Buckley. The problem with a lot of the squad is the lack of pace. We'd still be caught out in L1 unless we make some signings.

Yet Useless will pick Pears and Hyam for the coventry game. Any other club they would be out of the team straight away. There's just no accountability at the club top to bottom.

One thing is for certain, this bunch of bottle jobs won't have the stomach for the fight out of league one again. No fighters like mulgrew, smallwood, dack this time.

Clearly under investment overall, but crucially awful investment of the small amounts we have spent, that is down to GB. Also poor management of assets we did have. Who wouldn't swap Nyambe and Bell for the dross we have at full back now? both being criticised and frozen out.

The owners gave Broughton £1million and he spent it on Wahlstedt.

We know he's working with a useless, spineless squad, but what's worrying is the endless positive rubbish he comes out with after performances like that. He's been in football long enough to know it is going to annoy the fans. He obviously doesn't care what the fans think of him. We have been here before (Kean, Coyle), and it is worrying. He's a yes man to Waggott end of. He's been put in as a shield to Waggott and will Inevitably start taking flack if/when things don't improve. One more layer between waggot/GB and the fans' anger.

Only 1 player in the starting XI from the last 2 transfer windows. Sums up Broughton's contribution to our current situation.

"Feels like a home game" says the sheff wed player. Well done waggot.

JE isn't out on the pitch. The effort and individual performances have been pathetic. Best thing he could do is come out and slate the players for this. Distance himself.

Gallagher on a cool 0.1 goals per game in the league this season.

Is Gallagher on the pitch?

Said it before. With the exception of Smodikcs, the rest of them are a disgrace to the shirt. Massive game like this and they bottle it.

Gallagher is absolutely shocking. How he is earning a living from being a footballer is unbelievable.

This is the crux of it. The club has a culture of failure from the top down. No surprises that the losing mentality is firmly embedded in the squad. No-one at the club cares about their standard of work, because their bosses never hold them to account. Until venkys go, this will just carry on. The club deserve to be relegated because it is run with such little care, that's the sad thing about it.

Every player on that pitch was a disgrace to the shirt. There's 3 or 4 who should never wear it again. In a proper job, they'd be sacked. No doubt PE teacher will put his arm round them.

Made me laugh when GB said we'd played particularly well when we went to 4 at the back v Boro, which was of course a forced change from the usual 5. I don't think he is a JE fan.

Decent questions from Andy, but he should have pushed on the Maguire error. GB said that after 2023 issues they got the Directors and recruitment team in the same room for 2024. So then HOW does such an error happen on the biggest transfer of the whole window? You'd have 3 or 4 people looking over the shoulder whilst the info was submitted. Answer: it didn't happen. It is just a lie. Anyone try to do a £3m+ corporate acquisition deal with 2 other 3rd parties will know there will be multiple lawyers, agents, banks etc crawling all over the execution with multiple controls at every step (they all want to get their %share of the deal!) Personally I believe they were trying to offload Gallagher on the final day, and when that didn't go through they pulled the Maguire deal. I've some sympathy with GB because he is powerless, and at least fronts up for interviews.

The "human error" excuse is clearly a cover up. Thing that shocked me was we had a permanent deal agreed for £2.5m for Maguire, Venkys mess around with the Wharton deal, tell Orlando it is off, then a week later we're paying £3.5m for Maguire (plus probably a loan fee)! TBH I am sympathetic to whoever pulled the deal. Especially in hindsight Eustace might not want to sign him anyway.

Tyler Morton (yes him) actually started in CM last week for the u21s. A.Wharton wasn't even in the squad originally, get your head around that! The England setup is far too biased to big clubs. There's no way Morton would be anywhere near the squad if he was a permanent Hull player, rather than on loan from Liverpool.

GB has been in charge for the last 3 windows, which have all been disasters. There's only so much blame shifting he can do as DOF the responsibility lies with him. I'm more convinced than ever that the Maguire transfer was pulled deliberately by suhail/Waggot. The interview didn't press GB on why extra controls weren't put in place after last year. No mention of the crazy decision to loan out Travis. No mention of why sign injury prone Fleck. No mention of why we (still) haven't signed a striker. No scrutiny over previous windows - Walhsted/teleovic Nothing on Dolan contract.

Carter is also injured. The squad is poor compared to the top 6/8, but has more quality than most of the teams at the bottom, if motivated and organised properly.

Finishing a must-win game passing the ball between THREE centre halves is enough. Said it many times, but Gallagher on the pitch makes us far worse. JE OUT is the only chance of survival this season.

These players aren't playing for him, that's for sure.

So basically all week on the training ground they've been working on hoofing it long to Pickering who is up against someone a foot taller than him. Brilliant.

Get Ayari and Markandy on. Can't be any worse than this.
