I wouldn't describe not signing a 32 year old former prisoner who has scored 3 in 13 as 'shocking'

Not yet, but the way we’re playing it’s not going to be long. We’ve got 9 games to turn our season around. At the moment we’re sinking without a trace

there’s no fight in the team, and the manager is happy playing a plank up front who struggles to score in a brothel

We picked up a point yesterday whilst Birmingham and Derby didn’t, not exactly sinking

Missed opportunity on a free, a player that actually knows where the goal is

Barnsley at the moment are a better proposition than us. We can’t just click our fingers and sign players at the drop of a hat.

Don't think we are sinking without a trace. We are 5th from bottom. Yes, we haven't won in 3, but won the game before that. A win, a draw and a defeat from the last 3 matches. I hardly call that sinking.

If we had taken half our chances in the last two games we would have had at least 4 more points. You have to remember Godden should be back now too.


The chances have been falling to Biamou, who is no goalscorer by any stretch of the imagination.

And the manager keeps inexplicably playing him

Yup and Brum's next two games are against Swansea and Brentford, while ours are QPR and Bristol.

I know which fixtures I would prefer

Because Walker and Godden aren't match fit.

Walker has clearly looked like he is struggling.

I didn’t realise that was the case I just thought it was a loan. Still, there were options available in January better than Gyokeres and James right?

So why are they on the bench? He might as well put Tavares on the bench if they’re not fit.

Godden could have played in the U23s he chose not to, we could be giving Walker a run out if he’s not match fit

Pissed it up the wall signing Reid, Tavares, paying James 10k a week and whatever we’re paying Gyokeres. I’d imagine there’s loan fees involved aswell

we also had the disastrous return of McCallum

Possibly, would the parent club/player themselves want to come here or would we even be able to afford them though?

Evans and Adebayo both have scored more and are miles better than Biamou come on.

Also what’s with the insults? ‘Thick as fuck’ ‘moron’ ‘fucking idiot’ just because I disagree that Robins could have done better in January? Calm down pal, have a rest

It’s what Barnsley were paying him, and the reports were that we outbid them. Of course if you think Leicester are doing us a favour and letting him have him cheaper then fair play

Biamou is meant to be a back up, he’s shit. I acknowledge that he’s shit. We don’t know what other players we tried to sign in January, for me Gyo wasn’t our first choice signing and has been a disaster . Robins ain’t perfect but people suggesting we sack him need to get a grip of our limitations as a club

January was a disaster. You think we are paying James less than I do. You think our signings were the best we could do, I don’t.

No need for the insults mate it’s not good for you. You wouldn’t talk like that to people in real life would ya

Outbid them? I saw Barnsley sent him back to focus on their own younger players. I could imagine Leicester taking what they can get until his contract was up, can’t imagine us paying 10k on a loan though

why not? It’s roughly 160k for the rest season. It’s one game on TV.
