Oh yes my mistake! Think they'll finally come good next year, certainly got some squad depth for Watson to manage, just think Connor is probably regretting his move there. Doesn't look like player enjoying the game, could end up wasting the best years of his career, but , as good as he was for us, his ego is too big for our ethos.

Hope we can pick up a half back with a bit of pace who can exploit gaps.

I trust in whoever Tony Smith brings in. He’s a proper coach who’ll develop whoever he signs.

Yeah, he is literally what we have needed , since the Agar/Hetherington days, a coach who can improve even well established players and unite the whole squad.

That’s why the recruitment doesn’t concern me. Smith will develop anyone we bring in. Waited years for someone like him to be in charge.
Darnell McIntosh is a perfect example of the Tony Smith factor.

Such a shame. I was hoping to ask him what was more gut wrenching.

Hammered 50-0 in the most humiliating defeat in the history of the cup final or the agony of losing by a golden point.

Genuinely would love to know bless him.

Very big day for the Robins tomorrow. Keeping his powder dry.

As an unbiased neutral, for me it'd be the latter. They played awfully, yet stayed in the game , with a Golden Point specialist in the ranks, only for Lam to spoil the party. I was so upset for them all. No, really I was. Honestly..
