Odds on a Henriksson yellow card in the first 20 minutes?

I think our disagreement is probably more on context. I'd agree that relative to the budget given most of the signings have at least been adequate. However, as far as my ambitions for the club are concerned, not so much. I want us to be better than relegation battlers and history suggests we absolutely should be. In that sense, Alebiosu is probably the only signing I'd put in the good category. Maybe Gudjohnsen at a push but he's still a downgrade on the likes of Armstrong or Szmodics.

Our league position isn't an opinion. Unless you're saying Ismael is the problem? In which case fair enough.

If 6/10 of our signings are C or above (mostly A or then that is the majority. Granted maybe C is more adequate than good, but still.

I think our league position tells you everything you need to know about the summer window. The idea that the majority of our signings have been good and only a couple didn't work out doesn't really align with our swift downward trajectory from playoff hopefuls to survival hopefuls.

McLoughlin was a backup at Hull wasn't he? On that basis he's done alright for us. He wasn't an upgrade on anything we had, but he's about what I expected. Miller has been hit and miss. His long throw isn't effective though which is disappointing. Alebiosu is the star pick of our summer business, and imo it isn't even a contest. Really good player. Gudjohnsen is a solid poacher but has very little else to his game. For the market we're in, though, he can be considered a success for sure. Personally I like Morishita and think he'll continue to improve as time goes on. TGH is... well, he's there. Doesn't really do anything wrong, but not a game changer either. Adequate utility man. The rest were a waste of money.

Can't say I'd be surprised if I found out the club had just left him to his own devices rather than ensuring he was getting the best care. Let's hope it's just a bullshit story though.

Lol, didn't realise there was such a split in the fan base when Kidd was sacked. The bloke clearly wasn't cut out to be a first team manager. Score one for Uncle Jack there.

We all know where this ends, too. If we aren't willing to pay decent Championship wages we will soon not be playing in the Championship anymore. Those in charge may be arrogant enough to believe they have the secret to success that bypasses the need to pay proper wages, but they will find they are wrong. We've already bombed from playoff contenders to relegation scrappers within half a season - it won't be long before they do enough damage to relegate us. Could still happen this season, although I think we may be saved by Oxford and Portsmouth (Sheff Weds are obv already goners).

I mean, all players have bad games. We can hope Brittain has a poor game again when they play us, but by all accounts for most of this season he's very much been as good as them as he was for us in his final season or so. I'm expecting he'll come into the game with a bit of extra motivation to perform.

Yeah Brittan has been pretty good for them. Weird for anyone to be casting shade on them signing him when we're 20th and they're 2nd.

Think we'd be fortunate for lightning to strike twice. Alebiosu has been a revelation but I expect another cheap punt will end up closer to the Tavares/De Neve/Henriksson category.

It was wrong, yes, and I'd admitted that I got mixed up with something else. My apologies.

Considering the edit is in the post you quoted, this is a baffling response.

He's just manic energy when he comes onto the pitch. If "uncultured midfielder" was a descriptor then that would be him 😆 he's not anywhere close to the biggest of our problems in fairness, I just wish we'd been a lot smarter last summer.
