Our best signings are probably the ones Robinson has never heard of, that way we don't get someone that used to be absolutely class but is now physically shagged
Most do. Not everybody is desperate for attention on an obscure Internet forum.
Obscure?
Egg and Spoon race?
I’m not suggesting it’s the same, but look at Liverpool without Van Dijk. It’s not too outlandish to suggest that losing a key player will hinder the progress of a team. I’m sure we can name many clubs that would suffer, due to a single player being unavailable for a long period of time. Of course, it’s squad game but the importance of certain individuals cannot be overlooked. Maguane, at the time of his injury, was well on his way to becoming one of our best players.
I'm not suggesting that losing one of your better players wouldn't have an effect - and of course with smaller squads probably even more so. But it's almost as if we have been trying to play the same way, with one of the important components removed - and it hasn't really worked.
I agree that we haven’t really changed our style of play, and I’m not too worried about that. I like the way we play, when we are able to do so! I think the fact it hasn’t worked, has to fall with some of the other players that have underperformed, or have been far too inconsistent for long periods. If we still had Magaune, would we be in a higher position? Absolutely.
The names may/may not be the same, but roles will be different, with new decision makers. So, in effect a new board. Did I say contract talks never take place outside of transfer windows? I said the transfer of players which robinson was talking about, the purchase of the player, when he should really have said nothing, even if talks are quietly ongoing.
Is Stevens Championship standard? Who said that, I must have missed it.
You always make lots of good points but I sometimes think you seek certainty where none is available. There is a lot of randomness in life. No one knew how Stevens would do till he was played - I expect Elliott Jackson looked good in training, but did you see his debut? He was petrified, and juggled the simplest ball. (This may be before your time).
Winnall? He is our player, unfortunately!!
I know , all three of them have played where our own younger players could have gained some experience and have stepped up or not as the case may be ...never play them you will never know .
