Hull City were relegated with a wage bill in excess of £20m

Rotheram and Wycombe only teams I expect us to defo be above. Luton barsnely have advantage as their 2nd season

Early days we above and below 1. Let's focus on winning vs Brum and gaining on Rotheram and other relegation candidates for at very least one night

Brentford are still paying 7/8 players more than our highest earning player.

Brentford had a wage bill Jess than Sunderland and I’d guess less than Ipswich last season.

How did we finish above them?

Ipswich & particularly Sunderland are basket cases.

Brentford are incredibly well run. Lots of data & stats based scouting & recruitment which allows them to pick up the right players at low prices & low wages & then sell on at enormous profits.
They are definitely the model to follow which many clubs, us included, are now trying to do but they're way ahead of the curve though.

To summarise most threads.

MR is poor at subs
MR is poor at tactics
A lot of players are poor ? (don’t want to single them out)

Let’s ignore the huge financial gap.

Let’s comment Luton and barnsley, etc, we can easily compete, despite both of whom have had at least a year in in this league and the money that comes with it.

To summarise most of your posts.

There’s a huge financial gap.
Their players are paid more than ours.

Let’s ignore the fact we’ve chucked about 8 points away from stupid completely avoidable individual mistakes.

Let’s ignore the fact Robins waits until the 90th minute to make like for like substitutions when we are losing and desperate for fresh legs.

Anyone who dares to point out the latter two is a negative Nancy and doesn’t appreciate the team or anything Robins has done for the club.
