Not really, but then again money is also nice.

The ‘integrity’ argument is bizarre - you can’t let other teams dictate how you prepare for a game. Our only obligation is to ourselves.

Absolutely not. Slows down the game, encourages more tactical/cynical stoppages, gives a new advantage to bigger/wealthier teams, and exposes the ref to yet another genre of partisan criticism (“They deliberately took more than/less than 30 seconds” etc etc)

If they’re not in Robins’ thinking for next season then I don’t really see the point

No - he signed it after the Leicester game at the very start of the season https://www.ccfc.co.uk/news/2023/august/contract-matty-godden-signs-new-deal/

Not quite - he signed a contract extension until the end of 24/25. Still looks like quite an odd decision now he’s apparently out the door.

This is the mentality that currently sees us with as many backup keepers as backup centre halves. At some point we need to break the addiction and put our faith in someone.

We won L1 at a canter with a keeper who’s never made it out of the bottom half of the division ever since We nearly won promotion to the Premier League with a journeyman who’s currently backup to the League’s Worst Goalkeeper (Brad Collins) It’s only natural to want him out after last night’s...

Played one full season for us in which we were relegated

I’ve seen plenty of Cov sides win things without a good keeper

I know Collins had a stinker last night, but come on - this is absurd.

I’m pretty sure we won’t upgrade in all of them. We will need to prioritise somewhere, and while no-one wants to admit it the morning after a horror show from the keeper, you will get more upside from every other position on the pitch. Strong sides with middling keepers can still compete -...

How about upgrading the outfield squad first? We currently have as many backup goalkeepers as we do backup centre-halfs - and people are not only confused as to why we’re shipping goals, but they’re saying the answer is we need another keeper instead?

Westwood was great but we achieved absolutely nothing during his time here because the rest of the side was crap. The money needs to be focused outfield.

No point investing millions in a keeper if their CBs are going to play back passes like the one before their third goal. Collins had a horrible game, but the money needs to be spent on the players in front of him.

What on earth are you talking about?

This is exactly how I feel about it. I want us to get promoted for the celebrations, the sense of accomplishment, and for Robins and the team. The stuff that comes afterwards would just be a circus. Objectively speaking I think it’s much more fun being a Championship fan than a Premier League...

Just want to say to all the real fans - don’t give up. The naysayers may say there’s no chance of replaying the game, or Man United willingly giving us millions of pounds. But I think we’re only four, maybe five more screenshots of the offside call away from a real breakthrough here.

Doesn’t have to be Call it extreme if you like, but I propose we hit it hard and fast with a major, and I mean major leafleting campaign
