Any side without Wright & Sakamoto in it looks weak
Any side without Wright & Sakamoto in it looks weakIt's the same for all sides. We're nothing special in that way.
We have such a good side that we can rearrange the side without being very weak. Other sides below us don't have that luxury. Not as good as a fully fit first team but at least we can bring in players that know the system and what their job is. Bring on loans and they could spend a few games just trying to get up to speed and that's if they're even match fit.
The way some talk you would think there's a glut of players match fit that would slot straight in that their side would be happy to let go until the end of the season.
Take two very good players out of any of the sides around us and they would look weak. And that's if they even have two very good players to start with.Any side without Wright & Sakamoto in it looks weak
Two players shouldn’t be catastrophic.Take two very good players out of any of the sides around us and they would look weak. And that's if they even have two very good players to start with.
Take two top players out of most Prem sides and they would look weak. Are you still pissed off we have made it into the playoff places and are putting a gap between us and the sides below when you told us how shite we are constantly?
You've gone from looking weak to catastrophic. You're a right proper drama queen.Two players shouldn’t be catastrophic.
Dropping points on Tuesday is the opposite of building a gap.
Not sure when I said we were shite (apart from pre formation change, when we were).
Table tells me we are out of the top 6 if Hull win their game in hand.You've gone from looking weak to catastrophic. You're a right proper drama queen.
So we haven't caught up with the sides around the playoff places then gone past them putting a gap between us in just a few weeks because of one game? Look at the table. Look forward to your excuses.
Please directly quote where I said “never give the kids a go”What’s the point in having an academy if we’re never going to give the kids ago or if our best talents are deemed nowhere near the standard?
Form also tells you they have only won 1, drawn 1 and lost 3 so far this year. Yes they might win but you talk as though they're an excellent side and ignore how quickly we caught them up then went past them.Table tells me we are out of the top 6 if Hull win their game in hand.
A Simms - Godden - Palmer front 3 would be pretty catastrophic for our playoff chances.
Oooh kitty. You’re turning in to a proper little company man. Robins sounds gutted, he stated he is disappointed with what’s happened but you are happy. Who knows more about football doug or robins? We’re light as a squad and will fall away from the play offs and finish about 10th. But your happy with that as we are building for 2030.I'll give you a bit of attention. I know it's what you crave.
No backing at all other than the signing of Torp who although not up to speed in the Championship scored a great goal and put some very good corners in as well as made a few good runs and also spent another few million on another young prospect that loves to attack.
Next you'll be begging for a better owner more on the lines of someone like SISU who would fund our club much better
Edit...can you pretend you're Robins please.
So if we make the play offs can you confirm you will fall on your sword and admit you know sod all?Oooh kitty. You’re turning in to a proper little company man.

I’ll have £100 with you for the season ticket fund we won’t make it.So if we make the play offs can you confirm you will fall on your sword and admit you know sod all?
Seen the other thread?So if we make the play offs can you confirm you will fall on your sword and admit you know sod all?
I asked if you can loan players outside the window as I was unsure. I didn’t say you could. You are a liar show your true colours.Seen the other thread?
He thinks you can have 3 loan players in your squad and can sign loan players outside the transfer window
Not bad for someone who is saying we will end up closer to mid table than the top 6 because we're not bringing in loan players.
So you admit you're clueless and didn't know what you were talking about. You made them comments this morning.I asked if you can loan players outside the window as I was unsure. I didn’t say you could. You are a liar show your true colours.
You can loan up to 5 players. Southampton have 5, not doing too bad are they.
I said I would like up to 3 as more than that is too much in my opinion.So you admit you're clueless and didn't know what you were talking about. You made them comments this morning.
Did you not say 3 loan players in the squad? You didn't ask if that was right.
I’d rather take one or 2 loans players of better quality. We needed to own the vast majority of our players as we never want a squad turnover like last season it killed us. I think though you can have up to 3 loan players in a squad. Can you still loan players even though the window has closed?
You didn't answer my question tho. Will you admit you talk shite and got it wrong? Even if you bet you would find a way to get out of payingI’ll have £100 with you for the season ticket fund we won’t make it.
Just shown him to be full of shite.You didn't answer my question tho. Will you admit you talk shite and got it wrong? Even if you bet you would find a way to get out of paying
Yeah you're right, although we were majorly reliant on Hamer and Gyokeres, our only response to the Hamer injury, was to put an injured Palmer on for 15 minutes before subbing him back on.We fell short last season as we "ran out of squad" at Wembley.
I will be surprised if we are not in for the same.
Still, there's always next season, which I've heard from so many City fans since, mmmmm, about 1974.
What that weak that without Wright we win 3 matches and drew 2? The whole point of having a decent squad is the when the inevitable injuries come someone else can step in without drastically weakening the team. This is exactly what has happened since Middlesbrough with Wright injury.Any side without Wright & Sakamoto in it looks weak
We will never make the play offs if he is our our only signing....If anyone doubts the January window just cast yourself back 12 months
Sean Maguire on a free anyone ?
I thought BNC and particularly McNally ended up being very good for us. No way we got to the play off final without that January window.If anyone doubts the January window just cast yourself back 12 months
Sean Maguire on a free anyone ?
We’ve got MaguireIf anyone doubts the January window just cast yourself back 12 months
Sean Maguire on a free anyone ?
Last Jan we signed BNC and McNally who contributed a lot, Wilson Esbrand who played decent minutes and yes, MaguireIf anyone doubts the January window just cast yourself back 12 months
Sean Maguire on a free anyone ?
I agree. I would rather us have brought players in that meet the requirements than, as has happened so many times in the past, been bought just to make the numbers up. I’m just delighted that there is a plan to try to get promoted in the next five years. Lots of things to be optimistic about.I'm sure that there was plenty of activity trying to get transfers over the line but only the ones that are either prudent or for the long term. Undoubtedly Robins will feel disappointed but also will comprehend the big picture and know full well that summer additions will make this squad very competitive next season.
Whilst I am slightly disappointed in the immediate term looking further forward I am very optimistic. So much so that if we don't get promoted this season I will be having a substantial ew bet on us for The Championship next season.
That made me laugh. We went from the strongest bench we've had for years to not having the players to come in if we get injuriesSolid window for me. Two more prospects added to the “owned” ranks. No harmful departures and overall a sense that we are building professionally and carefully. No panic regards this year. Current squad is strong - in fact there is a thread stating that this team is better which most agreed with and we’ve added Torp to that.
Norwich are a decent side I agree. But they're nothing special. They're below us for a reason. Lack of consistency.
Of course anything can happen. Bit I'm happy with where we are.
Trying to cover for injuries is like how long is a piece of string?That made me laugh. We went from the strongest bench we've had for years to not having the players to come in if we get injuries
Tbf though, it now means we're back to having to have kids on the benchTrying to cover for injuries is like how long is a piece of string?
We have one player injured? Hardly a disaster to the squad, even if not ideal.
Ok Kitching is now suspended but so far Binks has been a like for like replacement.
