@Brighton Sky Blue not that i agree with it, but that’s why teams have all their players back defending corners.

And if I recall correctly, it happened fairly early on in pre-season. If it was the back-end of the window I think it could be forgiven slightly, but we had plenty of warning.

Was thinking this myself and the general midfield dynamic is far too fluid. None of them seem to have defined roles so it gets quite messy.

I’m generally a bit pissed off we haven’t used the free agent market more. It’s like we’ve felt we have to spend all the cash in the bank. When I say free agents, I’m meaning back in the summer, players like Browne. Not those still sitting on the sofa in October.

Nonsense though ain’t it. We’ve spent ballpark £12m on defenders since he came in. Simms and Wright about £11m and delivered last year. What is the main difference between last season and this season? Within that lies your answer.

Sorry, just to clarify, which ones?

No.

Do you honestly think the players we have are that bad? I don’t, as it happens.

My main hope is that he is surrounding himself with people he trusts and wants to work with. Of all the meaningful staff here at the point of takeover, only Robins remains. Sad that it may be the end of our most successful manager of modern times, but if it means King is satisfied then so be it...

Win rate is half the story. He managed the team in the 2nd division where they won 26 of 30 games having been relegated the season before. Since their return to the top flight, he has a win %age of 59.2% and a PPG of 1.98. Of more interest is his playing and pressing style. Granted I’ve only...

For the third time now: Eirik Horneland.

Any recollection what he was dismissed for? Something tells me it was leaking team sheets. Ironic if so.

Surprised they didn’t give the car wings.

I’ve said before that the recruitment team is where I’d spend some serious cash. Outside the PL, the role they play in terms of revenue is colossal.

The whole “one in the technical area” rule is abused by loads of clubs. Fairly mild thing to bash Robins with in the grand scheme of things, but it reflects the general politeness/naivety we suffer with.

Exactly what Doug would say if he didn’t want anyone to clock on……..

I don’t really know. Not his appointment at the end of the day, and for all the fluttering of eyelashes and kissy faces both he and Robins give each other in public, who knows what’s actually happening behind the scenes. Let’s face it. If rumours are to be believed, Robins initially wasn’t...

Doug wants to sign exclusively European players. Dean said so.

There will be a Director of Football and a Head Coach soon.

The one thing I will say on this is: Can anyone tell me the last time Robins faced up to a fan/the fans? Failing that, can anyone tell me the last time Robins even got as close to the fans as the nearest player? Something ain’t right; either personally or professionally and he’s blown. I know...
