Ok. Hope your right, I think If we have him as our main striker in championship we will struggle
Trouble understanding? Yes he is.
Utter rubbish
First off, we need to keep hold of Robins.
That may not be an easy task.
On the playing side, I don't think we have a lot to fear.
We held our own against Birmingham and with some strengthening in a few positions we should be able to consolidate around the mid to lower table.
Easy we have the best owners since DR.....Oh really - how then will we raise enough money to fund competitive wages for championship players?

According to my Barnsley supporting daughter, both Conor Chaplin and Luke Thomas are seen as decent signings (especially Chaplin with 12 goals and 6 assists), but it took time for a completely new defence to bed in and they lost game after game before Christmas as a result. They should have held on to their central defenders Pinnock and Lindsay and goalkeeper Adam Davies. All went to other teams in the Championship for modest fees (less than they paid for their strikers) even though they had been crucial to Barnsley promotion. We shouldn't make the same mistake. Keep the core of a successful team.

The point is that if you have a solid defence, why completely dismantle that team of defenders who are used to playing together when you get promoted.
I don’t entirely agree with the continuity bit as there has been a constant turnover of players. The play off final was less than two years ago yet only Hyam and Kelly from that team have been regulars this season. Going on his previous record I think that there would be quite a bit of coming and going of players in the summer. One of the good things about Robins is that he doesn’t appear to let sentiment cloud his judgements, he is quite ruthless.Cant argue with that. The only defender in our back 3 I would perhaps have a doubt about making the step up is McFadz because he’s an ageing player and isn’t the quickest defender either. Despite this, having 3 central defenders does protect him as we have wingbacks and two defenders to cover him.
I doubt we’d see wholesale changes to the team, continuity has been main reason for Robins success in his second spell.

We had huge changes to the squad this season vs last and will do so again
if promoted I doubt there will be more than 5 or 6 players who will be competing for places in the championship
We paid an awful lot for him if management think he isn't.godden easily good enough ?.
We'll sell anybody who we think the fee we're offered is decent value. That's the reality of where we are.Oh really - how then will we raise enough money to fund competitive wages for championship players?
That’s where pretty much every club are. No one in football is off the market if a good price is offered.We'll sell anybody who we think the fee we're offered is decent value. That's the reality of where we are.
Our good price will be lower than many though, owing to our need for cash.That’s where pretty much every club are. No one in football is off the market if a good price is offered.
What is the going rate for championship players then?Oh really - how then will we raise enough money to fund competitive wages for championship players?
What is the going rate for championship players then?
I can only find from 18/19 but the average wage bill of a Championship club is £34m
Doesn't tell us much when you’ve got ex prem clubs dragging it upwards. What was the lowest wage bill that survived is what I’d guess we need.
Come on Otis you can do better.Yup.
Threads like this worry me. Let's get promoted first.
I think it was actually over 180 minutesOxford drew with Newcastle twice over 90 minutes. It is about maintaining that level and having the squad for 46 games which is the issue
Don't think it's a 3 year deal, simply that the EFL said max 3 years, but we all know how they stick to their own rules.The bigger question that seems to be hard to answer with evidence is where are we playing next season? Keep seeing people say we have a three 3 deal at St Trillions, but personally can't find it myself where the EFL would accept a groundshare if we're in the same league?
