I remember a game last year armstrong was woeful, shot on sight, wasted multiple opportunities , we lost it late on, Bristol city. we forgave and moved on

Blame mowbray more than gallagher, signing didn’t get done to give us options if he was having a bad game brereton seems to get a free ride from some though

I was working so didn’t see the game today, sounds like gallagher had a shocker but some comments are a bit harsh. he is what he is, he needs a decent run up top to build confidence , capable of brilliant goals, capable of bad misses. Btw armstrong missed tons too and made wrong decisions

Because our old left back is playing for the opposition

I’d probably agree barring somebody from abroad that we don’t know about. Certainly from the domestic free veterans list, I don’t see the value there with wages/injury’s/ not been playing

Lot of folk won’t get this

Loan with a view , the view being one of the sticking points

It was maja. 100%. flew in from France with all his belongings- mowbray said that himself without naming the player

Believe that there was concerns on both sides re bonuses and guarantees and selling club asking for things that club were unhappy with- see armstrong deal He said it wasn’t financial but it kind of was. Look at the panic to try and get some cover in to see that he isn’t happy about transfer window. why the hell they leave it to the last minute annoys the hell out of me, get business done early is always the sign of a well run club, which we are not

See he has hit out at not getting maja done when he was in the building but has made sure to say it wasn’t the clubs fault. Think it’s safe to say he is pretty peeved at not getting deals done but doesn’t want to go all out for fear of losing his position

Agree we are light at rb, I’d argue he is a better defender than lenihan at cb but who is our cover, the Brighton loan lad and an injured Wharton? For me it’s a good alternative and one that’s not a loan. yes we need a striker but are we going to get one now? Not likely

Maja flew in for talks, didn’t happen , concerns on both sides , take that as you will off topic, I’d take Andre wisdom for centre back/ right back cover , didn’t know Derby had released him. Not a world beater but dependable , reminds me of baptiste

We’re we messing Southampton around? The other stuff ties in with what I was told

See the brereton Chile thing has stung us on the ass, they are now taking us to fifa as we won’t release him which could mean that we lose him for a number of games , just as well we brought that striker in……… ps I never jumped in the Chile love in, found it a bit cringe

See some folk mentioning the freebs, don’t think they are what we need with the way we play with the exception of maybe Sturbridge but at 32 and injury problems how fit/ pacey is he these days unless we are going to knock high balls into the box and become physical then Carroll , bony and robson Kanu wouldn’t flourish . All decent players in their day but it’s a no from me

Maybe we are hoping if we play enough wingers then a mishit cross might fall in the net 1/50 times

Dunno about Swansea, lost ayew and I don’t rate the manager, hard season for them I feel

Yea well done guys on the transfer live feed, would’ve been great had we had something to get excited about. Hope you do it January too

They will give one but will be the usual sound bite guff. worried how we are going to get the goals to have anything but a defensive squeezing out 1-0s , draws , mid- lower table slog

Yup, as forewarned, we tried but deals weren’t right. Sigh

Glad Burke is off

I don’t rate Burke at all

Oli Burke rumour

I don’t know how credible it is but I was told that a striker was being worked on whose name hadn’t been mentioned in media circles - wasn’t given name before being asked but my hope is that that’s still being worked on. Would have to agree if we don’t land a striker now then what the hell have we been doing. I know gallagher has been told he will get his chance up top but we still need another.

I was told Lowe was unlikely last night with bmouth leading chase, they will be spending a bit today with Ryan Christie from Celtic also coming in. As others said I’m not too fussed at missing him, albeit I rate him and advocated his signing when at pompy but with his age now against a resale value, and not what I believe we need up top I’m happy to let bmouth have him. Few fires still burning although only one fairly certain
