Can Burroughs play either side or is he just right sided?
Can Burroughs play either side or is he just right sided?I cant see Bidwell and Dasilva being our only options on the left. 1 goes and 1 is brought in that is a position we need to strengthen and i believe can.

Has anyone seen much of Obikwu, he looked good in preseason, know if he’ll make the mark?
Important for the tax breaks?so there’s a lot of talk about this year being a ‘rebuild’ for various reasons
What I don’t understand is why, when we only lost two players of note did we have to rebuild the whole squad to go again? well, I say two, we also didn’t have the foresight to go after McNally with any gusto so he signed for a team now threatened with relegation instead, and Doyle, who to be honest was easily replaceable
if we had signed a top quality centre forward and box to box midfielder with the cash, and someone like MVE & Liam Kitching (or made more of an attempt with McNally), wouldn’t we have been in a similar / better place than last season? and yet we, for some reason, have signed more players but appear worse off
Because it’s far more difficult to find 2 players of their quality than to improve the starting 11 overallso there’s a lot of talk about this year being a ‘rebuild’ for various reasons

I like how you keep this quite vague so if we don’t sign him and you get called out on it you can just say, I beg your pardon, I never promised you a Mathias Kvistgaarden…A name to keep an eye on: Mathias Kvistgaarden.

I thought he looked a threat against us to be honest …. I don’t think he is better than Wright or Simms but would be an upgrade on Godden from the benchUgbo anyone? Worked with Adi like everyone else we sign and been linked before. On fire atm. Seems to have very good movement in the box, something out strikers desperately lack.
Normally I’d agree but for a standout midfielder and a good backup on a free I’d dive back into that market headfirstNo more Barnsley players.
I think Westwood was a similar age when he signed for us from League One.If Johansson is so good then why has he been at Rotherham for 3 and a half years?
I think we did go for him didn't we, but Burnley were asking too much and preferred another 1 year loan for him. Robins also said after the Stoke game about how we might see McNally again, (something along those lines)...Wouldn't surprise me if we go back in for him in the summerWhile McNally was good for us last season by all accounts he has been pants at Stoke, where Rose is rated more highly. He would only have been a good signing if he had been the version we had last season, which was not a given. MR must have seen something that put him off pursuing him again.
I'm not convinced on Collins, he's an upgrade on Wilson but I think we can do better and doubt we'd have signed him at all if we didn't have some weird obsession with players who came through the Chelsea academy under Viveash.
It’s pretty clear that we have had a lot of players in recent years that are punching above their weight with us.While McNally was good for us last season by all accounts he has been pants at Stoke, where Rose is rated more highly.

Robins and his team get the most out of average individuals.
Players I’d put into the category of this is:
- Godden
- Kelly
- Allen
- JDS
- Wilson
There are a couple of others you could add to that list potentially.
With the exception of Doyle, Hamer and Gyokeres from last seasons cohort, all other players are playing their football in League 1. Or at best, fighting for survival in Championshop - see McNally and Rose.You just have to look at how many players leave us and drop a level or two.
Also I’m not convinced by this splashing £4m+ on players. I don’t think we’ve done significantly better than when we were buying £1m players so I’d restrict the scouting team and get them to focus on bargains again not £8m strikers and £5m L1 players. More Torps and Sakas.
Who? Ahh. Tom
I’m not against Bidwell leaving. He’s a good player but we need to be ambitious in the market. A left footed MVE is the dream.
JDS will do as a backup.

Sam McCallum on a freeI’m not against Bidwell leaving. He’s a good player but we need to be ambitious in the market. A left footed MVE is the dream.

JDS has to go ffs!!
Da silva has a longer, bigger contract that someone needs to pick up. So we’re unlikely to be able to offload even if we wanted to at this stage.Dasilva will be on high wages - far more than Bidwell
Because in the play off final we had 3 loan players + 2 that have left since, that's 5 of 11. Then we've got Kelly and McFadz, that's 7 of 11. That is a team rebuild.so there’s a lot of talk about this year being a ‘rebuild’ for various reasons
