The more I think about it, a poor start to the season may be a good thing in the long run as King rat would love nothing better than to hide behind some good results just as he’s close to the brink.

I always knew the bloke was blind as well as dumb.

Let’s wait and see once Travis is out of the door.

We better hope he comes good as he’s no doubt already been brought in as Trav’s replacement.

He does realise you need to shoot if you hope to draw a game when you’re 1-0 down, let alone win it. Right?

Also, what’s the point in bringing in all this height with our recruitment if not one player can beat the first man with a set piece? We’ve been so bad at them for so long it’s infuriating.

I thought Hedges and Dolan were a poor pairing at this level but Hedges and De Neve look like taking it to new heights. We could have played til Christmas 2026 and not scored.

Batth’s loss this season is going to be monumental.

Glen how close to the edge do you think Suhail is?

Another in an extremely long list of decent players and managers who believed that their future was better suited away from the club and it’s shambolic ownership.

‘If the money is reinvested’. You would have thought our fans would have learned by now.

Bit concerning this lad is injured ‘for weeks’ as is Tavares. We know how long they take to get up to speed down at Brockhall.

Rovers and Sheff Weds thrashing out a transfer deal. Can you even imagine?

That, my friend, is absolute fantasty land under our owners. This relentless operation downgrade is going to bite us on the arse sooner or later. I thought it’d be last season but looks like I was a year too early with my prediction.

That’s another kick in the nuts to go along with Batth. Two fantastic signings for Derby and Eustace.

It’ll be Higgins next week. Bloke never stops.

I would put the mortgage on Weimann scoring. Zero doubt in my mind.

I have a funny feeling he won’t. Those two just do not click as a partnership. So shortsighted to just let him go. But what’s new. They don’t care, we know that.

Glen was sure that Suhail is the last of that lot. The guy needs ridding once and for all.

It still boils my piss that we’ve allowed Danny Batth to walk away. Probably the easiest, and certainly the most sensible deal, they could have done all summer. We’ll come to rue that all season.

Thanks, Val.

Ironically, the good news is we have very little of them to sell. What would Brittain, Carter and Trav raise? £5m? A Wharton sell on fee too. Then what? Their time up is coming. It’s just another case of how long is the piece of string.

I have a sneaky feeling Callum Brittain will in fact, not, be signing a bumper new contract. Nor will anyone else. ‘Get your bags packed for Boro/Sheff Utd/Southampton, son.’ For those like me that just want the end game sooner rather than later, let’s hope Wharton doesn’t go for silly money this summer because I bet they’re praying for it.

Have no doubt, Danny Batth’s replacement will be worse than Danny Batth.

I cannot believe they’ve allowed Batth to slip through their fingers. This could have been sorted months ago. His leadership is something we have desperately need in the side - along with Trav they’re the only two with any of it. No surprise to see our nosedive in form coinciding with his absence. Yet another terrible judgement call in a never ending list. No doubt one of Rudy’s lads will be coming in as his replacement. Happy days, eh.
