3? We won't get 1 in mate, absolutely guaranteed we're going in with what we've got.

With the right additions I think we could have challenged the top 6.

For my own sanity I've accepted we won't be going up this year. I knew TM wasn't the man to take us up before the transfer window but hoped he may pull it out of the bag with a couple of defensive signings ready to slot into the team. Instead he's ignored the glaringly obvious and it'll mean another year of treading water. In truth that's probably all we can hope for with our appalling owners but it still hurts. Football goes in cycles, I just hope I'm still interested when they slither out of town.

Tough to take that. Not good enough against one of the favourites for relegation. Trying to cling to the fact we lost our first two games in league one but in reality it's different. Tough run coming up as well so very concerning.

Agreed but it's too late now. He has a chance to sort it out at half time, very concerned if he doesn't.

Cue meltdown. TM needs to do the right thing at half time

2-1 Rovers, Brereton anytime scorer. Oh the start of the season. All sense goes out of the window and I've convinced myself we're going up automatically. Bloody love football and Rovers.

Yet if one of them told you they rated Mowbray highly as a manager you'd claim they had no idea what they're talking about no doubt.

How has he got Dack playing the best football of his career?

Strap yourself in for a disappointment until Venkys have slithered off then, skipper.

Life under Venkys mate, this won't change whilst they are here.

So dramatic. We'll be nowhere near relegation, granted we may not go up.

Hmm I'd really like to believe those clowns know who Gallagher is from the last time he was here, given that we're their "baby", but somehow I just don't believe it. Good connections though fair play.

Some questions; What qualifies as "better results"? As billionaire's you'd hope they have some grasp that some investments take longer to get a return on/make profit than others. You don't think we will see another big money buy for the future because of Brereton - what was Gallagher? I've read lots of opinions that Brereton was somewhat forced on TM by the fat one with the pony tail yet you're claiming they weren't fond of that deal. How do you know this?

Can you clarify exactly what Venkys have said to TM about Brereton? These clowns have no idea about what a good footballer looks like, so I find it a bit of stretch that they've given TM "flak" for a young lad that's not been given much a chance to shine as yet.

Agreed, lot's of ifs and buts from both of us. Perhaps it's worth seeing how he gets on first before making a judgement. If we're six games in and he's clearly no upgrade on Raya then TM has a lot to answer for.

Unless of course the replacement is an improvement and we end up in the play-offs. If budget would be better spent elsewhere there's no problem with this approach.

Madame is too busy plucking to sign it off

Are you on Love Island??? This would explain a few things ?

You can't be married.

Fair. I also have a feeling it's Carson rather than Hart. Happy with either

Source?

Sounds like the keeper could be coming in today or tomorrow, any ITK'ers know who it is?

Good that he blocked any move for Travis though

Agreed. Hard to stay patient and even though there is plenty of time left I worry TM hasn't got a plan outside of "wait till the last minute and hope clubs drop their pants" and we'll be scrabbling around in the last 24hrs ending up with players that we either don't need and/or aren't good enough.
