Of course they are. What do you expect them to say “come and buy a ticket, we’ll be utter shite”.

No-one is saying yesterday was great. Everyone can see we could have done with a midfielder. But, for crying out loud, we’re 4 points from 4 games. Our best player is yet to play. From some of the bilge on here you’d think we’d had 4 straight losses. It’s not happy clapping - just need some balance.

I don’t think we’ve regressed as a team. Where there has been a massive difference is expectation. We are playing in the biggest dogfight league possibly in the world. We’ve spent a few quid. We had an outstanding season two seasons ago. Suddenly we’re being recognised as a team that should “do...

Makes no difference at all. You’re obviously as invested as the rest of us.

Why not? Being in the ground makes no difference. I am a ST holder and it makes no difference. Despair is not something anyone should be feeling.

They’ve tried to get it. That’s very, very obvious. It’s not some sort of disaster zone in there with who we have.

We were exactly the same at this point last year. Then we got better.

Look at it another way. We’ve lost no-one from midfield (certainly in the area being discussed) so we have exactly the same amount of depth we had before. It’s not even a conversation if Sheaf is fit.

Great post Jimmy. It’s what most sort of thought was happening. I’d much rather build with solid foundations than spaff money on fillers. There does seem to be a certain tension though in terms of the type of players we are now after versus a fairly rigid wage structure. Do you think there is...

O’Hare wasn’t a terrier. He barely played for 18 months. Remarkable how he and Palmer have suddenly turned into Messi and Ronaldo now they’ve left. Palmer was an ineffectual faffer and O’Hare was better but rarely a factor.

The off the field points are just speculation. On the field I think it’s an over reaction. Torp is the one who does worry me which means we are more reliant on Eccles and Sheaf than I’d like but to say we have no midfield is incorrect. Up front we have lots of talent that will click eventually...

Seriously, the reactionary stuff on this thread is unbelievable. Robins is light years ahead of anything we’ve had in the last 2-3 decades. The same conversations were happening last year as Wright and Simms settled. We’ve signed proven players this year who just need a few games. There should...

Look, I understand it’s hard to stay objective in the face of a disappointing defeat but they were good.

We lost but we had zero issues defensively today. Bidwell lacked composure in the attacking half but we were rarely troubled at the back.

Based on him having played 4 games. Knee jerk reactions are rarely accurate

Robins has to stop trying to play all his forwards and stick to the system. Wright plays left for 90 minutes. If that means Mason-Clark doesn’t play so be it.

Still think he is. Ridiculously early to start judging

Van Ewijk, Binks, Eccles all good. It’s almost as if Robins has too many forward options. I wouldn’t have bought Wright off. Not a good day for Bidwell and someone needs to tell Simms he’s still got to try even though he got the odd goal last season. At least Mason Clark started running at them...

Midfield wasn’t the issue. It was overall mindset. Every player looked half arsed about the whole thing. Second to everything. Wright is our best forward by a country mile - not sure why he came off. MVE excellent but that was it

As soon as Dovin and Rudoni walked in and Wright, Simms, Ewijk and Saka didn’t walk out this was an excellent window. The others are a bonus. I don’t get the clamour just to sign anyone. They would eat up budget. It’s far better to wait until you can get who you want. If I was King and was...
