Not being argumentative at all, yes the Hyam timing could see us short, but the point still stands on all 3. -

I certainly donโt think the difference between Hyam and whoever fills his slot will be the difference between relegation or not - the difference-making will be at the other end of the pitch. He looked like he never wanted to be here from the off. Given he wanted to go, keeping an even more demotivated Hyam wouldnโt have ended well. Iโm far more upset we are relying on one young Icelandic striker. -

Wish I could, I was stupid enough to click onto something else. Iโd be very disappointed if thatโs actually Lyndsey. -

The idea that clearing out the decks was necessary after comfortably finishing 7th or 8th in 3 of the last 4 seasons is very odd to me. I don't understand the idea that we needed an "overhaul" when we finished 7th last season, barely missing out on the playoffs. You keep your core players and build around them. You identify areas in the first 11 that can be improved and sign players who should be able to push the team on. It's what we haven't done well enough over the past five or six years. We've mostly just signed players who have kept us at the same level, or more recently had managers able to squeeze as much as possible out of an increasingly limited squad. You don't sell all of your Championship experience and replace it with mostly cheap gambles from lesser leagues. That's a plan which has a miniscule chance of actually being successful. Selling a first team centre back with no replacement, even worse. I understand people want to have hope, but I can't see this transfer window as anything other than a catastrophe. -

โRecent Rovers 11โ: Kaminski Brittain. Hyam. Batth Beck Travis. Wharton A Dolan. Szmodics. Brereton Diaz Gallagher How many of those donโt get into our current starting line up? -

We have excelled at receiving good fees for our players this summer! Wrexham are overpaying for a mediocre defender and if we had replaced him then it would have been no big deal. Instead we are now just really low on defensive numbers. Itโs week 3 of the season and Wharton is the only available true centre back at Watford and he missed all of last season with injury. If any decision highlights where the owners/boards priorities lie then itโs this. Cash in and jeopardise the clubs chances on the pitch or protect the squad at all costs. Maybe we have a good freebie lined up, but I think we all know that wonโt happen. The only positive I can see is that there is literally nobody else to sell and maybe that means the owners will sell up after a colossal summer asset strip. Probably wishful thinking. -

I just can't see us surviving this season. This has to be one of the worst transfer windows ever. How can they be so irresponsible and gamble the clubs existence like that. These fuckers are in it for themselves and their pay checks / bonuses and back handed agent deals. We will go down and we won't come back up again under this ownership. It will take a miracle to avoid relegation as things stand. -

But not all at once, and not allowing this ridiculous amount of them to run down all at once either so there is insane turnover. And certainly not without replacing them all. -

Im sure you're deliberately missing the point just to be argumentative. There'd have been no issue whatsoever selling Hyam earlier in the window and replacing him with similar or better. To sell him in the last few hours of the window with no replacement whatsoever is suicidal. -

And in the case of goal and CB, whether their bodies hold up. You'd hope we'd be ok with Toth, but we are running a serious tightrope by having 2 of our 4 CBs be injury prone (and one not really a CB). -

For what????? Yes I think he will overall happy but not happy about Hyam going without being replacing him In a recent interview, he said they changed more of the squad and more of an overhaul of the squad. Only short at centre back for me. Baradji's loan is more of case of him proving himself. Smart move and wise. TGH is loan to buy. Maybe replacing Tronstad next season. You.and others wanted Rovers to sell players in the last 12 months of their contract like Rothwell, BBD. So we have done that with Brittain, Travis and Hyam. my biggest issue with selling Hyam is no replacement for him. If we spent 2m on replacing him then I would be still disappointed selling Hyam so late in the window but at least we would have a proper replacement Why wouldn't I? You losing key player and best CB without replacing him -
Had to Google him ๐

Top and bottom of it is, we've got enough players, it's just whether the new players prove good enough. They'll live or die by the results. -

Absolute disgrace.. Hyam was the difference between survival and relegation. Weโve sold him and not even replaced him? Absolute shambolic but it doesnโt surprise me unfortunately -

Way back when, Lynsey Talbot used to be John Williams' PA. If it's her as has been suggested on here, she should know a lot better frankly. It does illustrate the sordid depths the Club has sunk to though, whether or not the comment was said partly in jest. -

Lost for words this evening. Thought we had seen it all. Not any of the new lads fault, but we are down this season. That squad is frightening. This time I do not think we come back - who would have thought the days under TM would be as good as it got. Just numb. -

Slight correction - Ohashi was our top scorer. We've let our two joint 2nd top scorers leave. It really is stark when you spell it out like that though, yeesh
