Goodbye Julien! Thank you for the memories.
We’ll always have that half against Forest.
Wasn’t it the same time as Jobello, Kastaneer, Junior Brown and others?I’m trying remember who was in the same recruitment batch as DaCosta and Hillsner. Decent people but mediocre footballers.

It was the same season we bought in Hamer and GyokeresI’m trying remember who was in the same recruitment batch as DaCosta and Hillsner. Decent people but mediocre footballers.
And Sheaf?It was the same season we bought in Hamer and Gyokeres
He left at the end of June odd to be discussing him now
We spent an absolute fortune for us at the time on Hamer and Gyokeres. We're all glad we did. It didn't leave a lot for the rest of the signings. Most of the others didn't work out. But still it must have been our best season of recruitment ever.

Given the budgets we had to play with, our recruitment truly was exceptional.Indeed. I find it quite odd that people put more emphasis on Hilssner and Dacosta than the names above.
Thanks to all for clarifying/reminding who were recruited alongside DaCosta and Hilssner. These 2 names obviously stood out for the wrong reasons, but looking back on it, it’s amazing how good that group of players was considering how little we had to spend.Indeed. I find it quite odd that people put more emphasis on Hilssner and Dacosta than the names above.
No they were L1 signings. Hilßner and Dacosta came in first window after promotion along with O’Hare, Walker, Hamer, etc.
Well surely you can only make a reasonable comparison of the job done by the levels of “wastage” other clubs have in our divisionThe summer we signed Hamer etc, was the best one, but there were so many shit players and transfer windows under the previous recruitment regime. The only thing that is really exceptional was the management's ability to get the squad to continuously over perform, and I think sometimes people lack appreciation for Robins and the job he has done. We might have more money now, but the recruitment is a lot more strategic. Badlan and the crew brought in some absolute dross, and whilst some players did work out and were good, the margins with such a tight budget need to be respected, and we had far too many players that weren't good really good enough.

That is without even looking. I believe Badlan was also sacked from his role at Blackpool, which just about says it all. Looking at it now though, with such a strong squad building and the deadwood brought in from the previous recruitment cleared out, I am very excited to see what Robins can do with them. I think we are going places.
They've just made the club £35mDon't worry, Frostie will be along in a minute to tell you how good that recruitment department were, and how he is mates with them all.
Given our recent acquisitions, it makes it even more funny.
