It's scarily inaccurate.

Oh well if he's as good as two players I've never heard of he must be a 50 million quid player like they say. Glad he's doing well there, hopefully he's finally ready to kick on with us in January or the summer. We've been waiting long enough, and had what, 3 managers in his time who didn't fancy him? We paid 500k for him for a reason, has to be a player in there.

Quality is worrying, Forshaw signing is becoming weirder by the day, where the hell is he?

Somewhere there will be a little X to click to close the ad. It might be a black X on a very dark background though…🤦‍♂️

Fear not. Im sure John Fleck will be available.

Can bin off the last two, maybe last three, for me. To say Forshaw looks the best of those three is scary. For me a midfielder is an absolute must. What do they do if Tronstad is out for a bit like last season??

Then if we get to November/December and we're struggling it'll be - "it's OK, let's see who we sign in January" then if we bring a few in it'll be "They need a bit of time to gel" as well.

Mowbray said the owners are nice caring people. All the evidence shows they are the opposite of that. What people say and impressions people get often don't correspond to actions and what happens.

I posted my opinion. I'm not telling you what to do if that's how it came across. I think it's daft to take an opinion as an instruction. Take it lightly. They are just my thoughts.

We arnt signing another CM when we have Baradji, Tronstad, Tavares, Montgomery and Forshaw.

I'm not sure he would, certainly the installation of Gestede (no track record or experience) by persons unknown happened 2-3 months after Eustace arrived. When Eustace got the job officially Broughton was still Director of Football yet appears to have been a lame duck from January 2024 onwards and by most accounts Waggott was the one who gave Eustace the job. It's little wonder we are the shambles we are when you look at the number of different people and jobs there have been making decisions. Even in the last 18 months we've had Waggott, Pasha, Gestede, Broughton, JDT, Eustace and Ismael all applying their own thoughts and plans, and probably others in the background we don't get to know about. I don't think it is much of a stretch to imagine Eustace was told one thing when he joined in February 2024 and by the summer with Gestede in the driving seat something completely different was being pursued. Agree he will have known before he took the job what a shambles the club was and the ferocious appetite it had for cost cutting.

That’s what you’re doing to be fair. ‘Judge him after x amount of games’. So, no discussion in the meantime? T-Minus 90 days until we can discuss how we think Ismaël is doing, Goozburger said so. Just as you’ve the right to think we should be patient, other people have the same right to think we can give a view on him now. He’s been here what, 7 months now?

Gudjohnson first goal of the game and doing the helicopter celly lol

Plus i think Ismael has no time for him at all since he came in. Now we have Gudjonsen in I would not be surprised if we never see Gueye again.

Totally agree, we definitely need an experienced cm. If you can’t control midfield you tend to lose games.

On Ismael - he gives me Jim Iley vibes. Always has. The guy absolutely no-one wanted before he was appointed, and performing accordingly.

With the length of contract he has and the people who brought him in running the whole show he could well be similarly un removable and he knows it.

Listening to Elliot Jackson he said he doubted we would get a CM in. Feels like while we maybe just about have the numbers there (Tronstad, Tavares, Baraji, Montgomery) only one of them is definitely good enough. The other three all unproven, Tavares really struggling and Baraji injured. To survive 3 games a week we will be using all four of them. If we aren't signing another only other option is to put Cantwell in that pool and use one of our many other number 10s.

Got to wonder how they’ll reflect on finishing midtable come the end of the season after that outlay

They are ALL confidence players. When faced with adversity and a run of poor results, heads tend to go down, rather than these pampered primadonnas pulling up their socks and girding their loins. However, such is the nature of the game of association football, it can happen that a team on a downer meets another in an even worse state (e.g. Hull vs Rovers last week) and that can be enough to create a pattern interrupt that begins to spiral upwards, although apparently not in our case, based on yesterday's ragbag result. Anyway, the boss has a couple of weeks solid time with the lads to drill something into them, around whatever the new master plan happens to be. Let's hope that is long enough for some mettle to gel in the ranks. Buckle up Dorothy, Kansas is about to go bye bye...!

They're looking at Robert's on a permanent as well, that would be an unreal signing if they pull it off.

There's no problem with people having completely differing views on a message board, thats what it's all about, but your problem appears to be you can't be civil to those who dont have the same point of view as you.

No wonder Eustace left us, they've spent an absolute fortune this summer.

BBD would only be a good signing because are wingers are terrible atm, not good enough to play up top and doesn’t track back as a winger, one season wonder
