We still looked better with Neumann in there. You can’t dismiss the Cov game or Robinsons age

You can dismiss Robinson. The ref at Coventry certainly did.

Sums it up that Robinson was let go by the team who currently sit bottom of the league

If he isn't good enough for them he won't be good enough for us

So transfers only work if you sign players from teams above you in the league?

They were 3rd last year with him playing for them 34 times.
They gone down the drain since he left.
There may be other reasons as well.
But we have signed a player who has been a part of a PL and top Champion side for some seasons. We lack that experience.
Whether or not he works out for us is a different matter, but it's not like we signed a freebie from Sheffield Wednesday just to make up numbers

Robinson was decent v Swansea but I think Cov showed that he and Klarer together is a very slow CB partnership. Maybe won't be a problem v Wrexham, but having pace there is obviously an advantage. And the sending off also showed some poor judgement.

As long as Cashin doesn't start its a bonus I guess.

Can anyone explain why Davies is selecting even man and his dog in front of Neumann?

He's only been picked over someone else in 3 of the 8 games so far. It's not exactly like he's been put in the bomb squad.

He was very bad against us

😂

I can't deny that, he was bloody awful on Saturday.

I suspect Davies will want some continuity though, and just bring him back in.

I mean that is nonsense.

Laird is out and BOS is a doubt so I wouldn't be surprised to see Neumann at right back.

So get Phil training on the left side. His pace and the fact he's a big mobile effer would help no end.

Oh I agree. Just saying why Davies has tried others instead of just sticking with Neumann.

Impossible, someone on here said yesterday that they had it on good authority that he and CD had a massive bust up because Phil's Auntie and Uncle came over for the Swansea game and he didn't get on the pitch. So you can take that to the bank.

Because he wants Klarer in the right and a left footer on the left.

We tried Klarer on the left and it didn't work very well.

Why did we buy him then?

Exactly - too much money has been wasted on players we don't even need.
11 players is all you can play at a time, why sign more?

Yeah would expect this if no BOS. Robinson back from suspension to replace Cashin.

Robinson was solid against Swansea who are a much more accurate representation of the average championship team than Coventry, who are the leagues highest goalscorers and will most likely go up.

He will be fine. Neumann on the right I like the sound of. Will help set pieces in both boxes having another physical player.
