I'd take Hughes in a heartbeat.

My mate's just called that too. Surely not.

Live on Bolton Rd,said same to my lad.

Awful performance . Everything is so laboured and dull. Why we're playing a centre half at left back when we've two solid left backs. Pickering also has shown he's useful at set pieces AND he's actually our own player. Not sure of Morishitas best position. Could imagine, a bit like Emerton, him being more effective coming from deep in a wing back role.. Cantwell, never seen anything in him. Agree regarding Joseph. Give him a go. Rather see Atcheson play over Mclouglin

So would I, he isn't good enough- Foreshaw is significantly better. Surely there's a few quality CM's knocking about in league one or two that can control a midfield that are worth a gamble. Our centre mid is eye wateringly poor in my humble opinion. Still desperately need another striker too.

The King is dead, long live the King! Come back Tony, all is forgiven!

I'm not a fan. In my humble opinion the swagger is totally unjustified. Would swap him for Rothwell all day every day without blinking.

I think there are plenty of managers that can keep us up. Valerian Ismael isn't one of them. Sickening to see how well backed he's been in the market when JDT and Eustace got a pittance.

Shite, no creativity or attacking threat at all. Only players that broke the lines were O'Riordan and Alebsiou.. Two defenders!

I would start Valerian Joseph ahead of Ohashi.. He's miles better, as is Higgins. They both should be in and around the first team. Ohashi needs replacing with someone significantly better then selling freeing up a spot for one of our emerging youngsters. Same with Mcloughlin, replace with someone significantly better and leave the other spot for emerging youngsters. Centre midfield is also horrific- Foreshaw is significantly better than Tavares, Henriksson and TGH. Horrific business, need two good centre mids- then you're still short out wide. Absolutely horrific window. Squad's a a complete unbalanced mess!

Looking forward to Ohashi missing at least one glaringly good opportunity whilst running around looking busy. Hate seeing forwards press for pressings sake. I want my forwards using their energy intelligently, moving well off the ball, getting into the channels, holding the ball and bring other people into play. Since the days of Gallagher I feel like we play with, what are essentially, defensive forwards. Waste of energy and consequentially, your forwards are rarely in a decent position. Not that it makes a difference with Ohashi. Don't dislike the guy and would love nothing more than eat some humble pie. However other than a few good moments when he first signed he's a 4/10 and if we're going to rely on him (say another injury to Gudjohnsen- who I'm also not entirely convinced by) then we're absolutely going down.

Looking tidy would be a great addition...

Andy Todd, what a hard nut that guy was! Absolute quality too. You'd want him in the trenches with you 100%. Lacking any sort of player like that presently. Powder puff soft arses.

Can't wait to see what shite they unveil in the last few days of the window.. Dismantled a team skirting with the playoffs for this! We looked well stocked at the back with Carter coming back (albeit for how long?), Atcheson and Pratt looking good along with Miller's versatility. If we were to improve on our centre halves I'd have made improving on Mcloughlin a priority. Yet we being in a young(ish) Cashin who isn't an upgrade on anyone. Our centre midfield is absolutely woeful, no bite, no guile, no creativity. Worst I think I've seen in a long time- takes me back to the Coyle days of Lowe and Akpan. Ignoring our lack of threat out wide (No pace, no creativity or crosses) as it's absolutely redundant when you've Ohashi playing up top. He most likely won't take up a good position and even if he does you can bet he'll either take an extra touch 8/10. Awful squad. It needs a complete overhaul, absolutely disastrous summer that's going to relegate us.

Championship quality: GK: Toth, Pears DL: Ribeiro, Pickering DR: Alebiouso DC: Carter, Wharton DMC: Trodstadt AML: AMR: Hedgen/Jorgensen MC: Baradji AMC: Cantwell ST: Gudjohnsen Squad's absolutely vile. Pears is back up, We don't play left backs, Carter, Wharton and Hedges out. So that leaves us with seven championship quality players. The rest of the cast are league 1/2 standard. Awful. Of those I've said I think are championship quality- I'm not saying I think they're good or particularly useful. We've no ball carrying players, no pace, no creativity, no strength or guile up top, no aggression, no fight, no cohesion, no obvious pattern of play- well, other than just running around wasting energy "pressing" Ohashi is probably one of the least clinical strikers I've ever seen. The lack of spirit, cohesion etc is there for all to see. Just a shit side full of shit players that have no bond. Great work!

Madness to think we've signed Tavares and Henrikson and Foreshaw, is better than both of them.. Sterling recruitment! Can't wait for next season when we have a central midfield consisting of Baradji, Tavares and Henrikson.

Says everything when Foreshaw is significantly better than both Tavare and Henrikson.. significantly better too.

Think we look dogshit. Really poor side. Ohashi is dreadful, just runs about and falls over..

Ohashi is really poor, nice lad, but fucking awful. To think we pushed Leonard out.. I'd rather see Valerian Joseph be given a well deserved stab at it. As Dave said, almost every game he has a good opportunity he squanders.. Don't care how much he runs around.

1-8 How aren't some of these lads on the bench... Joseph looks a real handful.. Dunns tidy too.

Raya (Esp) Henchoz (Swiss) Nelsen (Nzl) Samba (Congo) MGP (Norway) Emerton (Aus) Tugay (Turkey) Berkovic (Israel) Roque (Paraguay) Benni (SA)

Wasn't being tongue in cheek at all...

Great to have you back Vinjay! 🤌

Can we get Jack Walker masks printed out?

There's no rational reason to get rid of Big Val. He's doing a belting job. Lots of promising signs.
