    As for Dike, what little we have seen of him might suggest that he could be a useful addition for us next season. I know that a lot of our problems with lack of goals stems from lack of creativity in midfield but don't have much faith in the Grant/Robinson combination up front -especially Robinson- and Dike should offer a more physical presence. At least he has chosen to remain here (as he should!) rather than return to the States to recuperate. Rumours also of Val wanting him but can't see it and tbh I think the club would be daft to consider it.

    Does Robinson ever get his shorts dirty? Nearly always goes missing! Need a creative midfielder desperately as Livermore and Molumby are slower than a pensioner in a wheelchair!

    Can't disagree! Whatever happened to the Robinson of old? He's only what, 27? Never a great player but when you look back at the goals he got against Chelsea for example just shows current lack of passion as well as drop in quality.

    If we cannot get a decent midfielder with a bit of creativity we will struggle. In the meantime just have to hope TGH can do a job for us there and that a Dike/Grant partnership up front will be more fruitful.

    Think Dike will be useful! Grant goes missing too many times also - 18 million for f uck sake!

    We are an average championship side now as shown against Bristol so why would we be any better next season with three decent teams coming down?
