Absolute disgrace.. Hyam was the difference between survival and relegation. We’ve sold him and not even replaced him? Absolute shambolic but it doesn’t 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

Our fan base are ridiculous imo. Calling players snakes. Focus on the issue. It's not the players.

It’s timing though. Selling an ever-present CB in the last hour with no replacement is just shocking management from the board - regardless on thoughts of Hyams ability / leadership

The only positive I can take from all this shite is that at least the new squad have a couple of weeks to get their shit together. What it will look like? I've no idea but it will be "exciting" 🙄

Your Twitter spat with Privy tonight is an absolute beaut!!

Travis, Brittain, JRC, Leonard, Buckley, Dolan, Batth (English) and Hyam (Scottish). Weimann the only non-British sale from the squad.

Always had a season ticket for years and supported the club since I was a toddler, my lads six and has never been to the ground and never will be going while Venkys are here, not putting him through the pain of this team. Hopefully he becomes a Liverpool fan like his other side

There does seem to be a lot of uproar from the same people who've been calling Travis, Britain and Hyam 3 of the "rubber dinghy men " for the last couple of seasons. There's no doubt some on here rate them a lot higher since we sold them. 🤔

Far as I see it, we are now woefully short in: Goal - Pears is here but seemingly won't play any time soon, so if anything happens to Toth (injury, loss of form) we are probably relying on Michalski, who is enormously inexperienced and in his one showing so far, quite frankly looked shocking. CB - McLoughlin (banned next game), Wharton (just recently back off a huge injury layoff, and has had injury problems before), Carter (also injury prone) and after that we are relying on players who aren't CBs (Miller possibly an exception but I believe hasn't played there tons) to fill in. Wings - Hedges (shit despite a great game lately, seen enough), Kargbo (fast and can cause problems, still having end product issues), Morishita (could be a good one), De Neve (really a wingback and works hard but doesn't create much). After that you're wedging in players who don't really play there. Arguably wing isn't too horrendous if Kargbo and De Neve can come good, but there's a lot of scepticism about that. Striker - nobody proven to be able to score even 10+ goals at this level. I mean you could even argue CM is lacking enough quality, unless Tavares steps it up and Baradji comes back from injury and is a beast. Possibly I'm feeling too down about things after the disgraceful sale of our main CB on deadline day with no replacement, and some of these players could come good and assuage these concerns, but there is a lot to be anxious of.

Oh come on. I dont like him or particularly rate him but you're surely not going to defend the decision to replace him in the last few hours of the window without any sort of replacement, let alone a comparable one. You've been watching football long enough to know better than that.

Thanks all for the experience but I'm genuinely done for the foreseeable. All the best.

I have the same feelings. Rovers supporter for over 30 odd years and this lot running the show have sapped the last of my enthusiasm this summer. I understand we should be getting behind these new signings, but losing Brittain, Batth, Dolan, Trav and now Hyam is too bad. Most other clubs in this division would have tied them up to longer contracts and strengthened to compete. We are League One next season without question. We haven’t got a good enough squad. Players will be played out of position and as we saw when he arrived, when the going gets tough, Ismael hasn’t a clue. I imagine that purple patch towards the end of last season was the players putting themselves in the shop window. Our demise this season will be tragically embarrassing.

Tronstad still here but your point is still valid

That's because England have some decent players

That ‘Privy’ account has lost its marbles at Josh 🤣

Hope so

Le Tournoi !

Leaving aside everything we know of the last 15 years, the absence of any interest/desire of the owners, the revolving door of nonentities in the C-suite, the parade of managers, the most notable feature of the window for me is the number of established players who wanted to go elsewhere. The Lemon Drizzle club atmosphere is now clearly a thing of the past (it’s demise being initiated by a demanding JDT) I am perhaps in a small minority in not seeing the loss of Dom Fucking Hyam as a catastrophe (or at least as a bigger one than anything that preceded it). The Preston og, the shrinking violet needing his dad alongside him, the Turf Moor 0-3 pussy, the “calm down”. I’ll not miss him no matter who has to fill in for him.

In my eyes we've gone from "battling relegation and likely to go down" to "we'll be lucky to match Rotherham's worst total" with this squad. We were in a position where we may be able to nick some points here and there on the back of the defence. We're now going to get some serious pastings I expect.

Don't blame you, however you profess to be mad keen on England and they've won fuck all since 1966!

In one transfer window we've sold or let go: Our player of the year Our club captain Our vice captain Our top scorer Our 2nd top scorer Our main CB EXCITING SUMMER 🤯

A disastrous window. We really are in trouble. Will Ismael put up with this? Will Pasha make Gestede the scapegoat when we are rooted in the bottom three? 'Exciting' times ahead.
