It's impossible to have a reasonable nuanced conversation on here. Every opinion expressed is: 1 (deliberately?) twisted : so 'I don't think Wright is value for money and I would cash in and reinvest' becomes i think he's shit 2 nit picked to death 3 used for point scoring 4 immediately...

Oh bugger, I knew that wasn't right but couldn't think of the right words. Putting my error aside, you haven't disagreed with the point. Do we have common ground at least on the principle?

OK, so we disagree on potential. It's an unknown. Let's let it lie. Kids, better debating strategies exist than this.

Nuance is important <serious but kind face emoji> Nobody is suggesting we can buy a player ready for the Premier league. We are buying young players. Good young players who can improve. We are paying millions for each one now to play in the Championship (widely accepted as one of the top 10...

Yes, but being aware of the challenge coming in probably hurried him to get the ball away.

I got the impression that we are building a side which would not need major surgery to have a chance of staying up if promoted. It's not a daft point to speculate that Wright wouldn't be up to it.

That's the spent cost fallacy. I hope Robins is better than that: ie fields the best player irrespective of what they cost. It's fine to make a mistake, I admire the strength of character to recognise a mistake and put it right. Let's agree that we both hope he proves me wrong. But I've...

Because I don't think he's good enough. Nobody's suggested selling him at a loss, other than you projecting that onto me so you can call me 'delusional' (quite rude but I forgive you). I'd take getting our money back, though we might make a small profit.

I said that I assume the new guy is the real deal, I don't know that. But yes, as I've already explained in another thread, I'd sell Wright and get a better striker to replace both him and Simms.

Yep, last week I had the same opinion. But we are now well over half way through the season and I flipped yesterday. Wright > Simms > Godden but have given up now with all three.

The z thing? I think it's autocorrect, annoys the hell out of me.

We nearly have a very good first 11 which might trouble the automatics if we patched the weak links and start the season well. I'm thinking big here, not 'that will do' but promotion quality everywhere. Assuming the posh chap is the solution to left wing, I think we are missing a keeper, left...

Add 'composure in front of goal' to that and I'm happy too.

I thought Kitching played well. As for the incident, he had to make a tackle and he got suckered by the striker moving too fast. Wasn't a deliberate foul.

Thank you <pleased face emoji>. it's nice to be recognised as original but few can see just how innovative I can be. And if Vik, Jamie, Ivan and Ian are one in a hundred then we shouldn't have too much difficulty in finding one. There must be one in my village! But I don't think it's Basil...

He just doesn't convince me. It's good that his stats bear up though, as we will get our money back. Maybe even turn a small profit. There's a Vardy or another Vik, a Toney or an Ian Wright, out there somewhere in the world waiting to be signed.

I thought we played very well. Imagine Vik instead of Simms... We'd have won that. If Wright scores by placing the ball into the corner when clean through it could have been very different. If I were Robins I think I'd be planning to get two new strikers in summer and try to sell Wright and...

One nil to the sexy boys... Great stuff SBA

Hugely entertaining game between two fluent and skillful sides. As different to Tuesday's crapfest as it could be. Torp has been excellent. Tackling as well as Sheaf and fitting right into the one-touch midfield triangles. Tried another piledriver from long range which went just over...
