Callum Robinson

I thought he was still out from when he got injured in preseason? I could be wrong?

Started tonight vs Sheffield Utd in the Cup, his first game of the season coming back from a knock. Got the assist for the winning goal.

Anyone know why he is not in the squad tonight?

bruce never fancied him. could be on his way to preston, they have scored 1 goal in 6 games and probably need firepower

In talks with Cardiff according to Sky.

Bruce say's he had a hamstring issue last night

Good, he needs to go a team where he will start consistently - he's a confidence player and when he's on it, he can still be a useful player for us, even if his stock has fallen in recent times.

Stock has fallen but I can't help thinking it's self inflicted. Hes got talent, no question about that, he's been an important player for us and west brom but he seems to coast in games and as a result gets dropped.

Aye no doubt some of it is self inflicted. I think he just lacks a little bit of natural fitness/athleticism, yet he still needs regular game time to find his rhythm. He is talented on his day, so any move away from WBA to a team where he plays regularly has to be a positive for us. While we have plenty of young strikers coming through, CR7 has that bit of experience on his side and he has proven that he can score goals at Championship and International level. I think he will remain an important member of the squad, certainly for the next campaign.

Idah Dream!

A few other teams now linked to him as well, including Burnley, which would be an unexpected move up the table if it came about.

Shocked it would be a transfer rather than a loan. Making the right choice choosing Cardiff over Bristol and Burnley if reports of their interest were true. More likely to break into the Cardiff team.

They've looked decent at times compared to last season. Robinson might get thrown straight in if O'Dowda doesn't return for their game this weekend.

Hopefully the new LB isn't a patch on Collins who looked top class and Bagan gets his chance to play some meaningful minutes. If we do manage to qualify for the Euros next summer we'd want him starting games, whether at Cardiff or pushes for a loan in January.
