Robins

Bad cobdition to play. Wind ice etc
Long journey
Take point all day long and move on
Another away game sat so ill take it
Alot of dark arts going on
Shoild have had a pen. Absolute disgrace. Its assault
Neither team showed quality
We kept ball ok but playing backwards
Max twisted his ankle early
Callum a bright spark
Pushed walsh firther fwd 2nd half
Just one of those games
Another pt to our total
Unbeaten. Good ckean sheet run
Fleetwood cross alot. Make it difficult
Better weather we wud have created more chances
We didnt use wind
Brill turn and shot by walsh
Max shud have thrown himself st rebound
They tried get mcallum sent off
Horrendus conditions. Simple as that
We are still a work in progress
Fleetwood squad of men
Lets move on and play better next time
2 wins and a draw away lately
Bristol rovers have made signings so diff game
May be cause to change the team
Business might be dine b4 window
We r teying to keep players but bids have come in
From prem team foe mcallum. Over 1 million
Club turned it down
Hoowfully keep him. Its not enough for him
Are we steing ebough to hold him? We need to be. His value will rise

Ideally sell him for a good few and loan him back. Use the money to strengthen. If there’s nothing out there, then keep him

He is better than mason. I used to be on fence but he is. I do not wa t to lose him. It could unbalance our promotion push which is worth more to the club in thr long run

I wonder how much robons is expecting?

2.5m? 5m? Surely no more?

no need to loan him back if thats the case. Heart isnt in it, same as Maddison.

£1m isn’t a big bid really - some on here were saying we should ask for £10m.

We are a desperate L1 club, add about £500k onto that and I think he’ll be gone

Better than only having one left back surely? I don’t buy the no heart thing. We fucked Maddison up by shoving him wide to shoehorn joe Cole into the team

Sell him, bring Mason in and buy a proven scorer at this level and top 2 it is.

It's the add on stuff that will be important. Think McCallum needs a rest anyway. Put Mason in on Saturday. Let Allen loose if he's fit too.

Was told yesterday that bid was 1.5 million.
Let's be realistic here.
And we knew this would come back to bite us.... with people choosing not to attend games, the club need to recoup money.
Obvious way of doing it.
If you aren't going to home games out of choice, don't dare to moan when we sell players.

MR more likely to be pissed off if can't reinvest any of the money. Club would make more money out of McCallum in the summer, anyway and can then use any funds strategically re squad / balancing books. Cup run must have made more income than budgeted for (especially if we beat Blues)

If he goes and we don’t bring in a replacement I’ll be fuming. The best chance we’ve had of promotion back to the champ, do not blow it now! If it’s the right price and it helps us bring in a replacement plus a forward, then I’m all for it.

A forward is not just a striker. A pacey winger might also add another option off the bench.

If that’s true and happens che sara. Beginning of the season Brandon Mason was our best player so not too bothered. If it happens, be interesting if Robins brings someone in.

I’ve been calling for a winger but with Hiwula out of favour, would there be any point?

He’s no idiot, he’ll have a plan for if he goes.

As for £1m, that values a “Premiership quality” player at not too much more than Godden. I’d say bearing in mind where we are £1.75m to £2m plus a loan for rest of season gets him.

Then we can add him to the list of players who’ve left us for better things and gone on to hardly kick a ball.

But who’s there to cover if Mason gets injured? You can’t gamble on the fact that he won’t get injured at some point during the rest of the season, then what will we do?

He’s pissed off as he just watched a load of big blokes play anti-football against us & he knows points on the board are better than games in hand, I doubt he’s pissed about McAllum as he’s dealt with that stuff every window so far.
I dare say he’s also a bit chuffed that we didn’t cave in, that’s no easy feat dealing with all their shit and coming away with a point.

No it doesn’t - we would have the lowest budget in the Championship by far and could still be playing in front of the lowest attendances

If or when McCallum goes.
What would be more preferred a new striker or to try and get walsh in on a permanent deal?

A striker is worth more than a left back

Also he seems very good at using social media to build up interest in his players
