It's easy to underestimate the effect of how a manager sells a club to a player
Robins is pretty good and has a decent reputation but of all young British managers Danny Cowley is seen as the rising star
It's easy to underestimate the effect of how a manager sells a club to a playerCould understand why he would want to go to Lincoln, especially if Grant has signed for them who he would have grown up with at Forest.
My sentiments exactlyPretty disappointing that we're going into the season far weaker in an attacking sense than we did last season, it doesn't bode well at all. Selling two strikers both relatively proven at this level to replace them with nobody is piss poor, yes we might get somebody but I can't help thinking it will end up being a punt on a loanee.
I think it was Panda saying he was going to Lincoln last night that has started the meltdown
He must have plansNot to mention Clark Harris.

You are either about 13 or have some kind of mania issueSisu saying they are covering the losses yet aren’t willing to give robins any of the Chaplin money to re invest.... shit owners! Watch us sell Bayliss too
Lincoln beating us to a signing, fucking hell how embarrassing

Fair enough probably not in an attacking sense as a whole but at centre forward we've gone fromWhat? How are we going into this season weaker than when we went into last season?
Last season the attackers on the first day were:
- Biamou- Still here
- Andreu- Think we all agree was pretty crap
- Hiwula- Who is a much better player than when he first came?
- Clarke-Harris- who had 1 good game in 5 for us?
-Ponti- Who then spent the rest of the season injured or in the u23's
This season
Biamou
Jobello- Has to be an improvement on Bayliss at RM?
Krastaneer (probably got that wrong)- A possible improvement? We don't know
Hiwula- As i said a much better player than when he first came.
Baka- better than ponticelli, probably not an improvement on Clarke-harris though?
Wouldn't say we are weaker than last season? Just wouldn't say we are better. Probably about the same as it stands.

I don’t think fairness comes into it. Once you put our future in the hands of third parties all bets are off.
I'm not sure why you've lumped wingers in?
OK - we're struggling to break down Southend on Saturday, let's have a look to our options on the bench......
Fair enough probably not in an attacking sense as a whole but at centre forward we've gone from
Baka
Biamou
Chaplin
JCH
To
Baka
Biamou
Add that Biamou is coming back from an ACL and it's negligent to be this close to the season with no other options.
Yeah that's fair, Chaplin didn't come until the end of august either. Sort of makes my point though that successive seasons we've started without enough options up front. This is an area we struggled in last year too.To be fair I only had JCH and Biamou at the start of last season. Baka didn't sign until after the Scunthorpe game from memory?
If we still only have the current options come end of August then i will worry.

We've got 6 games before the end of the month, 18 points available, we could be kicking ourselves if we have a slow start because we can't put the ball in the net. Again!
It's just a shame, we put so much good work into recruitment and getting players over the line early then we don't sort a striker until the last minute and it has the potential to undo all the hard work.I agree, it is a shame but to be honest it will always be the way. As everything seems to happen last minute for strikers as a chain needs to be set off! I fully expect one to sign within the next 2 weeks to be honest. I like you will be very disappointed if we wait until the last second again!
Not to mention Clark Harris.

I'm not sure about this 'striker move later' concept either, is there anything to back that up or is it just the way we appear to work?
Trust you!Trust in baka. Trust in hiwula. Trust in max.
