…“wagon wheels are still available, so, every cloud…”

The wagon wheels have totally melted fan base soon in meltdown

Unless 'being creative' is code for signing full-backs, I don't understand what Karl means here. Can anyone enlighten me?

I think we're going to spend some money to combine the parts of our broken players which actually work into some sort of Frankenstein player. Can't think what else that could mean.

Bringing in someone who’s really good at another sport and trying to convert them?

Shocked no one has mentioned one of Karl’s comments in his Radio Ox interview.

“We was possibly signing a new player last week but I stopped the deal as he’s been injured the last 6 months”

No joke

Is nobody going to address the elephant in the room..? ‘About a third of our budget on players who are injured’

Do elephants have hamstrings btw…?

Sounds like Todd Kane maybe.

I think people need to take a step back and get some perspective. Have the likes of Ipswich, Portsmouth, Peterborough, Plymouth and Sheff Wed had as chaotic a summer and shambolic start to the season as us? If not, why not? Is it really all down to bad luck or bad management?

Probably not long enough to be considered then!

Yeh heard that, but didn't come as a surprise. Pretty sure that was Todd Kane he was on about.

I think everyone knows who's at fault here but to many with tinted glasses on at the moment

Probably bollox

 

[brightonyellow]

One things for sure, don’t fancy signing Stockton. One good season for Morecambe doesn’t mean he’s the answer. Reason why championship clubs aren’t willing to part with the cash to sign him.

Wasn’t he referring to Jones?

 

[WEYellow]

From what I’ve heard the recruitment team are giving Karl quality options however he keeps being indecisive and we miss out on players who would help the team in a major way

Try again

Yes, I wasn't impressed with his attitude today. I'm sure if he wanted, he could have really changed the game. He looked more interested in having fight than actually getting on the ball and scoring.

... Just to say that for those who were bemoaning Gavin Whyte's misses last season, we could really do with his creativity at the moment. I think that Joseph is a bright spark, and we saw a better Matty Taylor today because of Joseph's play.

if 3-5-2 is to be our formation then we need:

RWB
LWB
DCM
ST

Problem is we have too many wingers for that…

Not at the moment, we don't!
If Jodi Jones can't even come on as a sub (and for whatever reason, KR clearly doesn't seem to think he can), we have a sum total of about 20 minutes football league experience available on the wings at the moment!

Sign the four positions you mention, and we'd be well set for 3-5-2. Frankly, we could cope without the DCM in that formation because McGuane and Cam Bran (with Gorrin & Bate as backup) are fine as a midfield two in front of a big and powerful back three. And we've got plenty of players who can play the #10 role, some of whom are even fit.

If the wing backs you sign can also play as regulation full backs, then if Murphy, Wildschut & Browne ever do come back at some point this season, then we would be able to revert to a 4-3-3 or similar.

But at the moment, our two best players are CMs, we have four decent CBs for a back three, and we have two fit strikers.....so we may as well play to the few strengths that this squad does have.

Such a worrying quote. Doesn't Robinson sanction every signing? Doesn't the recruitment team check injury histories?
