And the Spurs game?

Delaney

Is there proof of any of the above though? I’ve not heard or seen indications of any of it.

Or their value when they left our squad? I’m afraid you can’t just keep quoting “we’ve spent £45m” as if it’s purely squad enhancing cash. It’s pure common sense that some has been spent to plug gaps.

Crazy talk I’m afraid. From last years intake Simms, Wright, MvE and Sakamoto have been excellent. No doubt about it. This year Rudoni and Bassette have been. Thomas, Kitching and Dovin have been good too. I’ll give you that there is a doubt about Torp and EMC. I think EMC will be fine.

No, if you play in forward roles and get the goals they got last year that is the only stat that matters

It’s not difficult. We’ve sold £40m of talent. Primarily Yok and Hamer. So the £45m we paid out is not just money to improve it’s also money to replace.

And sold £40m. Technically we’ve improved by the equivalent of £5m

It’s not 100% the physical side although it was for Wright. Bassette and BTA could buzz about and look good v Spurs. Allen the same. Against Swansea we were always going to have more possession. That plays more to the strengths of the likes of Simms and Dasilva and would have combined with the...

Ok, dropped in the league, from the Watford game

Which ones aren’t then?

We haven’t made poor signings. They look excellent. We’ve just created a bit of lopsidedness. The squad is missing a right back. I don’t buy the midfield issue although a loan in there would have added depth. But the problem we have is the one signing I think we’ve got wrong - Torp. It happens...

Nothing has happened to them. Simms has had a decent start and inexplicably been dropped. Wright was picked when clearly flagging. They are still two of the best strikers in the league

The most worrying aspect so far this season is that Robins and his team thought going with the same outfield 10 yesterday was the correct choice. Simms should never have been dropped. Bassette has promise but Simms is a proven 20 goal a year champ striker. Wright was clearly exhausted etc etc...

Those voting Robins out need to be careful what they wish for. We’re missing our most influential player. £45m or £0 players are human beings and need time to bed in. The only time I’d even start considering a change would be the end of the season.

He’s frustrated because he knows playing the same 11 was his cock up.

Still think he’ll be OK.

He got it wrong today but I don’t think he’s in danger. Starting 11 was terribly naive selection. He needs to start with the spine which whenever possible should be Dovin, Thomas, Kitching, Eccles, Sheaf and Simms.

Well that was poor. It’s on Robins. It was a ridiculous team selection. Simms, Saka and EMC had to start. The Spurs game suited bta and Bassette as their harrying came in useful when we didn’t have a lot of the ball. Wright was shattered in the Spurs game. Torp had to start - even though I keep...

Worst half in a very long time. I’m afraid Robins owns this one.
