You could argue that the fact we are short in midfield is down to Robins. we know we agreed fees and terms with midfield targets but they chose other clubs. All the owner can do is that. It’s upto Robins to convince them that they should choose him and us over other options …..

What do you consider the big calls to be when owning a football club ?

Jesus I could be a while … not selling Vik and Hamer in the Jan despite us being nowhere near the play offs … without that call we don’t get to the final and we all know SISU would have sold at least one of them. getting top dollar for them both when we did sell. strengthening the recruitment...

Yes I would. He’s got a high percentage of the big calls right and has shown he will bring in expertise to help with the quality of our decisions. However I think Robns will get it right.

Yes they were and COH at his worst was also totally ineffective.

I’m old enough t remember the circumstances under which Rob Gurney stopped reporting on CCFC. Getting too close to the thing that you love and seeing its imperfections was too much for him. I don’t doubt that @Saddlebrains or @GIMOC are die hard Cov fans who want the absolute best for the club...

This simply isn’t true is it. None of our players when they have a poor day are light years ahead of the rest, including COH. COH at his best was better than Eccles and Torp at their best but at his worst he was also totally ineffective. There is a reason why COH is still in the championship...

This is not what Robins said. he said we tried, it got difficult due to the number of parties, the cost of the deal, little time to do diligence on the player etc but he confirmed they tried.

I could not agree with you more.

@Jimmy87 has confirmed that we tried to sign both a permanent and a loan midfielder this week . It fell through at the last minute. It happens at every club.

Thanks @Jimmy87 but this is not the narrative some on this forum want so put your tin hat on.

It’s pure over reaction. Yes we have not started well. This is not new news for us in the championship under Robins. The window has been a good one. The same approach and recruitment team that were lauded last year are being given dogs abuse now. We do not lack creative players, nor height...

He’s barely played for 2 seasons so it’s not COH we are missing ….

Are you new to football ? You appear pretty clueless. This is just a wild rant.

Robins determines the recruitment position priorities. The idea that people think Doug King does is laughable.

Hartson

Couldn’t spot a player at 20 paces

It depends who you replace with and how you spend the investment …. We lost Gykores and are better for it. The same with Hamer.

That’s football. We will replace with better and he stronger ourselves.

What is happening in the championship in the 2 seasons after this one then that will make it harder ??
