I dont want this to become a "Robins out" thread but questions certainly need asking. Before the January window it was evidently clear we need goals in this VERY goal shy team. We bring in an unproven 21yo loanee and pay a fee for an even bigger unproven kid thats played less than a handful of games for Rochdale. While Forest and Preston bring in Glen Murray and Ched Evans FOR FREE who have both scored 2 in 2!!!!
Yes, we've been unlucky with injuries. Yes, we've played well this season and looked (at times) like we can compete with the big boys, but im under no illusion now that we will be going down with Wycombe and the main reason for that is such an appalling January window. While teams around us strengthened, we got kids for the U23s. I get that Robins hands are tied more than most managers in the league, but surely the wages of Gyorkeres and the undisclosed fee and wages of the other lad together would have covered the wages for one of Murray or Evans or similar?! We were slow with signings, and when they did come (Matty James the exception) they were poor.
