You are one of those hesitators....if nobody else is doing it then it must be shit ...🤷‍♂️ what a load of cobblers.  The lad was world class and is only 32

His not played for 18 months! No pre season, nothing, will take him minimum 3-4 months to get upto speed and thats if he doesn't get injured.

Mowbray did say pre-match that he doesn’t have a plan for Mitrovic. True to his word anyway given Nyambe was marking him on corners. 
 

That is pathetic. Stuart Downing just highlighting on Sky sports that Lenihan is the best headerer of the ball and should have been marking Mitrovic

Why is Nyambe marking Mitrovic?!? Surely you put Lenihan or Van Hecke on him?!?

The classic just outside the playoffs performance from Mowbray…

Unacceptable from Lenihan the captain and Mowbray as the manager. Mitrovic didnt even need to jump past nyambe!

If the fans understand than Lenihan or Van Heck should be marking mitrovic why not our players/manager?

Disappointing to concede in that manner

Why does carter keep going up? Dont like the shape, too much tinkering 

Gallagher upfront anyone?

Are Extending Highlights of the game available anywhere?

Used to be able to watch in Ifollow.

Has anybody tweeted Suhail Pasha or got a response from him?

Gallagher can score goals if he is played as a number 9 and given the service.

Reason we signed is because he did so well for us in his loan spell. 

Watch this clip for a reminder:

TM is simply not getting the best out of him. It wouldn't hurt to let him play as the number 9 even if it is off the bench for the last 30 mins in a game.

Would love for us to a grind out an ugly 1-0 win. Not bothered if we dont play well or not. Need to be organised, men behind the ball. Cant have the full backs bombing forward leaving gaps behind. Some how I dont think this will happen!

JRC was weak link but not his fault he was asked to play LB.

We've had such treacherous luck with both bell and Douglas out at LB. Then Ayala and Kaminski out too!!

Kaminski, ayala, douglas, johnson, travis, dack, rothwell are 7 first team players out!

Cant wait for international break to come. We will be better when we have a more settled side. We need to try and get through next 2 games and try and GRIND out at least 1 win!

TM "we couldn't handle their physicality " so WHY start JRC a kid at RB when we have nyambe a beast on the bench? 

Oh yes, he couldn't possibly drop JRC because he had a good game against a 10 men league 1 side on Saturday. 

It's so obvious to many on here that it just makes sense to play Nyambe when we face the better teams and we can play JRC against poorer teams who are likely to sit back!

Lenihan not as good as many think he is.

I feel we have a great team and chance of promotion. TM needs to start setting up the team right from Saturday. We HAVE to become difficult to beat, cant keep conceding silly goals!!

Lenihan own goal was a direct result of nyambe giving the ball away 30 seconds earlier! He played a 5 yard pass behind Holtby when under no pressure!

Dont know if anybody noticed this, but it was criminal.

That was a game in which we needed Dack. Even Holtby, rothwell and travis would have made a huge difference.

But poor by Johnson, epitomised the team play, little urgency, lack lustre, not enough aggression and desire to try and score. 

It was almost as if we had given up!

Naive we should have at least had a draw. Lessons to be learned for this young team!

Two teams effectively cancelling each other out. Johnson and Evans been poor, Buckley some good forward passes. I don’t think the RW combo of Dolan and Nyambe works: Dolan can set Nyambe free but the guy can’t cross; Nyambe hasn’t the guile to set Dolan free. Armstrong nowhere to be seen.

Absolutely spot on! when JRC played at RB he picked out dolan numerous times setting up attacks. Dolan and Armstrong need some service and balls played in front of them to run onto. 

Douglas, Ayala and Kaminski bring a wealth of experience to the back line, hopefully more organisation, clean sheets and more 3 points!

I'm actually flabbergasted that no premier league team is taking Josh King?! 

There are a number of teams who are crying out for a player like him! 

Spurs desperate for a striker and will probably get him cheap on last day of transfer window.

Bell skinned already.

Tough afternoon ahead for bell facing stanislas, will need brereton to help him out there

Part of me still think we'll get him. If West Brom haven't tied him down quickly, surely we've still a chance?

Why are WBA dragging their heels? It should have been done by now. Maybe WBA stalling as they have other irons in the fire? Here's hoping!

Cedric Kipre will do well with Lenihan as partner. Could be a bargain and make room for Cunningham too. 

Anybody know where the kipre links are from?

And yet most other owners of Championship clubs have made money available. Maybe not millions for transfer fees but enough to enable competitive signings to be made and wages committed to.

What's the use in Venkys if we can't even sign a goalkeeper?

Venkys have backed mowbray for the last 3 years! 12 million on Gallagher and Brereton last year plus paying wages for a bloated squad! 

That money could and should have been spent wisely in purchasing a GK and CB these two positions were just as much a priority last summer as they are today!

Now with the impact of coronavirus I wouldn't blame venkys for tightening the belt.

If fans are looking to vent or point a finger of blame it should be in tony mowbray direction!

Just now, Richard Oakley said:

Agree with you, if he's available on a free. That's one simple phone call or email to find out. Could we afford to pay him 20k a week? Does he represent an upgrade on JRC playing there as temporary cover?

I reckon Upto million for Cunningham would represent good value for money

Lindsay would cost too much, if Stoke want back what they paid for him. I'd go for Phillips as our No 1, raid Wigan for Marshall, Robinson and Kipre. I'd go for Joe Williams, too, but I doubt the budget would be there for that. Heck, even thinking we'd have a budget is a bit of a stretch, right now. Nabi Sarr, too, is available on a free, if we wanted to bring 2 CBs in.

We should be raiding wigan, they are selling club and have some decent players

Stoke fans don't rate Lindsay. Our fans, in the main, rate Nyambe, King and Raya. Stoke want to sell, not loan.Loans cost money, too. Cunningham would need to be available on a free,which I don't see as likely.

Cunningham is a massive upgrade on bell and Williams. We should definitely be looking at this one imo.
