The free transfer market looks particularly strong this summer. Be interesting to see if we can pick any of them up. Just think the parachute teams will be able to offer a superior wage package.

The Bidwell situation is similar to the Jack Grimmer one back in League One. A fans favourite and solid player for the division being replaced as Robins wants somebody better on the ball to progress the team. If we sign a LB as good as MvE we'll have all forgotten about Bidwell by September.

Think he’ll be useful while we’re in the Championship as an impact substitute - if we’re chasing a game at LB or if we’re seeing it out at LM. For a free transfer to bulk out the squad (especially while our academy isn’t up to standard) it isn’t the worst outcome. Can’t see him starting many...

Sheaf is rated by WhoScored as the 3rd best central midfielder in the division this season - for those calling him average. There is no doubt that he will be a massive loss. But our midfield needs a massive revamp anyway. No offence to these players but Kelly has played 15 league games (5 more...

Think we're going to go big with midfield signings this summer. Last summer we focused on replacing Gyok and rebuilding the defence that only had 2 players (Fadz & Bidwell) and neglected midfield. With Kelly, Allen, Sheaf & O'Hare leaving we have a great opportunity to rebuild a stale part of...

Lati & JDS are not going any where and nor should they. I think they are both good enough to use as utility players to cover multiple positions. People moan about squad depth then want to clear out players who haven't even been here for 12 months like there is no chance they will improve.

I know our form has dropped off a cliff but some of the doom and gloom on here is ridiculous. This season we've signed players who are now top 6 quality (Simms, Saka, Wright, MvE) or have the potential to (Thomas, Kitching, Collins, Torp). Sheaf will probably leave - but if we have a similar...

There are 3 types of loan signings to my mind: 1. Top quality premier league player with little experience (Ostigard/Maatsen/BNC) - There is an expectation to play these players and you have little chance of signing them after their loan has finished, but not unheard of (Gyok) 2. Loan with a...

Can't help but get excited with EMC when I watch P'boro highlights. Think he looks Championship ready. Head says look at all the players who look great in League 1 and take time to/fail to adjust to the Championship (BT/LK prime examples). Heart says he's going to do a Whittaker and storm the...

We know what league we're in a full month earlier than last year - surely will help the recruitment team hone in on targets. All focus now turns to building towards next year. Need a new coach & 5-10 new players. Next season really could be the best yet.

People are acting like it's impossible for us to sell Sheaf and get better next season. Brentford lost Watkins & Benrahma and then went up - it is about using the funds and going again.

Wanted to Leeds to go up to give us a better chance of autos next year. They'll have another 90 point season next year. Championship will be just as strong next year if West Brom or Norwich manage to win the play offs.

The O'hare saga will mean Doug won't want any more key players reaching their last year. I think Sheaf will move on. If Gyok goes too we'll have a very nice transfer purse. I actually think one of the priorities should be another first choice winger. There is a growing trend of teams rotating...

More game time doesn’t always equal quicker progress. Time on the training ground out of the limelight can be more important. For the same reason, Biamou kept Gyok out of the team during his loan spell.

The exciting thing about both Simms & Wright is I think they’ll keep getting better. We’re gonna have two absolute monsters in our forward line from the start next season.
