Wtf are you on about?
Wtf are you on about?We scored 2 from open play in 6 games so let's bin off Gyo
I liked Hyam but it doesn't mean a lot that he is part of a team that were top for a few hours, having played 2 games more than other teams around them. Max Biamou was part of a League 1 winning team in 2019/20.We win a game and are off the bottom of the table and we are gloating about a player who was part of a side top of the league before tonight’s games
Dom Hyam is and was a massive part of our success in recent seasons and we are now suddenly better off without him while we are sitting 23rd in the league

Napoli must be feeling a bit silly that they spent 10 million quid on Leo Ostigard when they could have just signed the apparently superior Michael Rose for a fraction of that.

They paid nowhere near £10m - the Italian press quoted €5m with a couple of million in add ons, which I doubt will ever get paid.Napoli must be feeling a bit silly that they spent 10 million quid on Leo Ostigard when they could have just signed the apparently superior Michael Rose for a fraction of that.
Some of the hyam haters are bed wetters tho. Tlaking about relegation and how we shudnt expect any wins moving forwardsI don't think anyone's gloating, we are just pointing out to the bed wetters that it's not the end of the world.
Can you imagine how they would react if MR was to leave.
Think everyone needed one of the three to be sold such a shame no one could meet our valuations.We look more solid defensively than we ever have, we aren’t a club with a bottomless pit of cash, we have 4 very very capable centre halves.
I honestly think the squad we have today (addition of palmer, panzo and Doyle, bidwell looking a very solid option at LB and with Josh Eccles development) that we actually have a stronger squad today than we did with hyam
Struggle to understand the fans who berate the owners over ‘a lack of investment’ when we held onto our big 3, absolutely nobody thought that Gus, Cal and Gyok would all be here this season, yet here we are. The investment in the summer was holding onto these guys.

Not sure they met our valuation. They may have done. He’s also not a Burnley player is he?Well somebody clearly did and then the player back heeled himself to the sidelines

I just can’t get my head around the conversations I have with the seeming lack of investment and interest in pursuing a decent championship team going forward

The point being if you can rely on your defenders, you can take more chances in attack.
It also partly explains why our defensive record whenever Wilson is in goal is good - we retreat more to protect him.
I'm comparing now to the last third of our first season in this division. Robins has done exactly the same in both - been pragmatic, recognised results are more important than style and, when confidence is maybe down and creativity not what it should be, has focussed first in setting up to be hard to beat, and hope to grind out results.You could say that about any goalkeeper in a team that keeps clean sheets. Because that is what well organised defences do. They retreat to protect the goalkeeper. Clean sheets are the foundation of any good team.
In modern football 10 players defend and 10 players attack.
Wilson has made some good saves this season and has on the whole dealt with situations in a positive manner.
I dont think Wilson's 'percieved' vulnerability is the reason for our improved defence at all. It is more a case of reseting and going back to basics.. Some basics that had started to drift in the later part of last season when Wilson wasnt in the team.
Of course it was desperation, we had no gate receipts, and we had no alternative to pick up the bill for the pitch repairs.He isn’t because he tore his hamstring on the eve of the sale. People miss here the issue is less that it was Hyam who got sold but the way it was done along with the timing.
I’m yet to be convinced it wasn’t out of desperation for short term funds.

My guess is that Sisu were desperate for income and took whatever they could get for Hyam, as he was probably the easiest and cheapest to replace. (Before the work permit fiasco scuppered his replacement)
In terms of results, we havnt missed him at all, in fact we've never been as solid as we are now. But there's no doubt we need cover ASAP.
I doubt the current global financial situation will permit a Hedge fund like sisu to piss money away on a football club.Most other clubs would see their owner providing stop gap finance to be recovered when the postponed matches were eventually held. Our owner provided nothing and led to us flogging someone off on the cheap near the end of the window.
Yep completely opposite to what Dave Boddy said at the supporters forumHe isn’t because he tore his hamstring on the eve of the sale. People miss here the issue is less that it was Hyam who got sold but the way it was done along with the timing.

Not a sisu decision allegedly or a robins one. Make of that what you willOf course it was desperation, we had no gate receipts, and we had no alternative to pick up the bill for the pitch repairs.

Well I don't believe MR was happy about the sale, so that only leaves Sisu.Not a sisu decision allegedly or a robins one. Make of that what you will

Both employees of sisu? (Either directly or indirectly) and both restricted by the amount of funds generated by the club, OR invested by sisu.Tim Fisher

What our fans fail to appreciate is that Hedge funds are currently looking to off load liabilities (like football clubs) rather than invest further in loss making businesses.
We hear that sisu arnt looking to sell, but my guess is that if a reasonable offer came in, they'd bight the buyers hand off.
There won't be a chance to pay back any short term loans later, as MR will want to bring in defensive cover in January, and the squad will need to be completely overhauled at the end of the season.
It's a private equity fund that took us overThey've been here 15 years. That in itself is extremely odd for a hedge fund usually looking for a quick buck
