It shows how low our expectations now are, how badly the club is run, how awful the transfers windows have been under Broughton, and indeed what a terrible signing Ennis is, when we're handing out plaudits to Telalovic for 'working hard'. Let's be honest here, he shouldn't be anywhere near the starting 11 of any Championship side. It's just wishful thinking on our part that he'll contribute anything meaningful.

Absolutely Gav. In the biggest of pictures, nothing will materially change for the better whilst this lot are here. In the here and now though, and as you've agreed with prior, Tomasson shouldn't be given a free pass for what is an atrocious set of results. Talk of getting rid him though - for now at least - is premature. I may not personally like his style of football, but I think that he'll turn it around over the next few games. He may have some weaknesses, but he has enough about him. He's proven that.

Our dire run has to come to an end eventually. This won't be easy at all and Rotherham will fancy their chances, but I think we'll get the win to ease the nerves a tad. 2-1 Rovers.

What did he have for his tea last night? 🙂

That's what I'd do - play those 3 in the middle to stiffen things up.

The players on the pitch last night have more than enough about them ability wise to have got a result.

The only thing that stands out about our team at the moment, is our penchant for losing football matches.

Tomasson has enough about him to keep our heads above water. Another shit month though, and the 10 point cushion could then be 5. But then it's too late to do much about it.

Stop eating all that Christmas cheese 🙂

Absolutely clueless.

We've played pretty well and deserve that. Whether we gift them another is the worry.

What have the cutbacks got to do with us having a policy of signing, or not signing, anyone over the age of 25?

Then why - if we believe what we're being told that he has the final say-so on transfers - did he do so?

I'd be hard pressed to believe that anyone with any semblence of judgement would have signed Telalovic, whether that be Broughton, Tomasson, or a combination of both.

Aye OK.

How do you know he only gets young players to sign off on? The evidence, as quoted, suggests otherwise. Venkys are clueless, we all know that. But you haven't grasped the fact that despite this, some of the blame for our poor results is on Tomasson for his tactics, and on Broughton and Tomasson for between them signing poor players. Are you mates with Chaddy by any chance?

My angle is this. The argument that we only sign players over a certain age has been dispelled (Tronstad, Szmodics) So if Tomasson does indeed have influence on who we sign, but those players are young/inexperienced, then he needs to stop using 'inexperience' as an excuse every time we get beat. That was my original point. Not so strange after all eh? I think you're trying to avert any blame whatsover on our poor results from Tomasson. No offence like. And I'm perfectly aware what the bigger picture is, thanks all the same.

So we sign players then without Tomassons say-so, yes?

Having no players is not a transfer policy. It's having no money in the first place. My question is rather about the players we actually do sign, and whether he is on board with those.

Tronstad got sanctioned - he's 28.

In your opinion then, Tomasson isn't on board with the transfer policy?

Because he's still here collecting his salary.
