Fwiw, jack Rudoni was a player Adi Viveash was really keen on...BTA very much a Mark Robins pick.

We’re playing 5 at the back and they were all signed to play a 4.

I’m not sure you can make that argument for anyone aside from EMC

 

[stupot07]

Thought he was very good Saturday

Not sure about the rage about EMC, we will see how we line up when we kick off but surely it will be along the same lines as the weekend (when we didn't play wingers)

Exactly, we're playing a strong team away from home, an we've set up to play 3 at the back with a box midfield. Makes total sense. He can come on against tired legs as the game starts to stretch.

 

[Evo1883]

I quite like the lineup , quite attacking

 

[stupot07]

Just feel we didn’t move the squad on last summer really. Didn’t fill the gaps or upgrade anyone any significant amount.

Yeah that's how I feel about the transfer window.

 

[shmmeee]

I disagree massively on the quality of player, our squad is the best it's been since the Prem days. As for value for money, it's mixed I suppose, does Austin negotiate the fees?

Sorry that’s a mistype. I meant the mentality of player, though I can accept that goes down as quality does up maybe. I think Wright and MvE are OK but cost a lot. The rest I could take or leave.

Rudoni is really good, I don't get the questions around him. Definitely a Robins pickup too imo. Unfortunately the 2 others I'm certain are Robins pickups are Kitching and BTA and you'd definitely consider them 2 of the most questionable given the fees paid. Not that I think either are awful, but still..

The squad is such though that literally adding 3 quality signings would propell it to one of the leagues best , it's not far away

Wright is quality and well worth the money we paid.

We changed the demographic of the squad to its detriment.

Yeah but that’s what we said last year that’s my point about the summers business.

I agree with this

 

[shmmeee]

Yeah Wright is, but probably not a huge amount more. He’s a decent buy not a bargain, MvE as well.

 

[Dhinsa's_Millions]

If I was picking the team I’d have Kitching in for Lati.

Wrong foot

Nurse!

 

[TomRad85]

Nurse!

When was it better then mate?

 

[Evo1883]

Nurse!

It's between this squad and the 22/23 though mate isn't it

 

[CovveeBreak]

I cannot believe in the year 2024, people who call themselves football fans don't understand the idea of rotation in a squad.

There might be a "best 11", but the notion that it can be fielded for every game in a season is just nonsense.

Players on the bench who were bought in summer is not a sign of their capability. Their confidence right now? Maybe.

 

[shmmeee]

2015/16

 

[Nick]

Hasn't Rudoni played most games? Not sure he's been "dropped" because he's not good enough.

 

[Evo1883]

2015/16

If they all played in their primes maybe

 

[TomRad85]

It's between this squad and the 22/23 though mate isn't it

It's this one isn't it if we're realistic. Clints obviously having one of them evenings where an argument is required for some reason.

 

[clint van damme]

The fact you're even asking is fucking mental.
The play off season had Gyokeres, Hamer, Fadz, McNally and Doyle

 

[EalingSB]

Irrespective of the hits and misses, picking up a soon-to-be Belgian international striker for 2m or whatever is outstanding business.

That must be it mate

 

[COVKIDSNEVERQUIT]

The fact you're even asking is fucking mental.

And that's why Wilson kept the most clean sheets that season.

 

[Nick]

Can just imagine some fans writing letters to Robins while listening to Stan.

Clearly wrong though!

 

[JSL]

Is Rudoni close to a suspension if he gets booked again? The team looks good aside JDS and Lati but there's nobody else that plays where they are needed. Rudoni is not a true LWB and moving Thomas to RCB leaves a partnership of Kiching and Binks in CB and LCB which hasn't clicked previously. All be it we seem to ship goals regardless so perhaps worth revisting.

This just highlights where the squad is lacking. A good CB and LWB and we are pretty sorted

 

[TomRad85]

You have been kicking off a lot recently if we're honest. But yeh anyway I said squad so that's your opinion but here's the play off final bench..

 

[stupot07]

Just noticed that Burnley have conceded just 6 goals in 16 games.
