Then a contract extension for Forshaw. It's easy this head of football malarky.

It seemed obvious to me that Hyam needed a strong player next to him. He was a different player when he was asked to lead. Regarding Batth, perhaps it's one season too many and he should have retired. He's 35 this month.

I think that says more about how our collective standards have slipped.

I've been hoping for that for almost 15 years!

The most disappointing thing about this is that Hyam wasn't even that good unless he was alongside someone capable. Then he became a decent defender but still wasn't fit to lace the boots of many others that have played CB for us. Batth was the better player of the two. Yet Gestede, the (dick) Head of Football has somehow managed to turn an average player leaving into a crisis.

He knows Balaji Rao and his people and has done for about 14 years. Balaji made himself quite accessible during the times of protest. I know that J*B and a few others met with him in Manchester but when they got there he wouldn't say anything on the record. I was supposed to be there but was working. Shebby Singh was the same. Jordan Rhodes was pretty much a Glen Mullan signing.

I agree but the patience of fans has been severely tested for much longer than VI's reign so you can't blame anyone for being pissed off. Only recently we've gone from a journey to a project and now we're in a transition.

They've had almost 15 years!

He wouldn't have kept passing to the opposition as Tavares did.

That was a painful watch all round, we were awful and Norwich should have been in front but for terrible finishing. Then we had a man sent off and the referee gave them a dodgy pen which should have been a free kick. We played better when Taveres went off and should have scored a couple of goals only for terrible finishing by Kargbo and Hedges. Tavares, Kargbo and Gueye all looked like they'd won a competition. Then we conceded another goal at the death by backing off. The only positives I can find are that Cantwell battled hard and Ryo looked good in the limited time we saw him, very quick and a good crosser.

Rovers players take note, you won't score if you don't take a shot.

I'm surprised he hasn't gone, it was obvious he wasn't rated by VI last season.

And Kargbo.

Ryo looks good.

Wouldn't it be lovely to have a prolific striker up front for once. Four years since Armstrong left.

Ohashi should have done better than that.

Hedges now unable to get the ball over the line that's about half a yard away from him. Right at the goalie.

Another cheap signing unsuited to the championship.

Kargbo is fucking terrible to miss that.

I'm just seeing a bunch of cheap replacements giving the ball away repeatedly without any semblance of gameplan.

I'm watching and we're even worse than the stats suggest.

Yep he starts falling outside of the box.

Tavares and Kargbo have been awful. We look a bad team, I can't think of a single positive. We're only 1-0 down because of terrible finishing from the likes of Sergeant and co. As for the penalty, you can't put your hands on someone. Sergeant dived but referees aren't the sharpest bunch.

Let's not mention what we spent on Christian Dailly 😩

£4.25m for Blake and then Brian Kidd came along and spent £4.25 on Ward 🫣
