Taxi for Robins

Baka will be isolated. He’s going to have to be a nuisance and get through a lot of work.

Baka over Biamou???? Wtf!!

Based on last game it’s the right call

 

[PurpleBin]

Bristol City seem to be an example of both of these from my very limited knowledge. Fair enough they have an owner who supports the club and recently converted £71m of debt to shares, but they actually turned a profit regardless. And yes, they also own their own stadium..

I remember them trying to buy Dwight Gayle when they first went up and him moaning how ridiculous it was that they were quoted £6m. They stuck to their model, improved year by year and now they're in and around the play-offs and just spent £5m on Nakhi Wells

Preston are someone that seem to be trying to do it right as well.

 

[SkyBlueSoul]

They’ve spent over £30m in transfer fees since being promoted.

Have we even spent that in 20 years?

Absolutely nowhere near, but neither have we received nearly £70m in transfer fees like they have in the last 2 seasons

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Preston are someone that seem to be trying to do it right as well.

The last accounts show Preston’s wage bill at £15m and Bristol City’s at nearly £30m

Our wage budget is only likely to be doubled in the Championship with our current situation and would be nothing short of a miracle to stay up should we get promoted

I’m hoping Godden is carrying. And has been for a few games too, no forward can be that slow.

 

[Calista]

Maybe Matt has an appointment at the salon?

Thought they both played well tbf, but Biamou would always edge it for me.

Probably been insisting to Robins he's OK in a bid to get back in form

Baka is a better player when riled up for me. Though happy with either TBF

From what I saw, absolute best case scenario we could turn over £10 million barring a massive spike in ticket sales. Which is about where we were in 2012

Big chance for Baka today. Got to put himself about and really involve himself. Needs to be on tor’s rather than heels in the box

Reckon hiwula may make an appearance today

Why would he need to be surfing the web anonymously while playing football?

O'Hare and Allen are more attacking than Shipley and Westbrooke so I don't think he'll be isolated.

Hope he bags a couple.

Bakayoko is the better player - there’s little argument there and he’s probably waking up to the fact that unless he does something he’s on the dole in June

 

[Esoterica]

That midfield 4 of Kelly, Walsh, Allen and O'Hare... Don't think I've been as excited to watch a midfield since about 1999 with McAllister, Chippo, Hadji, Froggatt

100% we now have our best midfield players all playing together

Don't know about you but I miss the days when we shat ourselves over Stephen Hughes signing a new deal

 

[covcity4life]

I like that team. Happy tonsee sum1 ne upfront

 

[clint van damme]

He'll miss it!

agreed

I was thinking the same the other day. We now have the best midfield squad since we dropped out of the Prem, with Westbrooke & Shipley on the bench.

If he's the better player and there is little argument why will he be on the dole in june ?

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Crowd looking OK

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Quite busy inside. Probably make 5500

 

[Dickie]

Benno sounds like he’s on the pop already

Stephen Hughes & Tim Sherwood midfield pairing lol

 

[Johhny Blue]

Our new Japanese signing?

 

[Great_Expectations]

Why are they?

Several posters have beat me to the punch and comprehensively answered this already.
