Maybe he thought there was enough there to work on and with the coaching set-up changes he could improve significantly.
Hasn't work out like that so far, though.
Maybe he thought there was enough there to work on and with the coaching set-up changes he could improve significantly.If Robins knew the defensive players weren't good enough, why did he re-sign Binks?
Which clangers has he made? He's started 8 games, kept 3 cleansheets and won 4, drew 2 and lost 2 when he's started. Couldn't do a lot with the 3 goals Leeds scored, yeah a poor head for Sheffield Wednesdays first, couldn't do anything about the Luton goals, and couldn't do anything with Sunderland goals.Kitching had a few chances this season and messed up so was dropped. His clangers tend to be bad ones.
But Binks is poor so whatever give him another go. Hardly an embarrassment of riches.
Getting fullbacks to stop balls being pulled back into the box would be helpful to the centre backs, very hard to defend ...
He hasn't personally done any of those things buddy.Which clangers has he made? He's started 8 games, kept 3 cleansheets and won 4, drew 2 and lost 2 when he's started.

Been trying to think of a defender we could bring in with experience and he would be fit the bill. Hasn’t played a lot last couple of years but he’s a leader. Not long ago he was in the England squad.Conor coady on loan?
He was in that clubbing video with the Leicester players so I wouldn't want himConor coady on loan?
Primark leaguesYou would expect us to have 20mill+ to spend again in the summer. MVE, Wright, Sheaf will all leave at the minimum imo and you then have the likes of Eccles, Simms and Bassette that others may take a punt on. Gyokeres sell on too. Just hope we've learnt our lesson and stop signing players from no mark leagues.
The only players that I see surplus are JDS, Lati, Jamie Allen and one GK (probably Wilson due to age and contract expiration date) The rest have squad potential but not necessarily first team material
That's what happens when big money (by our standards) gets paid for some. They potentially turn into overnight prima donasThe attitude of half of them alone means they need getting shot of tbh

Why do we think our signing policy will suddenly change to allow us to sign more experienced and expensive players even if only on a loan?
Definitely need to back the new man but I wonder how they approach the remainder of the season, as the initial target of playoffs/promotion is written off? Is it worth spending millions on temporary fixes in January or working towards the following season?It’s Doug’s man now. If he fucks up it’s Doug’s fuck up. More skin in the game.

Makes sense if we are sticking with the back 3 but wouldn’t so assured in a 2 if our fullbacks are pushed upConor coady on loan?
Conor coady on loan?
Yeah £75k PWHe's on a mammoth salary at Leicester. We'd struggle to cover 25% of his weekly wage.
because we need better and he's not itWhy is Kitching getting so much grief, he's barely played this season
Work towards next season but hope for a late charge to the play offsDefinitely need to back the new man but I wonder how they approach the remainder of the season, as the initial target of playoffs/promotion is written off?

Binks is the only defender that can actually pass a ball.Transfer list:
Binks
Kitching
Dasilva
Brandon Thomas Asante
I want out but wll keep:
Bidwell - back up left back
Thomas back up centre back
Joel Lat- can play 2 position keep as back up.
Torp - give him this season make or break.
Simms - same again.
Third time lucky? Think Giles and CCFC has been and gone. Do not think he would want to come back and do not think we would particularly want him as we already have a diminutive lwb who is not a great defender on the books......admittedly Giles is a better attacking choice than JDSHeard it mentioned on the cov podcast as a suggestion but would we take Ryan Giles atm from Hull.
Young player who definitely fits in the Lampard model for his full backs, can put in a great cross (Lampard Chelsea had the highest number of crosses). Will say I don’t know how much he would cost tho and if he starts to get game time probably wouldn’t happen?
Yeah I get the defensive concerns but wonder if the attacking is worth it considering at Boro he had the highest assists playing left back.Third time lucky? Think Giles and CCFC has been and gone.

I suppose if that is a trade off, currently we have a diminutive LWB that does not offer defensive stability and does not offer attack threat either. Would have liked Burroughs before he went Sheff U or someone like pickeringYeah I get the defensive concerns but wonder if the attacking is worth it considering at Boro he had the highest assists playing left back.
Would of loved Burroughs, think another target could be Harvey Vale from Chelsea.I suppose if that is a trade off, currently we have a diminutive LWB that does not offer defensive stability and does not offer attack threat either.

Definitely a position we need to strengthen tbh
Might be more of a good prospect but did decently ok at Bristol, good age for us to develop. Much more of an attacking player with some good pace.Is Vale any good? Almost went to the Saudi league and has been told to find a new club with no luck, didn’t do well at Hull a couple of years ago but did OK in L1 last season. Not seen him play, but wiki says he’s more of an attacking player too.
Oh also out of contract so maybe we could loan him with an agreement if it goes well to sign himMight be more of a good prospect but did decently ok at Bristol, good age for us to develop. Much more of an attacking player with some good pace.
Got some more physicality to him than Jay. If I was in charge a loan to buy could be a good option to see how he would adapt to life in the championship considering Bidwell is out of contract
Surely there are better options, if you're brining him in on loan with the view to develop, he's likely going to be second choice behind JDS. We need someone to come in and improve us as first choice.Might be more of a good prospect but did decently ok at Bristol, good age for us to develop.
