Boddy has confirmed there will be outgoings as well, of 'fringe players' to lower league clubs.
Pask/Thompson, Jobello, Hilssner, Bapaga?

He’s a hater mate he hates us having any Success
dickheadSee you after the transfer window
I dunno
Tom Davies was bombed out wasnt he? Trouble maker?
You've misheard, it's David James as a back up keeperso with Daniel James coming in on loan, thats a winger sorted. Could do with a CM now as cover for kelly.
Possibly Baka. Out of contract at end of season (although a bit bare bones on strikers right now).
Yeah to be honest that position is concerning me more than any other at the moment.
I think it's highly probable that Robins is actively looking for another striker. But, given that strikers come at a premium and a lot of clubs will be all fishing from the same pool, it'll be nothing short of difficult to bring one in. It won't be made easier by the fact that our budget is likely to be minimal, especially if James is to come in. Plus on top of that we'll be at the maximum number of loans permitted in a match day 18 unless of course one of McCallum or Giles returns to their parent club.
Hopefully he can pull a rabbit out of his hat.
What an amazing way of spending your life, pretending things are racist online so people correct you. Do you also enjoy hailing busses only to not get on them, pressing all the buttons on an elevator only to get off on the first floor and vigorously pumping loads into your blow up doll?
we've got one!

You said;I'm not sure why you've quoted me as saying Robins failed with JCH. I never actually said that. Granted, I think he could've been more fluid in his approach in tailoring the system to JCH but I never said he failed him. That's an entirely different topic regardless. I recommend you read on in the thread to find out my stance on the JCH situation.
Again why are you misquoting me?
My point was, it's a myth that Robins is able to get the best out of difficult players, I've never said he failed with players. The notion that he's a miracle worker with difficult players is utter garbage though and there's little evidence to prove otherwise. I welcome you to try. For starers, we've had very few difficult players for him to deal with. I suspect Robins makes a habit out of avoiding such players as in previous conversations I've had with him he's openly discussed how his ideal players are those who listen attentively in training, work for the team and essentially are able to do as they're told without causing a fuss. Those who don't fit this bill and have had issues with their attitude/commitment have been frozen out and swiftly moved on. Hiwula, Brown and Nazon are prime examples of this.
The only example of a difficult player he got the best out of was Bright, and as I've said previously that's probably down to the fact that he let him do as he pleased whilst here on loan. If Bright had stayed on permanently he would've undoubtably been held to a much higher standard - which would've inevitably swiftly spelt the end of Bright's career at the club.

I'm not angry at all, I'd also like you to explain the nuances I've missed. It's obviously more than a lot of people unfairly criticise black players as being difficult because if it was he's have picked out a list that had perhaps not easily been shown to have been difficult. Then the fishing meme as opposed to being a tongue in cheek response showing someone to have missed the point is well known internet slang for 'I was only taking the piss and you fell for it'I think his original point had truth in it, and then you’ve said ‘not everything is racist’ and got a bit angry about something which you more than likely don’t appreciate the nuances of. 5 black players all called ‘difficult’. True for a couple of them, but not the others. His response, which is a bit tongue-in-cheek, points that out.
I liked Davies - particularly good game against Stoke in the Cup. But he is League 1 level and so had to go. But it was perfomance rather than attitude that was the issue surely. He put up with being in and out of the teamDavies' Twitter game was top flight, his footballing game...not quite.
Absolutely. Defence is fine - probably one of the tightest in the Championship now they are all present and correct. It's goals we need badly. The two at Millwall both came off defenders. We need someone who will unsettle a good Championship defence enough to create chances., Who is Bobby Gould playing for these days?Yeah to be honest that position is concerning me more than any other at the moment.

Well the nuances are that black players are labelled negatively in ways white players aren’t, and ‘difficult’ is one. Was Junior Brown difficult, was Hiwula difficult? Not that I heard, and I don’t think there’s any solid evidence of that.I'm not angry at all, I'd also like you to explain the nuances I've missed.

Me tooI heard it's not happening.....
I've heard off you two that it's not happening. Was it never happening or was it happening and now isn't happening? What's happening?Me too
Limited budget means you can have players who can make a difference or 'cover' - but not both.Bit short on cover with Rose out though.
I completely aware of subconscious racism and how black footballers bear the brunt of it. There was none of it in the post about a list of players MR has binned off though.Well the nuances are that black players are labelled negatively in ways white players aren’t, and ‘difficult’ is one. Was Junior Brown difficult, was Hiwula difficult? Not that I heard, and I don’t think there’s any solid evidence of that.
I’m not saying the post was racist, or that the poster had any such intentions, but the point made highlighted that it was all black players, and i thought it was interesting whilst also being a tongue-in-cheek post.
I’ve been guilty of it loads in the past, calling black players ‘beasts’, meant in a positive manner, but then I wouldn’t say the same thing about a white player. I’d call a black player lazy quicker than I’d say a white player was lazy.
It’s subtle and nuanced but it exists.
Something this week looks likelyI've heard off you two that it's not happening. Was it never happening or was it happening and now isn't happening? What's happening?
Has it happened yet?I've heard off you two that it's not happening. Was it never happening or was it happening and now isn't happening? What's happening?

Just been thinking about the reason James would cease his loan at Barnsley to come to us. I am hoping that it is not part of a deal seeing Hamer move to Leicester!
Matty James?
Shame about Crowley, I’d just come round to the signing
Only if Cov only agree to letting him go on the proviso of James loanHe was there only until January. If Hamer was ever deemed good enough for Leicester they would just buy him, they don’t have to do favours for the selling club.
Only if Cov only agree to letting him go on the proviso of James loan
I hope soOr he’s a player who plays in a position we need who’s been on loan to a club in the same division who’s now available...
I hope so
