It is brilliant that we can get carried away but that’s what we are doing. All this talk of promo hinges on the next 24 hrs is nonsense. Football success is mostly about financial clout. Not always, but mostly. Right now the 3 relegated teams plus Leeds would all be seen as a stronger bet...

I think that is partly true but the time frame was set by Doug …. Premier League within 5 years … the issue is that some fans want it quicker than that !

A very good technical point but we could start the academy at under 15’s by cherry picking lg1 and 2 players and still comply ….

I suspect when we get to the last 2-3 days of the window both the club and the player are less fussy over the quality of the club the player is going to. I don‘t know the style of football Northampton or Ayr play but for loans like that to work it should really be similar to the type we wish to...

I agree with this but for it to be true you can’t lose your very best assets aged 15 / 16/17 to the elite ….

@AFCCOVENTRY based on your both responses why do we have an academy then ?

The reason I ask is that if we are going to lose our best academy players to the big 6, and those we keep rarely go on to have hugely successful careers what is the value of the academy ??

It might be my memory but I’m struggling to remember a player that we have loaned out for a season and they have ripped it up and come back a much much better player. I think Eccles is the last player I can recall being loaned out and going on to progress into the first team but that wasn’t due...

The Italian that @Clarkey_CCFC suggested was being shown round yesterday

Baker ? I hope not

Let me get the right … there a a guy on X who you think is plonker but YOU follow him, and now YOUR posting about him. I’m certain one of you two is deluded I’m just not sure it’s the one you think it is …..

I think the fashion for playing out from the back has made a huge difference in his regard to historical views of defending and the required capabilities …

If yo hear the full interview Robins refuses to comment on the last few days of the window. He’s always been happy to manage fan expectation in the past so I think silence means we are still active and hopeful but he doesn’t want to be drawn.

We are too easy to defend agains when teams play a low block. None of our midfield make third man runs, everything is in front of the play. Predictable. Tonight was comfortable but should have been very comfortable and in the end we were left vulnerable to a late equaliser. Notable...

If we lose to Oxford tonight this place will be absolutely toxic. Just because we are not being linked with players doesn’t mean we are not trying or will fail. which is worse …. The club keeping it all in house or like leicester with a different player linked every day and most of them...

I didn’t say they played with a 10. I said Casedi is a 10. KDH was their most advanced midfielder and when Casedi came on he didn’t play as a CDM, which imho is what we need.

🤡

Leicester played with KDH as their most advanced midfielder not Casedi. When he came on he played as an additional forward threat. Apology accepted.

I think our best bet is a club who have been stockpiling players and even talented younger players know they need to leave on loan to get any minutes. I don’t have any names but I will be amazed if we don’t sign someone … the Bassette signing has given me hope that if we are prepared to spend...
