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.

If the former is the answer to any of our problems, then as I suspect, we're in for a very long season.

Jesus wept, we are pitiful. Defending like school-kids, can't pass, creating zip all. I'd say we're in a spot of bother this season unless we suddenly - after months and months of struggling to do so - bring in 5 or so quality players. Quality, not Szmodics quality. Very concerning that he's the best they can come up with. Edit: I wrote that at 2-0. Fucking embarrassing. AGAIN.

This is becoming concerning now. Quite literally haven't had a sniff in 1.5 games now. Creativity looks shot, as does everything else since we took to the pitch against Reading.

Harsh picking on one player, but it's a little concerning that this bloke was the best our recruitment team could come up with.

We're saying the same every week. What betting we're talking about the January transfer window as soon as September comes around?

1-0. Here we go. I'm expecting another 2 or 3 here.

You won't need to wait long! JDT needs to sort this out. Terrible yet again. Are we doing team meetings in the pub since pre-Reading?

Quite clear the club are failing JDT right now. An injury today and JRC is our only defensive option to bring on from the bench. What betting I'm saying the same thing come Stoke next weekend?

I think we all know if he's on song, Khadra will terrorise Pickering. Could do with Ayala or Trav letting him know they're there early doors. Think most people look back at his time here favourably?

We are rolling the dice big time with our inability to bring in a centre half. The only 'defensive' option on the bench is JRC. It's criminal really and we've known about Wharton's injury for well over a week now.
