    Summer transfer window 2024

    Yeah, he said nothing was close to being done on the day because agents pushing up wage demands etc. Guessing that doesn’t mean there weren’t efforts before

    Did anyone see Eccles

    So you saw him having an argument with the bench and just assumed/made up it was because he wanted to be subbed ?!! Bizarre take Ps he was running an overlap and winning corner four mins into injury time.

    No, he thought we played pretty well first half but was pissed off with second half performance. Said players werent tracking runners and working hard enough, but said it wasn’t as bad as when they beat us 3-0 when we didn’t lay a glove on them

    Id go as far to say Eccles was probably the best player on the pitch first half. Torp also decent. Midfield got overran in second and think that was as much Norwich’s tactical changes and other City players not doing their jobs

    I yeah, move the ball quicker, use the channels more and turn defenders one for BSB, keep one or two up from corners !!! Let’s play to our strengths

    They also add some grit and are a threat from pieces. Harsh on binks as he’s started season well but still think Thomas/Kitching is best partnership

    Just looked disjointed. Decent enough first half, Eccles and Torp both good but got totally overrun in the second and players didn’t seem to know their jobs. Norwich were quality second half, don’t know if they changed their formation but their press and passing went up another level.

    Summer transfer window 2024

    We were talking about Robins sticking around not king. He might sell us, who knows My point is that if Robins made the play offs once or twice and didn’t get promoted that doesn’t mean he’d be automatically sacked. I think the main things will be; are we sustainable ie king not having to blow...

    Summer transfer window 2024

    Don’t disagree. I’ve never been one to think we’re on for automatics etc. It’s a tough league to get out of, especially with parachute payment clubs. If we’re in the mix for the play offs I’ll be happy, then as you say, you need a bit of luck

    Summer transfer window 2024

    Id imagine it was an objective/goal/target not a contractual obligation. I think as long as we’re in the mix year on year and on a sustainable footing Robins will be fine People have very short memories. It wasn’t that long ago that a transfer window would consist of one of our few decent...

    Summer transfer window 2024

    I doubt very much doubt Bassette is at the expense of a CM. We have tried to buy at least two that we know of, probably more. Id imagine the bassette deal was because we’ve had our eye on him and had to move quick to stop someone else from buying him. First impressions, I’m glad we did If we...

    He’s was 3.5m upfront, scored 19 last season and by all accounts has had prem interest. You’re a tough man to please evo !

    Surely the only player who should get an assist for BTAs goal is their defender !

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    I’ve been saying for years we’ve needed a industrial strategy/workforce plan to ensure we have people trained in the right areas. In very simple terms, over the years we’ve had a flow of cheap available labour which meant there was little incentive for businesses to raise wages, invest in...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Looking at the stats households occupied by private rents peaked in 2017 and has dropped slightly since. The problem has been population growth (grown by 3m since 2017) and not enough houses being built. What’s happened though is due to the squeeze on available rental stock (as some landlords...

    Summer transfer window 2024

    Not sure about disgrace ! We’ve obviously been trying to get a CM in, shown by offers for Stamenic and Browne (probably been others) but as has been said 100 times before there’s various factors at play, some deals get done, some don’t, but it’s not for the want of trying by all accounts We’ve...

    Agreed. I don’t think you can get away with playing a 10 with three upfront in many games, just get overrun in midfield
