At the time I thought he could be a good addition, and give us a presence in the box we massively lacked. Big and strong. However, after only a couple of games it was glaringly obvious he would never be up to the standard needed both technically and football brain. Lucky to get a fee for him, not that it would be re-invested anyway.

So you think another guy would have us much further in the table and more points away from the bottom 3 with this squad and injuries? Ain't you always calling most the players in the squad shit?

‘The market is tough. Everyone is looking for more firepower. Before Swansea is now the aim.’

All of the usual excuses coming up. Injuries, abandonments, bad luck, if we had more goals. He obviously is well down the list of problems but he is a problem nonetheless.

They wont.

Good riddance to a terrible excuse for a striker.

Another great comment from him back in October - "we haven't lost any quality" Page 114/115 of this thread if anyone wants to look back.

Still no reply to the coalition open letter from either the Owners or those running the circus down Ewood way...not even recognition of our concerns. A total two fingered salute to the supporters,they give not a flying fook what we say or do. They are not fit to run this Club.

There isnt any money per se, like at every other Championship club. Every club needs an owner/benefactor model, ours won't spend the money needed to be continually competitive in this league.

He also called supporters stupid for saying the squad is weaker

Which he should have said, but instead he called fans stupid for suggesting the squad is weaker

Good luck to him. It didn't work out on the pitch but he won't be forgotten off the pitch. I think we were lucky to get as much as we did for him. I hope the recruitment team take this as a lesson learnt when it comes to future signings.

Where has all the money gone?!

Didn't ismael say that earlier in the season about some of the players? He certainly was critical of Taveres He said something along the lines of they have had their settling in period and now we need to see improvement

The point you were replying to initially was about the new manager saying the squad is shite. What you're saying now isn't exactly the same...but players can read between the lines and would know they're being told they're not good enough players.

I think we just look at them as mainly U18 games, (plus a few from the U21s), considering our competitors in that competition are Preston, Blackpool etc who are nowhere near PL2 level U18s only play in their league of 14 teams, so 26 games in that, + the Youth cup, and a local Lancashire cup. So I don't think burnout from too many games is much of an issue

The pathetic penny pinching nature of this club screams out that we couldn't sign a striker until somebody took Gueye of us. All on the chumps running recruitment now.

Gestede: Hold my beer!

Now that's gone through there's really no excuses for having a striker in for the weekend.

'These lads need to improve if we're to be successful' Is that demoralising?

Roy Orbison - Only the Lonely

No argument from me that Eustace Is a far better manager But when he was here with a much more experienced squad when injuries hit key players he also struggled to win matches
