It was a dreadful game of football Stood with a Villa fan and a Bluenose in the away end. Luckily Mr Big Club had even less to shout about than anything us, and that’s saying something. Two poor teams on display. The Villa lad was fuming we kept him up for that shite - can’t say I blame him Brereton doesn’t want to get injured, it is plain as day Wasnt worth the tenner, but nevertheless we progress to the next round Particularly shout out to Pears who kept us in it. Some fine saves, he’s come on leaps and bounds

On Football Manager right now you’re scared to press continue in case too many hours pass by It’s a hit of the continue button and immediately you browse. Did they return my bid in 30 mins? 2 hours is too long - only gives me 5 to negotiate, agree, sell a player, adjust budget and sign. It’ll never happen We will sign three players today. I have faith

Can you get tickets on the gate?

Wouldn’t give the fantasist weirdo a moments notice. The problem with Twitter is it gives everybody a platform. He can put what he wants in his bio, people will retweet it and then not think about it twice He’s an idiot. Always has been, always will be

JRC having the game of his life

There has to be something in Morton’s contract. I’m convinced of it now. I didn’t believe it at first but what is the alternative? That they aren’t seeing what we are?

Bloody hell I just expected him to score

But he’s persevering with Morton in his bad spell. Buckley wasn’t afford that opportunity by JDT And Buckley is the better player imo

It’s pointless talking to you about Buckley You have nowt good to say. Just spam every match thread with bs about the lad We look better with him in midfield than without him And today he hasn’t been awful like people have said. He’s made some good passes, won the ball back but he isn’t helped with the lad he has next to him

Morton is in a stinking run of form The fact he blocked Buckley from playing early doors this season is shocking Buckley is twice the player Morton is at this moment. We need to end the Morton experiment and get Buckley a battler in next to him.

Shock from you Buckley has made some great forward passes Morton less so

This is a bit mad I think we have played the better football. Some good passing in and around the box Been a couple of moments between TK and the centre halves, but other than that it seems organised and controlled We deserves that goal Morton simply has to stop giving the ball away in bad positions. And Kaminski got away with another one too. Gallagher has been our worst player. Take him off the pitch and we’d look better if you ask me - very poor today so far

Nah they’re blue noses and proud of it Might have started as ribbing but they’ve took it on board and ran with it Bluenose and proud is a common phrase you hear around Brum

You are a brave man you j*b The volume of sarcastic posts this is going to produce if it doesn’t come in. You can see them now “was only last week we had the lad from Juventus signing on the dotted line” Fair play

I think Kaminski was a good signing. Can’t say I’d heard of him! Dack is another good one - I hadn’t heard much of him And let’s be honest, had we not had dickhead owners and managed to flip BBD for 15-20m it would have been a good bit of business Adam Armstrong was a good bit of business, but you could see that coming I think they’re doing okay, but we could do better in getting targets from abroad a la Tommy K But “never” is a big word

No one cares about Porteous Every club, in every window, will be linked with players they don't land It is not a damning indictment of the clubs' ability to get deals done, it is a damning indictment of the insatiable thirst for clicks and site traffic stemming from the 24/7 media industry Once again the player we acquired was not spoken about once I love the to'ing and fro'ing about should we sign, shouldn't we, is he any good, can he better us. Love it. Keeps you interested. But only a downright idiot would be foolish enough to think we 'missed out' on every single player name dropped or linked in the media The truth will be somewhere in the middle. Some we may have missed, some we may have enquired once and moved on immediately, some we were never in for at all

We have needed a winger who can take his man on and get the ball in the box It’s just a bit stale up top. The lad might change This next part isn’t aimed at you Rev, but you get the impression a few take the highly critical route for the sake of it. If he doesn’t succeed it is an easy told you so, if he does then it’s easy to say “well I obviously wanted him to succeed” Its a no lose situation This “pacy winger” that has often been the buzzword has arrived, albeit for a short loan, so let’s just see how the lad gets on

I was talking about Dack

Each to their own I suppose There's not a lot of players at this level who are a patch on him. He's an excellent footballer. Unfortunately, deals like him do not come across every day, and in reality you are looking at minimum £5m + to even get closes to a player of Dack's intelligence and ability these days

Szmodics is a good squad player In any promotion team you need players like that - ones you can trust to do a job He's got a couple of goals for us, won us points along the way, and comes on and closes out games very well With Dack back I am more than happy to see Szmodics as a replacement for that position / the CM role People moan at the money for him, and I do agree a better central midfielder is needed more, but that added depth will come at a costs At 27 we have a good 3 years out of him for ~£2m and he seems like a damn good lad and a good player at this level. I think he's a good signing, if not exactly what we need to bring us to that next level, but not every signing will be We are building on a team that was ravaged by mismanagement of the footballing side of things for years. Szmodics is a piece of a jigsaw, like any squad

Any way of sorting Revs posts out? Nowt spiteful to you Rev, but keep thinking my bloody phone has crashed

How can it be factual when it is your opinion? You think way too highly of yourself You said GB's inability to close a deal is frightening but he's 'closed' half a dozen deals in his limited time at the club It looks like he is fishing in the right ponds too. A player that Watford are after and a loan signing that is agreed, pending Brighton's decision on whether he remains a PL squad player or gets time in the Championship. Two decent targets if you ask me Yet again you are talking nonsense

You are always on the wind up, that much is clear I am beginning to think you are a parody

It isn’t wrong Mercer has peddled some genuinely horrendous ideas on here the last week or so. Assuming his “friends” think the same then we are better of sticking with Waggott And that’s saying something

Is this a question or have you heard something? 😂 It would be a great signing if you ask me. Suspect it would be loan though
