I do get that, but we seem to finally have a little stability at the club, so let's just take a breath. We could spend £5 million in the next couple of weeks and it still wouldn't guarantee anything. After the last 10 years of turmoil I've no issue with the approach we are currently taking. At some point they might need to take a few risks, but I'm not sure that time is now. Making the playoffs, let alone progressing through them, is a huge ask from here anyway, let's not kid ourselves.
Just feels at times like we can't afford a full squad - i.e. if we want a left back we have to be a striker short. It's also fairly obvious we need an attacking midfielder, even more now we seem to be playing 2.
To be fair, it's probably mostly the frustration of defeat blurring my judgement at the moment.

Am I wrong white lightening Dave? I’d suggest you are Dave Boddy but atleast I know he can spell
No I think you’re right. As it stands we’re down a striker, a CB, an AM and arguable one or two CMs and it means we have to play players through bad form, out of position, or lack options to change a game. If we had another Hamer or O’Hare to come in today, or a proper striker it could have been very different. I think the lack of quality at the back shows against the top teams as well.
We’ve still got some deadwood that can go in the summer but really we need the wage bill upping by a couple of mill in the summer.
Utter rubbish, giving us an extra couple of million a season isn’t going to be causing us any trouble.
Who said silly money. We don’t even have a full squad. We had to sell a striker to sign a left back. Why don’t you go away Neil and stick to giving people hugs at the matches.Maybe my favourite knee jerk reaction to a loss yetSISU have made many errors in the past but you can't argue they have backed Robins in the recent years? We have put together a squad that outplayed QPR massively today who are a top 6 champ team. No need to spend silly money and risk going down derby's path, not sure what a sensible supportor expects in the current climate?

Are we talking recent seasons. Or the fact they’re happy to see Robins and the squad flounder on the comparable peanuts they’re putting forward now? We will not realistically compete and just plodding along hoping for survival is crap.
You’ve had a shocker. Leave.
'we will not realistic compete' at the start of the season we were all happy with safety now we are ahead of where we are budget wise, lose a game and is all SISU fault again this forum is madness when cov lose a game
Think you’ll find people were criticising them regardless of results

Good for themthey're entitled to their opinion
No thoughts on you being wrong?
If a small minority want to blame the owners at the minute when the footballs excellent, we are improving year by year without spending beyond our means then I really do feel sorry for themnot sure I'm wrong though I've only seen any mention of SISU when we lose because people are frustrated. Whatever though, I'm not going to argue on here it's really sensitive after a loss!
Happy for us to plod along on a bottom 3 budget. You’ll be among the first protesters when it inevitably isn’t enough to keep us up, I’m sure.

Plenty more of “listen just hear me out”Next season is likely to be the first we actually regress under Robins' tenure and it's going to be interesting to see how we deal with it as a fanbase.

Of course we are competing. Very few games this season where we've been played off the park. Your second point I agree with. We're competing in spite of our owners not because of them.We aren’t competing and we have owners who are divorced from the club other than accumulated interest abs payments
The staff will be fully aware of what is out there in terms of loans and will be weighing up any possible option.Agree that we shouldn’t be overstretching ourselves with big transfers and contracts but as a few have said, a couple of really good quality loans could potentially sneak us into the plays offs which is surely worth a gamble….as much for SISU as the club
Ahhh that's where you draw the line with sisu is it? RightSISU
You’ve taken us as far as you can on a few pennies. Even Robins who’s a miracle worker won’t take you any further unless you invest.
Either time to stump up a few more quid or get out.
HuhAhhh that's where you draw the line with sisu is it? Right
Can’t or won’t compete ?We tried to get Morgan Gibbs White - but could not compete with what others (Inc Sheff Utd) could offer.
Read the last 6 lines of my post.Can’t or won’t compete ?
We have crowds in the top 10 and expenditure in the bottom 6-the manager needs and deserves to see more from that

Loans still incur cost. Often there is a loan fee and a percentage of wages to cover.

We have a playing budget. That is known at the start of a season.
We do have a "full squad" - full because the budget has dictated so.
Where do we expect the "extra money" to come from??
