It’s trickle down, isn’t it? Championship teams know Prem teams have money from their own player sales and TV revenue. So we will demand 10s of millions of pounds - plenty of Championship players have proven they can make the grade too. Likewise, plenty of good players have come from League 1...

Give it another a season and we’ll see how this pans out. MR and his team have the long term in mind, not the here and now.

Even a broken clock is right twice a day…

If anyone cared to look at individual stats, Johansson plays the exact opposite to how we want a GK to play. His distribution is ‘hoof ball’ (in short). In part, that will be in part tactical to how Rotherham play but he’s unlikely to be a GK we’re interested in. The next GK we sign will be...

Did we pay £4.5m upfront or is there a lot of performance incentives in there? More than likely, it’s the latter and if he meets those performance incentives, he’s probably been a good signing. We got incentives and sell-ons for Bayliss and because he did nothing there we ended up getting a lot...

Kitching started more often than Binks for a reason… Binks had a few good cameos and looks tidier on the ball, but a better defender right now? Unlikely.

Did McNally play in a 4-2-3-1 and be expected to play out from the back for us? No. Burnley did not want to sell to us for a reasonable price, apparently they wanted a lot more than £4m. My mate who’s a Stoke supporter didn’t rate him highly. He’s obviously not become a bad player and he was a...

Without doubting your inside knowledge, Robins having £20+ million to spend last season is hardly a cause to panic. The squad was short last season, undoubtedly. However, he was given record sums to spend to bring in quality players. Honestly, last season I doubt a few loans would’ve made the...

That was true last season, we don’t know what’s changed and we know Prem loans don’t come until late in the summer window. It just seems people have latched onto his comments about the medical team & performance director. In reality, he gave a politicians answer where he avoided the subject of...

He never said anything of the sought that he doesn’t want to operate a squad big enough. He specifically said ‘no comment’ to the size because, presumably, that’s delegated to MR. He just spoke about the changes he made. If anything, I’d say he’s guilty of pumping up his own actions since he’s...

Still spent £7m and the club believed EMC was coming in Jan. There’s such a thing as FFP clubs have to adhere to so the club can’t just spend whatever it wants even if Doug King was an oil tycoon. We’ve committed all the transfer money from Hamer and Vik hence we’re dependent on both their...

It’s a factor in not only preventing injuries but keeping the players fresher or even getting them back sooner. Again, the point is more people think you can chuck numbers (players) at the problem when perhaps there’s solutions elsewhere. Even if you have a big squad, you don’t want to be...

Weren’t people complaining about the medical staff when we kept getting ACL injuries? Improving your infrastructure and medical provision can only be viewed as a positive. Unless he said ‘we’re not signing any more players’, then you can worry. MR has said that he wants and needs more players...

Fair enough, he can do what he wants. Personally, I don’t think he’s getting guaranteed football at any Prem or even top Championship teams (relegated teams + Southampton, Leeds or even Norwich). We’ll see where he ends up and if he does a dramatic U-turn it’s also a sign his offers aren’t all...

It could be a good move to put himself in the shop window if no Prem interest materialises. I’m over it to be honest, if he doesn’t re-sign, there’s an opportunity to get another player in. Someone like Rudoni will probably be a better player than COH is when he’s 26.

I celebrated pretty hard against Wolves for the winner… However, nothing came as close to the pandemonium of Torp’s disallowed goal!

At 23, Sam McCallum has far more upside than Bidwell and in most categories is ahead of him statistically. There’s an odd obsession with Bidwell from our fans. He’s a solid player but it’s a position we can improve on. At this point in his career, Bidwell deserves to start for someone so if...

I just can’t see Robins leaving us for anyone at this point, even if Man U offered him a pop at the poisoned chalice! 😂

Good point, McCallum and Browne would make strong free agent signings. As for Dolan and Rudoni, I’d like to know potential fees involved for them and are they our ‘top targets’. Exciting times!
