I’ll wait to judge him when the club actually backs him. Which very likely won’t be in his time at Rovers!

Apparently we’ll be fine with Hyam/Caulker and one other. Operation ‘dumb down’ in full swing once again. We’re embarrassingly poor and are getting murdered all over the pitch for the third league game running.

Goal disallowed for them. JDT needs to pull his fecking finger out and do something. Waiting til half time will not do.

We look absolutely dreadful. Yet again. We may as well just play our under 23 Cup team - they seriously can’t be any worse.

Sharpe sounds like he’s hedging his bets. Could be Morton in midfield yet.

If Brittain is injured for any length of time and we don’t bring in a replacement for Pickering, then we’re screwed. A Pickering / JRC combo is relegation fodder.

That defence. Jesus Christ. The two slowest wing backs to have graced football.

Sunderland signing Michut - FYI @chaddyrovers Can’t get my head round this ‘Neil wasn’t backed’ narrative in the press.

He had a knock apparently. He in all the ‘stat’ team of the seasons etc so far - looks a hell of a player.

Agreed. Can’t get my head round that one given how sharp he’s looked in the Cup. He’s surely ready by now.

Good job Neill never did end up here as he wouldn’t have lasted long under this lot would he!!

Three?! That’s some come down from the muted 6-7. Especially if one is Caulker. And we’ll probably fall short of even that target!

I truly hope to eat my words but our transfer business to date this summer (or our rumoured targets), IMO is not signal of a side that is itching to compete towards the top end of the table.

Sunderland are close to signing a young lad called Michut from PSG as well as Ven Hecke. Can’t be a bad player - he played 5 times for PSG last year at just 19. Seems other clubs are showing some imagination.

Boro after Ampadu on loan from Chelsea. We need to at least have a pop at that. He’s top class.

Jesus Christ. A link to a player. An actual rumour.

It’s being a realist and having witnessed our transfer business under this lot for the past decade.

You need to be prepared to be very disappointed.

O'Neill sacked ahead of Saturday. Talk about timing.

We’ll be saying the same next week.

Selling BBD for even £20+million is only good business if a fair chunk of that gets reinvested into the team. I have massive doubts as to whether that'll happen. Couple of prem loans and maybe one perm is my prediction. More deadline day heartache.

100%. Imagine we'd go to three at the back should we get him. Massive should there. Really need a couple of bodies in before the weekend.

It’s embarrassing how we just keep holding on for the same 2-3 players when performances on the pitch absolutely stink and are crying out for fresh blood. Wouldn’t surprise me at all to see us get gazumped for this Liverpool lad too. Like others, I just know how this window will end. Seen it time and time again under this lot.

We could have played til Christmas in the matches against Reading and Sheff Utd and still not come close to scoring. Sure we’re lacking personnel and bodies big time - but the tactics need a serious overhaul too.

Yep. Whilst we’ve created zilch. Yet again. There’s not just one or two things wrong at the minute - we’re disastrous across the park.
