As I remember Godden was the sole striker in our L1 Title winning season, and scored goals in that role when we came up from the Championship. I would argue he is better in that role too. However, yes Vik was better as the lone frontman.I always thought Vik was better without Godden. Maybe there is a correlation?
Would you really spend that much on an intended impact sub?As I remember Godden was the sole striker in our L1 Title winning season, and scored goals in that role when we came up from the Championship. I would argue he is better in that role too. However, yes Vik was better as the lone frontman.
Once O'Hare and Alllen are back in the mix (by early October surely), I am sure Robins will move to a 5 man midfield. Got a feeling Simms will be the man, with Wright as the impact sub, as the season goes on

He scored 6 in 23 in our first season up as a lone striker, 2 of which were penalties.As I remember Godden was the sole striker in our L1 Title winning season, and scored goals in that role when we came up from the Championship.

Yes, but he wasn't the issue. We were leaking tons of goals, and it took the change to a more direct style to get us to safety (but Godden was injured by then).. 6 in 23, works out about 12/13 goals in the season and for a team fighting relegation that's not bad.He scored 6 in 23 in our first season up as a lone striker, 2 of which were penalties.

The last 3 seasons we have been working with a basement budget and got every bit of value out of it. At the moment it looks like we have done what Stoke tend to do but without a billionaire underwriter to fund another go at it next summer.Yes, but he wasn't the issue.

Looking on Wikipedia, he doesn't seem to come with any pedigree whatsoever so the fee seems very strange.I just can’t wrap my head around the fact we spent £7.7m on Wright.

Makes me think someone sneakily added an extra zero onto the contract before it was signed.I just can’t wrap my head around the fact we spent £7.7m on Wright.
Godden is too scorer in the division. How has that happened?
More like £7,700kI just can’t wrap my head around the fact we spent £7.7m on Wright.
Quick. Drop him.
I'd rather have signed David McGoldrick on a 1 year contract. Yes he's 35 but he scores everywhere he goes and he could help bring one or two others on. Can't believe he's at Notts County. Bet he didn't cost much.
All right, 5 million.Come on man
Probably the most worrying comment.Players all seem very quiet in the changing room and in their shells
Maybe we should have fucking signed one thenReally missing brave creative players in the middle
In our first season in this division Matty James essentially led by example and held a team meeting after a battering at QPR to sort things out. It surprises me if even McF is staying quiet but maybe he's too aware of his own poor recent form.Probably the most worrying comment.
Really disappointing for 2nd goal but Sakamoto isn't a defensive player
Just get the poor man in at attacking midfield, put Eccles as the RWB cover and move Allen or a free agent into defensive midfield.
O hare tantalizingly closeRobins on CWR:
Didn't start right, wanted to move the ball quickly
Weren't set right, weren't brave enough and too deep
5 of our players were pinned back by 3 of theirs
Could be doing with finishing chances
Feel disappointed by so many poor decisions made
Really disappointing for 2nd goal but Sakamoto isn't a defensive player
Not looking for excuses, will get better
Got to take defeats on the chin
Could have got back into it without suicidal defending
3 poor goals conceded
Looked a bit livelier at 3-2 after the changes
Got to dust ourselves down and go again
Need to make braver passes on the ball rather than passing it around the back going sideways
O'Hare tantalisingly close to returning
We will get better than that
Sheaf will be out minimum 6 weeks

Lots of things we can do better
Can’t say thatMaybe we should have fucking signed one then
Yet he didn’t start our most creative one ffsMaybe we should have fucking signed one then
Wish he didn't start Wright!!!!Robins on CWR:

Why pick out that goal in particular? Almost seems like he wanted to have a reason to mention Saka and give a reason as to why he won't play him.Robins on CWR:

That’s what I thought re saka, but what about their first goal terrible marking, we were lucky on a couple of occasions as the back three were terribleWhy pick out that goal in particular? Almost seems like he wanted to have a reason to mention Saka and give a reason as to why he won't play him.
Also, if he's not a defensive player, then MR must have signed him as an AM. Yet when given the chance hasn't used him there despite poor performances from others who continue to be picked. So why sign him and where exactly did you intend to play him?
That wasn't great, but he wasn't the only one involved in that goal.That’s what I thought re saka, but what about their first goal terrible marking, we were lucky on a couple of occasions as the back three were terrible
