We're also now paying for a DoF on top of a CEO, which wasn't the case a year ago.

But Telalovic is 'improving every game' isn't he?

We've no choice but to give him more time. Some idiot gave him a 3 year deal, and I'd be amazed if another league club would take him off our hands.

They must have sold the bulk of the tickets yesterday. I bought ours around 6pm on Friday when the seat map thing was showing very few sold.

I enjoyed the game yesterday, simply because we won for a change. You can only beat what's in front of you, as the adage goes, but we played pretty well second half and the football was good watch at times. The big problems remain and are there for all to see, though. Back in the harsher world of the Championship, we'll continue to leak goals with that novice goalkeeper of ours, our defence regularly gets exposed, and we're almost totally reliant on Sczmodics for goals. I dread to think what will happen should he, AWharton, or Tronstad be absent for any time.

It looked to me like it came from over the back of the Riverside. There was a plume of smoke that way for a few minutes.

He half comes out, dithers, goes back, then ends up in no mans land.

If we only sign one more player, it has to be a keeper.

Both complete and utter duds, I'm afraid.

Nope. He just doesn't command his box, as evidenced by their second goal. It's at the point where our defence probably don't trust him to do the basics. Same with Telalovic. He's just dreadful.

All these young players coming in...Tomasson must be party to these signings and agreeing to them. Which brings me back to a point I made the other day and similar which @Tom (I think it was) made yesterday. Tomasson can't keep making 'inexperience' excuses, if he is indeed giving the nod to these incomings..

Which is fine if we can develop players to that standard. I doubt that they'd be interested in the likes of Telalovic et al though....

4,002 now then. I've just begrudgingly got our 2 regular seats.

And again. You constantly insult anyone who has the slightest difference of opinon. All very sad really.

Why do you constantly have the need to to insult people when you reply to them?

So our supposed playing style and approach to player development/trading is geared towards ultimately selling players to the likes of Brighton & Hove Albion? That's been well thought through then...

Genuine question and one asked in ignorance of the supposed 'style' of PL teams, as I don't watch PL games... Which PL teams actually play in the same style as what Tomasson is trying to do? IMO, this dictates/defines our 'customer base' for those players who we develop in said style. ie what PL clubs will potentally buy our players?

It's a moot point who's better or worse. They're both terrible.

I think the gist of it, is that you can't buy WBA tickets in person. You either have to ring up and order, or do it online.

By tomorrow, it will be too late to send paper tickets out through the post, so I reckon all they can offer is the ability to buy them in person at the office.

I have no idea who my keeper signing would be, cos I pay zero attention to players of other clubs, nor do I play computer games. What I do know through my own eyes though, is that Wahlstedt is a shocker.

Or perhaps, get in a keeper who has the ability to marshal and organise the defenders in front of him. There wasn't much wrong with our defence until Whalstedt appeared on the scene.

Need a goalkeeper before anything. With a half decent one, we'd probably have 5 or 6 more points on the board.

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.
