No chance. Godden is a cert.
Sakamoto needs some attacking time but I cant see that happening either.
Hopefully scrape a 1:0 but I wouldn't be surprised by another 0:0.
I think most except this is a mid table team.
What I'd like is some entertainment and I'm not sure there's enough in the team to deliver much, especially in terms of goals. Certainly until COH is back.
Gurney was excellent and you could feel he was a passionate city fan which was a real plus.
Clive has always had a bumbling irritating edge but he is a solid pro. If Gurney is back in the fold you suspect clive's days might be numbered.
It's a opinion. The guy said we are 2 transfer players off being a top side and I dont think we are with our strike force.
Godden is the first striker on the team sheet should tell you something.
For £10m+ I think we could have done better.
I mean Robins doesn't even play them a full game or play them together and Godden is the lead striker.
You can already see there is a problem.
Unfortunately we bought in the wrong strikers and adding a decent central defender and decent attacking midfielder aren't going to make us 'a top side in this league'. We will have a mid table side until that's resolved.
He'll defintely play Godden so it will be 2 upfront.
I guess Ayari will start. Sadly Saka will warm the bench only used if we're chasing the game with 15 mins left.
Which is a shame because Saka is one of our few players capable of shaking up defences. We're too practicable.
I'd be interested in the estimated transfer fees of ins and outs.
At the minute I think Doug is bagging some serious cash for his mystery investors.
And yes I know there's all sorts of other costs around wages, the stadium, the Ryton window repair. but I'd imagine with the ticket price hike he's...
Robins has favourites. That includes Palmer and Godden and Allen.
They will be amongst his first picks when fit.
Palmer's going nowhere. And Sakamoto and/or Simms, Wright will be having a lot of bench time.
Some people need to learn that it isn't easy to replace quality. With Vik and Gus quite a few were saying sell them for 15 or 20m and get 3 or 4 players in instead to cover the loss.
That isn't working out too well is it?
Let's keep quality in the squad if we can.
We are a fairly predictable team. I’d use it just to disrupt and shake things up.
And if you make it a showpiece the fans will be totally up for it. Getting the fans woken up and chanting is a good plus.
