There was 3 major fundamental errors Rudkin and Top made which led to our downfall. -Giving Rodgers a contact at the level they did without any clauses in it. -Giving Rodgers so much power with player aquasitions. -Giving the players the contracts they did without any clauses in them. They were all born out of ambition, but it could be argued they wasn't ambitious enough. We needed signings in those january transfer windows to strengthen to stay in the top 4 and didnt. Clubs like Newcastle and Villa have demonstrated how difficult it is to challenge and stay at that level, this is not to excuse Rudkin and Aiyawatt.

Tielemens would probably have signed a new contract and kept himself fit, rodgers wouldn't have downed tools, we wouldn't have gone for the players we did, we wouldn't have got relegated

Just got back in, totally she'll shocked. Up there with worst performances ever. RM made a complete idiot of himself in post match interview. We really nees to hope that RM looks at playing a different way

I just wanted to see him get the ball more often. Is he the archetype of a pacey winger, or is he something different? I don't know, he was highly rated at his previous club, we do have a habit of playing players in ways that doesnt suit their style (ayoze perez). I'm not saying he was great first half, but he had limited opportunities

I dont know what people are watching but he's not getting the ball early enough or it being played into the space for him to run onto

Do we think it would be easier to play as a striker for Bristol in Championship or Leicester in League 1?

Tbf when he played against us last season he looked good, or maybe it was us being so bad

We have so many new players in the team, and we're trying to find patterns of play, runs etc Saying that, I am concerned about our injured Chaplin who will be key and our striker probably needing a season to get the English game

Whilst if we were in.the championship i'd be happy with this, i cant help but think he improved us on saturday when he played. I'd much rather see Skipp go

Whose the worst midfield signing, Soumare, Skipp, Lewis or Silva?

Keep thinking about when Stowell was on WYS talking about how Plymouth tried to play football and got smashed for a few weeks then had to change tactics pretty quickly, thing that worries me is we aren't going to do that are we?

I am very worried. Burton just looked better than us, it looked men against boys. It is abundantly clear, if you want to play this style, you need certain players with certain abilities in every part of of the pitch. Look at Enzo's system, when we lost Ricardo, and replaced him with hamza, the whole system fell apart. As Pipes said, we are 4/5 players short of playing this style, and with what we have, can we play in any other way? Very worrying indeed. I want to add, I don't think this is Martin's fault. This is the way he is employed to set us up, but he hasn't been given enough. Skipp, Faes, Okoli, Thomas, Soutar, possibly hamza should all be gone by now. Tbf today I thought hamza looked okay, but we need these high wage players gone

Sorry if its already been covered, but this is our first year renewing ST's. Dad had a card last year, he's just told me he doesnt know what to do. Does anybody know what happens with the cards?

We can't control what the club decide to pay out. I've just decided this season not to bitch and moan about player wages, something i can't control. £20k is a lot for lge 1 but I think we're going for it, shit or bust, and the fee was pretty low at £75k. I want us to go for it.

Its a smart move, he knows how to play with Chaplin. Moaning about a 3 year contract, he probably wouldnt have signed for us for anything less. I think our business has been smart
