The feeling for me is we’ve made our usual list of summer targets then when push came to shove not had enough cash to bring more than one or two in and now we’re scrabbling around trying to find anyone to fill the glaring holes in the squad.

Who’s fault that is depends on what was said behind the scenes but I seriously doubt Robins is dumb enough to make a list of targets that are obviously out of our reach.

We don’t know do we the time to reflect and comment is September 1st. when the window has shut, i reckon there will be a bit of a mad splurge throughout the leagues that final few days of the window.

We don't have world class midfielders and attackers playing in front of two old centre backs who rarely got as far as the halfway line either.

I don't think you watched the Euros lol, they spent the entire final in England's half. Again it's all relative, pace isnt a necessity when its comes to being a good CB.

Expierence is as important because that allows you to make up for pace.cranie would be important for back up if nothing else.

We don't need back up defenders, we already have an army of them. That's the problem for me at least.

 

[CDK]

Surely competition keeps all CBs playing for those positions.

We do have the numbers, but we are still lacking the quality.

Oh that game where England totally surrendered possession and sat so deep with a press that could not extract the juice from an Orange?

 

[cc84cov]

Where is he then ?

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Where is he then ?

Probably at home

 

[cc84cov]

Probably at home

Yeah but where ? @better days

 

[COVKIDSNEVERQUIT]

Where is he then ?

Says on tweeter, club will make a decisions in the next 2 weeks.

 

[skyblueeyesrevisited]

The clock is ticking

 

[Gint11]

Im not against this move. We’ve got young, fast and exciting player. What we missed overall was championship savvy, calm heads to get the balance right with the youngster. Maybe a cranie type of player helps with that.

 

[covcity4life]

Sounds like we will play on front foot this season sonshoukd be exciting

Notbthat friendlies have showed that mind you

It’s a yes from me to what ever this means

Do the club know we play Forest next week ?

 

[better days]

Yeah but where ? @better days

He's been with us
But don't know what the plans are

 

[Terry_dactyl]

Do the club know we play Forest next week ?

I’m really excited about it!!!!

 

[cc84cov]

I’m really excited about it!!!!

I’m not we are about to replace Osti with Craine & James with sheaf

 

[clint van damme]

You inventing things I’ve said to try and have something to have a go at again?

Yeah, imagine doing that?

You’re right. We’re better than Brentford

 

[COVKIDSNEVERQUIT]

Do the club know we play Forest next week ?

Probably waiting to see how he gets on against Wolves.

 

[shmmeee]

Yeah, imagine doing that?

Read the context. It was a reply to a post saying we needed to improve our squad and he replied by saying we didn’t because we beat these teams.

 

[KersleyDigs]

IF Rose and/or Hyam are fit for start of the season, then we will be ok. We have wide options this season in Bright and Jones, so could start with a back 4 if we have absolutely screwed up our recruitment

 

[cc84cov]

IF Rose and/or Hyam are both for for start of the season, then we will be ok. We have wide options this season in Bright and Jones.

A massive part of staying up was down to James and osti they haven’t been replaced

 

[Tea & Busquets]

I’m confident we’re gonna sign an Osti replacement in the coming days. Midfield is a bigger issue.

Thanks for quoting before I had the chance to go back and amend all my typos etc Haha

 

[clint van damme]

These are big concerns but we've also improved the attack and have a years Championship experience under out belts.

And James was a January signing, I'd imagine we'll do some business in the coming January.

 

[baldy]

You‘d think James was god himself the way some posters are crying over him ‘not being replaced’….such an overreaction

 

[skybluereeve]

That I really agree with. I’m sure we will be ok but we are weaker in those two positions.

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

James isn’t God, however he’s a better player than anyone we had at the club last year and this year

 

[cc84cov]

Clearly didn’t watch us last season


I await the “I’ve gotta season ticket” post

 

[skybluereeve]

It’s not rocket seconds is it? He was a good all round player and we don’t have him now. Hence weaker all day long in that position. Hopefully we get someone but a massive loss in my eyes.

What was the reaction when we signed him? Universal approval or did he get "the treatment"?

Matty James

Class act this for me is our best central midfield pairing...superb business by robins & the club to get him in💯👏🏻

Flatter to Deceive

Is it just me or is Matty James distinctly underwhelming?
