With Huddersfield now relegated, might be worth a proper look at Rudoni

Think he’d be perfect for us, said it for a while now. Robins and Adi would take him to the next level.

I’m not convinced by him but he’s got time.

Im as frustrated as anyone but some of the comments on here are way OTT

Just played 3.5 games in 6 days, players ran themselves into the ground trying and in my view beating, one of the biggest clubs in the world a few days ago, players dropping like flies and all some can do is give the team/players a kicking after getting an away draw playing with 10 men for 30 mins against a team fighting for their lives ?!

When did we become such an entitled fanbase ? Leeds lost 4-0 against QPR, West Brom 3-0 v Sheff Weds, Southampton lost to Cardiff and Stoke recently, Leicester lost to both Plymouth and Milwall in the last week or two and there’s been loads of other examples of end of seasons shocks/poor results*. And that’s clubs who haven’t had to play 120+mins at Wembley against a Prem team and some much bigger more expensive squads. Anyone can beat anyone in this league if you’re not 100% fit and on it

*Man Utd who were apparently fine after the semi final drawing at home against the mighty Burnley ?!

Agree. It was a largely meaningless match to us and meant far more to them than us.

He's looked one of the better players in an other wise shit side for 2 seasons now. One to be looked at more closely anyway

 

[mark82]

Was it any more of a foul than the one on Wright we were all surprised wasn‘t given. Methinks not.

I've not seen it, but if it's soft would be worth appealing. Ban will go into next season I think (will be 3 games).

 

[Mucca Mad Boys]

Without Sheaf today, our midfield looked hopeless.

The highlight of the game was the McFadz send off. It was really nice and you could see that it touched McFadz! Well deserved!

And Thomas

It's what he should have had in the cup replay before he went, fully deserved indeed.

It isn't, they'd only rescind if it were also not a bookable offence

 

[wingy]

I think it's a bit of a crucial season for Robins and co next season because of we don't at least end up in a play off place I wonder how Doug King will react.

Cooled his opinion I think is what I Heard in hinterview!

 

[WestEndAgro]

can only recall one touch from Jamie Allan, can someone please confirm this wasn't the case.

 

[Jamesimus]

Who is Bobert?

Bobby T

 

[wingy]

Kelly nearly scored a blinder!

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Martin Winch really does ask the most ridiculous questions

One more than Godden. One less than Bidwell.

Also Torp out as well. Takes all creativity out

 

[bigfatronssba]

All that has happened today is confirmed what we’ve known for a few weeks. I’m not sure I understand the overreaction.

In isolation getting a draw when down to 10 men is usually considered decent anyway.

We’ve been saying for 11 months that 24-25 is our time to shine.

We’ve got a young team, on long contracts. Yes some are gaff prone (just like Hamer was), but that will be coached out of them.

Next season we’ll start settled with increased depth.

Also, remember where we’ve come from

Not listening. What did he ask?

This is true, but I think the performances have been unconvincing for months rather than weeks.

 

[Deleted member 9744]

There isn’t really any excuse for the current squad being play off capable (other than a bit more depth)

Well that's the excuse!

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Not listening. What did he ask?

Asking Kelly:

'Are you the type of player who twiddles his thumbs when he's on the sidelines?'
'What does the future hold for Liam Kelly?'

 

[2024/25 League 1 Champs?]

So stats only matter if they support your view?

no, realistically you can find a good or a bad stat about anything

individual player stats don’t tend to lie, and that’s probably the only real metric of a player’s performance, game by game and throughout the season, but if you can’t see how good the player is by watching him this season you’re either not going to enough games or don’t understand football….

There are some people here who will argue black is white, there literally is no point sometimes is there

Why would he ask Liam Kelly about Liam Kelly when he's talking to Liam Kelly.


I find "you" so much easier.

[Ccfcisparks]

Rudoni and the 2 Asian lads from brum please

 

[stevefloyd]

I think it was apparent that we should have sent Kitching somewhere else and kept Fadz

 

[steve101]

You have to question Robins' use of subs when considering fatigue. Kelly has hardly had a kick and then expected to play two back to back 90 minutes of football. There have been numerous opportunities to take players off to give them a breather and he hasn't. Inexperienced young players may not be at the level but youth and exuberance goes a long way and may reduce fatigue-driven injuries and lethargic performances.

What Fadz who couldn’t get Blackburn keeping clean sheets or wins and then got dropped

Was told today its a done deal.
Could be absolute bollocks but that's what I was told

You don't post shit rumours for the sake of it tbf. I'm willing to believe it.

He's always done this. Highly frustrating

I'm sceptical.
But if I keep trying to play it down I'm in the weird position of calling out a rumour I started so I'll leave it there!
