"If all goes to plan". Ha. Welcome to Venky's world, Duncan.

I said it the other day, but Olise is a shoe in for a huge move. Eze v likely too. That's their last two signings from the Champ. Wharton will likely go the same way if he keeps his head down in the capital.

Good win in the end, and like most, delighted to shut that lot up. I personally doubt that we’ll back this up in the league, but would love to be proved wrong. Anyway, at least we can enjoy tonights win for a few days and another cup run.

Blimey, their lad is making Whalstedt look like Friedel.

Indeed. Huddersfield just sacked a manager for winning 3 in 23, yet very recently he just claimed 4 points against us!!! We are absolutely fucking useless and I’m thinking more and more that we’re going to drop this season. I simply cannot see where a league win is coming from again. Just as I type this, Sammie scores. Just where would we be without him?!

I reckon one of them would be easier to patch up than these fucking morons.

It’s just rinse and repeat isn’t it? Same old shite, different day. We are so, so fragile.

As one or two others have said, I’d imagine if Chelsea sign him he’d be back out on loan (us hopefully) for at least the next six months. He had a fantastic game against them in the Cup - I sat with a couple of Chelsea mates and they were so impressed.

Very quietly surprised we may get Phillips over the line. He’ll be top quality at this level. That said, I’m not changing my stance from the other day; I can’t get excited about any signings until that lot have buggered off.

Indeed, what a show. Genuinely the first time I’ve been on the edge of my seat watching a programme. The last ten mins or so was just fabulous.

Pete OR can be hit and miss with Rovers, but he gets many before the likes of the LT reporter. Chances are that they are back in for him.

"The club"?! Don't be silly. "Their baby" more like. The only statement I ever want to see/hear from them is that they are f*cking off.

I'd wager it will be Wharton out and some untested kid brought in either very cheap or via ANOTHER loan. League One is impending this season or next unless the club is taken from them - make no mistake.

This is it. Whilst I'm sure Palace wouldn't be his #1 choice, he only needs to look at Olise and Eze to see that it can be a great move. Those two will be at a big six club within the next 1 year - 18 months (indeed Olise should have been there in the summer, but chose to stay at Palace).

They were still actively looking at him as of a month or so ago. I'm sure they can wangle it if they really wanted to via their Saudi feeder club income(!).

Surely Palace would hang fire on this with Woy under serious pressure.

I know through a contact that the Newcastle interest is 100% genuine. Whether they actually bid for him in this window, we'll have to wait and see.

Our odds of relegation this season look more tempting by the day. Still can’t quite bring myself to do it.

Good luck to the lad. I think in time he’ll make it at that level - great attitude and athlete.

Jesus Christ. We’ve had some very favourable fixtures in those ten matches too. Open eyes time for the blue & white tinted glasses brigade.

Completely agree. But we still had the steel and grit with the likes of Berg, Flitty, Short etc.

There’s a million questions which need answering right now, but another one to add to the list is why on earth we’ve brought in this second Brighton kid who clearly can’t be up to much and/or JDT doesn’t fancy. We’re just stockpiling other clubs youngsters regardless of if they’re good enough or if we even need them.

The next couple? We’d barely get 30 points next season with more players sold and more kids on loan brought in. Bring on administration, honestly, anything to get rid of them.

1 win in 10 in the league. Absolutely dire. Again.

The club are fortunate that apathy reigns supreme across the fan base otherwise the boos would be big at FT.
