absolute disgrace to all involved
MVE was looking like a good bet on that so of course he's the one probably out for the season.Looks like we fuckd up with the money spent can't see us getting much of it back in sell ons either

What is up with you? Tell me who our next 3 injuries are going to be and how you were going to plan for them. I look forward to your reply.

Get on the lottery numbers quickly if you are.How much fear could I strike into our players at will if I’m right though?
If MVE does have a Quad Muscle tear. It's 3 months out minimum.
I think it's literally just you discussing that.
Yeah I mentioned this during the transfer window and got absolutely slated for it. The fact remains that Doug has spent none of his own cash this window, yes it may be that he’s had to spend a bit here and there with doing up the stadium or installing the new CCFC shop, and maybe the money from deals comes in over a long period of time but the actual long term cash he’s spent is nothing compared to the cash that we made from Vik & Gus.Everyone was sucking Doug off all summer
Shit window and we're going to be bottom 6 for a while now
https://giphy.com/i8g8MpdVF6BAAaVXt4I honestly don’t like being pessimistic but I can’t help but feel it’s turning into a real shit show.
Feel like I’ll have to if we draw or lose the Huddersfield game
Enjoy the journey.
Do we have anybody that can dig us out like Vik and Hamet did last year?I'm just saying we heard all this shite last year, how we were basically relegated already, and look what happened.

Plus, we need to add in the Jan window.
We will have less games from the window opening to the end of the season to "hit some form" and put a run together like we did last year as there were less games from Aug to Christmas due to the world cup. (Obviously more games from December to end of season last year)
In the L1 season no one had gone up in recent history with an away record as bad as ours up to Christmas, but we turned it round, became unbeatable on the road and won the league.
First season back we used the loan market well, hit some form post QPR away and finished quite comfortably.
So it wasn't just last season where we found a way of turning around early season issues.
Of course that doesn't mean it will happen this year but you'd think people would learn from experience to have a bit more pacience.
I’ve got faith in Robins to get the best out of the group. My concern is we haven’t progressed the group as much as we should with £20m.
I am grateful for Jake Bidwell. He can fill in a lot of different roles. He isn't particularly outstanding but whole hearted and really valuable player. Not quite sure why he has been downgraded , I understand if he feels a bit miffed.I think moving JDS and bringing in Bidwell is exactly tly what he'll do.
Wake up and smell the coffee. Mid table would always have been good this year. That was the case even before the injuries. We are in the same position as the League 2 season in terms of the development cycle just from a much higher starting point and where it is a lot more competitive. Lots of new players who need to be integratedThere’s no no no way sakamoto starts for us rwb
unless we’re comfortable in mid table
I agree. There was a discussion on Twitter earlier today who said Sakamoto may have been brought to cover that position but robins probably isn’t convinced now after seeing him a couple of times there that’s he’s best position.There’s no no no way sakamoto starts for us rwb

Buying players is always a lottery. Alex Fergusson bought Nick Powell and Phil Jones after all. Robins has had a fair few howlers but generally been ahead of the game.
apropos the twitter poll as to whether Robins should be sacked - I assume the 5% who do want to get rid of him either have severe mental health problems or are fans of other clubs who would be glad to have him
Even if we were relegated I'd stick with Robins
We need results, why we didn’t sign another specialist rwb is mind bogglingI agree.

Didn't Brian Kilkline score 28 goals for us? Not sure what your point is?From a free kick - brian Kilkline could do that

There's always a risk with recruitment.
Look at some of the money spent on absolute dogshit in the Premier league.
Just because we managed to turn 3 million into 30 with Vik and Hamer it doesn't always follow that the 20 mil spent will reap similar returns.
Still early days and I still think that overall the players we've recruited will turn out to be succesful.
Though having success on a shoestring then fucking it up when we've finally got some cash to spend would be text book city.
Doesn't help when we spunk £10million on this pair.I’ve got faith in Robins to get the best out of the group. My concern is we haven’t progressed the group as much as we should with £20m.
I thought that was the direction we were going in with all the other signings up to unveiling Wright for nearly £8m. I still look at that amount and can't quite believe, or maybe don't want to believe that we paid that as the base fee.I just worry the strategy is wrong. I can’t get over rather than £13m on Kitching and Wright we could have got 6 £2m players at GK, CB, 2 CMs and 2 STs and the squad would look infinitely healthier with infinitely less pressure on the signings and the team as a whole. No they wouldn’t have all come off but the chance of one providing excellent value outweighs that.
I’ve seen absolutely nothing so far to suggest he is £7.7m player or potential to be that quality. He looks like a 500k punt from a premier league development squad to me.I thought that was the direction we were going in with all the other signings up to unveiling Wright for nearly £8m.

He looks like he plays best with balls over the top/through balls to chase and with Eccles and Kelly he's got no chance of getting those to be fair. Without Sheaf as well you just need Ayari in a deeper position to set those up.I’ve seen absolutely nothing so far to suggest he is £7.7m player or potential to be that quality.

With a glaas half full, what I have seen him do well is make runs and be on the shoulder of the last defender ready to attack the space in behind and the ball has never been played. Playing the ball to him the way we did with Vik will make him continue to look distinctly average.He looks like he plays best with balls over the top/through balls to chase and with Eccles and Kelly he's got no chance of getting those to be fair.
