So we are going into the season with just Simms upfront then?
Who was the striker
you havent said mateYeah it’s disappointing if that’s it, not because of the excitement factor of signing someone but because I don’t think we’re a complete squad yet. If players like Simms or Sheaf or MVE or Bidwell or Eccles get injured for any serious length of time then we’ll be massively down in terms of quality.

i find it hard to believe we were willing to part with £4m+ on Stamenic and now just because that hasn't happened we aren't gonna get a CM at all
Our business isn’t done. When was the last time we concluded our business in July ?

So the backup plan is not to bother? Seems unlikely mate.due to slow starts in previous seasons robins wanted all players in to give them a proper pre season. past couple of years we’ve signed players late and took team to gel
he wanted to mitigate that this season
Id suggest we do have an urgency upfront if Simms gets injured then Obikwu is the backup unless we put Wright in the middleright player needs to be available. Players were targeted long back. we can’t just bring a like for like player in who is not available within our budget.
we don’t have an urgency. be a luxury now
So Robins spent all of last season moaning about how small the squad was but is now happy to go into this season with the same sized squad? Ok
hence why the loan market might be utilised. If no players are available then it’s hard to find the right player who would be back upId suggest we do have an urgency upfront if Simms gets injured then Obikwu is the backup unless we put Wright in the middle
Don't buy that.It’s not that. It’s more that robins is happy with the squad. loan or 2 for cover.
nothing to do with water tight

‘The gaffer’…the gaffer wanted all his business done before this weekend. the striker we wanted didnt materialise. I would guess a loan as cover. I dont envisage much more to happen unless Hamer or Vik goes
I think it would be highly unlikely that we would have only had one target for a position. I have seen it quoted that we usually have plans A, B and C
So the gaffa has failed spectacularly then in getting signings he had hoped for.and if plan a and b doesn’t materialise and c has signed for another team what happens then? other teams will have players targeted similar or same as us. not hard to grasp
He should walk for this catastrophic failure. Season over in JulySo the gaffa has failed spectacularly then in getting signings he had hoped for.
Reminds me of Mowbray the season we got relegated from League 1.
no doubt bullshit form you as perIt’s not that. It’s more that robins is happy with the squad. loan or 2 for cover.

If that's the situation then we can understand that but its still disappointing for fans not to see or hear of any action other than an outgoing striker with no replacement and other supposed targets signing elsewhere whilst the window gradually ticks awayand if plan a and b doesn’t materialise and c has signed for another team what happens then? other teams will have players targeted similar or same as us. not hard to grasp
Guys relax. a) GIMOC b) if Simms gets injured we have to play our record signing in his preferred position with EMC and Sakamoto either side of him. Everyone is writing off Fabio bizarrely because he scored against Maidstone or because turning the game against Man U proves he needs to leave or something...Id suggest we do have an urgency upfront if Simms gets injured then Obikwu is the backup unless we put Wright in the middle
Its just GIMOC dropping a bomb based on nothing knowing that it'll send a select few into a frenzy. I'm convinced he's trolling at this point and fair play because its working.Some of the panic in the last page or two is grim. We've spent pushing £40m on players, improved the squad, sorted the training ground, sold 22k season tickets and people have resorted to '...but what if?'. jfc
