    Get that clown out of goal

    We’ve bigger issues than Wilson. We can’t afford to be experimenting with GK’s and at least Fadz and Wilson should know how to organise the back. I also think Wilson is a big character in the dressing room - dropping him will impact any togetherness we have.

    My concern with Robins

    I’m sure Robins has some faith in his back room staff but DK should also have some culpability. I’d imagine that DK signs the cheques (so to speak) in that he has the ability to veto any transfer. He’s given MR and his staff a bit of a free hand by the looks of things and they’ve behaved like...

    My concern with Robins

    Kitching Wright and Simms cost as much as the stadium. Probably. Stadium probably has more movement

    This is 100% accurate.

    My concern with Robins

    Wright is the biggest focus due to his fee. He looks hapless tbh. Not bed wetting, just honest.

    My concern with Robins

    Sometimes people make mistakes (I do but don’t tell my staff). The strength is to defend the people but not be afraid to make changes. Turning on people on public is not the key.

    My concern with Robins

    The last time a manager kept saying “we’ve got great players” was Mickey Adams. Robins sounds under pressure. Just saying.

    My concern with Robins

    Robins learned his trade under Fergie. Fergie always had a leader on the pitch, Roy Keane / Scholes etc. Robins had Doyle then Hamer etc. we improved with Kelly last season. We are one man short in the middle v

    I’d love to know what the deal was, but I do think it was some kind of debt swap.

    Transfer Rumour Haji Wright

    I hope he comes good. At least we got our money back with our last record signing (Bellamy) but can you see anyone coming in for Haji Wright?

    We need a Matty James style signing in Jan (either loan of perm)

    Robins, due to what he’s achieved, is safe. He needs a ******ing though for his hubris though. Where the f*** is the fighting spirit?

    Watching from my place in Spain with my WBA supporting brother in law. He says we’re good but without any threat up front. What can we say?

    I trust Mark Robins

    That MR has started picking on players in the press (MVE) worries me. Can’t remember the last time he did that.

    What Do We Need To Change?

    Wilson Back 3 Fadz Kitching Binks JWE JDS as WBS Sheaf and Lati DM’s with Lati holding back and Sheaf running forward Cal and Tats roaming but told to pull wide to link with WBS and drag defence to give space in middle. Simms up front (but tell him to get the sack of coal off his back and...

    Recruitment has been shocking

    I think MVE has done ok especially when playing alongside Allen. Allen, for his shortcomings, can run toward the flank and be on hand for a give-and-go. MVE often has to check back because there’s no one there to offset to. Simms is also culpable, he needs to get wide quickly and pull the...

    Recruitment has been shocking

    In defence of the recruitment policy (ducks for cover) we didn’t know until later than most other teams which division we’d be in. I think MR alluded to “two lists” and by the time we knew we’d be shopping for the Champ and losing our best players (probably) many of the players on the list might...
