.

He's had another good season and was their top goal scorer. I heard Millwall were in for him.

I'd imagine their interest was probably conditional on Jed Wallace departing as the fee they would've received would've been pretty much similar to Fortuna's asking price.

With Wallace now all but confirmed to depart I guess they might reignite their interest this summer but that entirely depends on whether they can afford the fee.

The important thing is to have players who can deliver good balls into the penalty area.

Pace is very useful but pointless without an end product.

Was going to say it could've been left back George Cox, but he didn't play in that game.

Could have been looking at Zian Flemming, goal scoring attacking midfielder who previously played at Pec Zwolle
