West Brom wasn’t brilliant. Wasn’t sure at the time if Hull were just better than us or we were bad.

We were absolutely shite.

tbf, it sounds like we signed him after watching someone else and being impressed with him instead.

Which is a perfectly reasonable way to go of course.

Not the same thing of course, but I heard we were scouting Lawrence Shankland a few years ago and Michael Rose heard about it and played out of his skin at the time so we signed him instead. Look how that turned out!

Not sure anyone would have seen him hit the vein of goalscoring either. Got zero league goals before this season (zero!) outside of Japan, but suddenly he's got a goal conversion rate nearly twice that of Wright's, and 2/3 better than Godden's!

Good job Japan didn't include him in the squad for Asia Cup

Cheeky bid to Basel for Liam Millar

Been discussed on another thread and doesnt sound feasible but I like him, ran us ragged up at their place

 

[Covcraig@bury]

Nah, just Robins' mate watching YouTube vids isn't it?

And there’s me thinking MR seen him win Squid games , what do I know

 

[bigfatronssba]

It’s vintage Robins - his ability to change the system mid-season and get results out of it is mesmerising.

That is what separates him from the rest. Plenty of our previous managers were capable of giving us a decent half season (Dowie, Boothroyd, Presley etc), but that was with a specific system that the rest of the division worked out by Christmas.

System change has helped. But personnel changes have been just as important. Collins has looked solid. Kitching has settled and had a good effect on Thomas. Bidwell - probably the biggest differential in defence and attack. In the early games we really missed Allen’s energy and running. And O’Hare adds some extra quality. Chicken and egg situation.

Did the same to Leeds not long ago.

Bidwell coming back has made a big difference. He also did well for the 3 rd goal as he managed to put in decent cross as he was falling over.

Genuine question - do any of your previous harsh judgements of our new players, the character assasinations or the accusations of disharmony in the camp still stand?
Looks like one of the best squads we've had since dropping out of the Prem to me, and at least from the outside it seems like there's real togetherness.

The disharmony still stands from then yes

Of course its changed now, but I have no reason to doubt what I was told at that time as I've shown a few times on here now

 

[Mucca Mad Boys]

Without getting carried away, looking at the competition around us, we really ought to finish in the playoffs by end of match day 46. That midfield area is crucial for us, good recruitment to get in some wingers and a CM or two and we should be well set.

 

[Fysnkysc]

Still think we have lots of room for improvement, the performances haven't been the best but results have come in.

Is this the old guard not being happy with the new signings? Because if that’s the case I think there’s potentially only 1/2 that would really hurt us to lose…

 

[Alkhen]

We haven't been battered anywhere apart from Cardiff away. Such a weird result.

Even when we have played badly we've lost by the odd goal, missed sitters or penalties. Starting to think we are actually pretty good.

Could be reactionary based on an old squad being replaced by the new oñe?

Look at yourself in the mirror and call yourself a c**t. The days of you making lucky guesses is over, son.

Well just take Robins’ interview after Cardiff, there were definitely some issues along those lines.

You on the beers again? Asking for a friend.

Nope. Just causing disharmony for my own amusement. Saddle was a better poster before he became all arrogant and obnoxious. Ok, I've had a few tins and some baileys, but I'm only doing friendly jokes.
