I've a question, why don't he take his long throws from the right hand side when needed?

 

[NerdyBlade]

New 2 Year deal signed - sure it will divide the fanbase but I'm happy he's staying - doesn't shirk a challenge!

Yay

 

[Chengdu Blade]

 

[Balboni]

Ok. Fine. As back up.

 

[Wards]

Solid

Sound like my missus when I'm telling her we not having Lurpak we having Flora.

 

[Aml-blade]

Great news, hopefully his will be one of the positions we upgrade on over the summer, but as backups go he'll do fine and I won't be upset if he ends up getting minutes here and there.

The Clover I bought from Sainsburys Local went down like a cup of cold sick when Mrs B saw it in the fridge.

 

[mattbianco1]

Happy with that. Last season and half he's turned his game around.
He's never going to be a World Beater, but his aggression will be a big factor for us seeing games out.

Same as Baldock, although Baldock is a proper baller!

 

[Houston_Blade]

Looks like he's been crying!

 

[Badger Blade]

If he'd signed elsewhere, I wouldn't have had any sleepless nights about it but from JLT's perspective, he's been a regular starter in a promotion winning team that conceded less than a goal a game so probably deserves his shot.

 

[Eza Blade]

GU ON ROBBO YA BIG LOBBER OF A TOGGA YOU !!!!

 

[S40BLADE]

Good depth and more then fine at prem level for a game here and there. Hopefully we sign a left sided anel type to start though.

 

[3Cheers4Ramirez]

Good. Ridiculously under appreciated player. People act like he was just a fill in at LCB who we got by with, maybe despite of. In reality he was crucial

 

[Stretch]

Good news as I am sure he will have had other offers, but deserves a go at the top level imo.

So that's a new defensive coach, a few (imo) stalwarts extending contracts and credible rumours of 4 in-coming players very soon.

Things are gradually getting going again.

 

[Millhousesblade1889]

Good enough as a back-up. I just dont think we can rely on his as our first choice especially with Lowe next to him. We conceded so many down that side last year (probably more Lowe's defensive vulnerability than Robbos)

 

[bladesmanluke]

This is good news. We've gone from a 2 man to a 3 man squad for season 24-25

 

[Snowflake]

This is good news. We've gone from a 2 man to a 3 man squad for season 24-25

I think you may have overlooked a dozen or so who will still be here for that season (?)

 

[bladesmanluke]

Senior players?

 

[Snowflake]

Senior players?

They will be by then if not already.
Some who may be out of contract by then will not be attracting PL clubs so will probably stay.

 

[3Cheers4Ramirez]

The blocks I'd expect us to have in place for 2024/25 are;

Wes
----- / Egan / Robinson
Baldock or Bogle / ----- / ----- / RND
----- / -----
McBurnie

Which means we should at least have a solid team. But that still depends on 2 or 3 more extensions

 

[S40BLADE]

Now do Egan PRONTO

 

[Addison]

Looks like the stand off worked for him and he got a 2 year deal instead of one. Good back up but we desperately need a quality LCB. 6 foot plus left footed and good in the air.

 

[Rodley]

Can only be a backup at Premier League level other wise we’re going to get heavily targeted down the left side.

 

[Badger Blade]

Good enough as a back-up. I just dont think we can rely on his as our first choice especially with Lowe next to him. We conceded so many down that side last year (probably more Lowe's defensive vulnerability than Robbos)

I'd sooner have JLT and RND as a combination down the left if RND can get back to full fitness. Pair of nasty buggers who you'd encounter at your peril. Lowe's a bit of a wet lettuce IMO.

 

[Berkshire Blade]

When he makes a mistake that I rarely saw at three levels below the conference level just imagine me going "knew it"

He wouldn't get in any other premier league squad.

 

[andy m]

Meh

 

[Balham]

Looks like the stand off worked for him and he got a 2 year deal instead of one. Good back up but we desperately need a quality LCB. 6 foot plus left footed and good in the air.

Probably the trade off from Robinson was to accept reduced playing time this season: I'd expect either RND or a new signing to be first choice. Having Robinson as a back up makes complete sense though.
