So, who do we think are the Robins type players here (7 Viewers)

Otis · Mar 5, 2017

And who are most definitely not?

From what I recall he likes his teams well organised, disciplined and hard working, but also does like to play decent football.

Who do you think will get the immediate cold shoulder and be told their future lies elsewhere?

italiahorse · Mar 5, 2017

Can you give me a couple of days to think about this one ?

Erm....

superskyblue · Mar 5, 2017

Also, does anybody remember what his record on signings was like? I remember he brought in Moussa and Leon Clarke but have probably conveniently forgotten any shockers he signed.

matesx · Mar 5, 2017

Hopefully he realises quickly we have 2 shite keepers

devonrich · Mar 5, 2017

Well organised, disciplined and hard working, and also likes to play decent football - errrrrrrr that would be no one then.

fernandopartridge · Mar 5, 2017

He'll play 3 midfielders, 4-5-1/4-3-3 I think K Thomas will be his lone striker. Might see Jones and G Thomas alongside

Beavon I would say definitely fits into that category.

Yeah, remember him playing 4-5-1 quite a lot.

James Bailey was OK
Signed that kid Henderson from Arsenal who was crap
Blair Adams

weecohawena · Mar 5, 2017

Jones has to play

weecohawena · Mar 5, 2017

I dont even remember Henderson.

Where did he play?

Central midfield, remember seeing him play in that awful 1-0 win at Oldham

James Baily was great for us until he got injured.

Where is he now?

Otis · Mar 5, 2017

Carlisle apparently.

weecohawena · Mar 5, 2017

Just signed for Carlisle

covcity4life · Mar 5, 2017

I liked bailey

His winner in 2-1 vs oldham in injury time is 1 of best ricoh moments ever.

Otis · Mar 5, 2017

I don't suppose Robins will be seeking any contract free players will he now.

Surely he's been told to come in and plan for next season hasn't he?

Jamie Record, left back I think he was, shocking!

skybluepm2 · Mar 5, 2017

If he went out and got an experienced out of contract keeper tomorrow it wouldn't surprise me. Surely now we have someone who realises just how abysmal Lee Burge is. I expect him to be loaned to mount nod reserves for the rest of the season.

dongonzalos · Mar 5, 2017

I think in the summer he will get a new goalie, two new CB's,
A full back
2 strikers
2 CM's

Jodi jones will never be a footballer as long as he's got a hole in his arse

SkyBlue_Bear83 · Mar 5, 2017

I think he will play a 4231

K Thomas as the main man, beavon playing in the number 10. Jones and Reid out wide and maybe Stevenson and bigi holding.
Be interesting to see who he picks in defence and at goalkeeper

jackdg · Mar 5, 2017

Was that the year we played about 8 different left backs!

All at the same time?

wingy · Mar 5, 2017

Lameiras obviously.

Nope ......... nothing.

Great_Expectations · Mar 5, 2017

He liked to play football, so I imagine players like Bigi and Stevenson will see more game time. Potentially even Ruben.

I wouldn't be surprised if he tried to fit Harries into the team somehow too.

Players like Beavon, Stokes and, to be fair based on recent games, Reilly who put shifts in regardless of opposition, league position, manager etc I'm sure will also be in his thinking.

It will be most interesting to see what he does with Slades signings. Will loans be sent back? Will Clarke/Foley etc still start? Will he favour players who will be here next season over those who won't be, even if there is a difference in quality?

no_loyalty · Mar 5, 2017

I hope he doesn't play Tudgay

shmmeee · Mar 5, 2017

Would be hilarious if Stokes is suddenly fit once Slade has gone.

If I had to guess a Robins team, it'd be:

RCC
DKE Willis Harries Stokes
Reilly Stevenson
G Thomas Beavon Lamerias
K Thomas

Something like that. Sad fact is that it's still not good enough, especially in defence/GK.

Hit the nail on the head there I too think he may opt for a 4231. Maybe this....
-----------------RCC--------------------
--DKE ---Clarke---Turnbull---Haynes--
---------Bigirimana---Reilly------------
--G Thomas--Lameries--K Thomas----
----------------Beavon -----------------
At Scunthorpe he played mainly a 4231 system or a 433 adaptation with 2 deep midfielders.
A few things that does concern me and one is we don't have the fast natural wide players like we had in his time here before, 2nd is he paid a fee for Jordan Clarke to take him to Scunthorpe!!!!

CovBurty · Mar 5, 2017

We will find out this summer when ge gets a chance to build. When he checks out our current rubbish I think he may want a complete new team. After the Sisu sell offs.

So, who do we think are the Robins type players here (7 Viewers)
