We simply don't have the resources for that. We can't afford to pay 22 championship wages at the moment.
Hence we have League One level players filling out the bench/squad player roles - Kelly, Allen, Jones, Shipley etc
At this point in the summer i just want 2 championship level players at least in every position
It was unbelievable pal, a fantastic season. And we watched it all on the fucking internet, with two absolute bell ends providing the commentary.

Yep, that's where we're at unfortunately.
I know it's frustrating for us as fans but it's simply not possible to churn a League 2 squad to become a Top 6 Championship team this quickly on our budget.

Morison on Bagan: ‘We embarrassed him in the dressing room because of how good he was! He made them take a player off, his opposite number. He was thrown in the deep end and it was tough for him. Now Alfie has got to try and move Joel out because he was man of the match
Funny what can happen when you give a young player a chance
Rather than Mattsen for Kane he would have been far better subbing a CB for Taraves or Jones and going 4-3-3.The wing backs aren't really what we need either

Another problem is that we have the same players consistently over the last two seasons injured all the time… godden, Kelly and Dabo…. There very good championship players but consistently injured and having a thin squad highlights this even more.We simply don't have the resources for that.

We have another who can’t behave on the pitch in hamer and a young kid in Eccles who also appears to have injury challenges all the time. This can’t continue and is holding the club back.
I get it all clubs have injuries as that’s the nature of the sport but were not a bloody charity. It’s frustrating.

Why can't we afford it. We've got above average attendances, record season ticket sales and, apparently, the best deal we've ever had at the arena?We simply don't have the resources for that. We can't afford to pay 22 championship wages at the moment.

Is he not fit to play 90? Must have missed that in the press.Kane isn’t fit to play 90 mins. The only way to avoid that sub would’ve been to start Maatsen at RWB.
Yes, it does feel a bit inevitable. It's also fair to say that some of our stars eg Gyok and O'Hare were not necessarily purchased as part of any masterplan just loan signings we were able to make permanent.Said it on the match thread last week that the signings of Kane and Bidwell have troubled me. They're very average championship wingbacks, on longish contracts taking up a decent chunk of the budget with 0 resale value. All signs are pointing to a fire sale of our stars in the summer in order to allow re-investment, but more signings like them and we're just going to be a boring lower table Champ side.
I know I'll get pelters for suggesting it but once the gloss of being back at the CBS/live footy wears off and crowds start to dwindle, I predict it will be an ever decreasing circle for a season or 2 with us ending up back in L1.
Tonight showed the worst of Robins' character imo.
Despite all the great times he's bought us and how he's progressed everything he still loves an away point far too much.
From the first 5 minutes you could see we were happy to keep possession and go side to side with no real intent. The injuries suspensions and tiredness only gives him the extra impetus to not bother with the forward play.
8 of them are out there for 90 minutes regardless and he gets to swap a few round, I don't think expecting a little bit of inventiveness is too much.
TLDR - Robins settling for the point before KO could have cost us all 3 against a shite side.
People always criticise their employers in public interviews, tends to go down exceptionally well and make for a fine working relationship.We do. But he's not willing to say what needs to be said in public-he's working for people who wouldn't care if we lost every week as long as they could continue taking their pound of flesh. What a difference just one extra bit of quality going forward would have made tonight and many others.
Money was offered to get Shipley off our hands and attempt to get an improvement. We decided not to because he had a half decent game against Peterborough and scored against QPR. It was short termist and already now looks daft
Regarding finances at the club I’m wondering what the accounts will show for last season when they’re submitted to companies house.Why can't we afford it. We've got above average attendances, record season ticket sales and, apparently, the best deal we've ever had at the arena?
People delighted with the ownership cos we used to play Exeter though.
Requires owners who aren't leeches

Did they pick the formation and substitutions last night?
Well the former probably does have ramifications ref: team spirit, yes.I mean nor does abusing your pet on camera but if your value to the organisation exceeds the crime then it’s a different matter. He doesn’t have to go full barrels but he could easily hint at the owners being the problem without explicitly saying it.
Correct and we've been crying for our dabo recently even just to give kane a rest. That man management of dabo was pathetic. We all called it on here during thr game and we lost him for a month because of thatHe decided to aggravate Dabo’s injury to avoid using Reid for 20 minutes in a Cup game
