Every game?

He doesn't.

Club propaganda unit🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Because we've supposedly no money, and he's an experienced Championship forward who's already paid for. It makes the most sense.

I know we've been linked before, thought it was more recent than that to be honest.

Got told today we're interested in Ross Sykes. Rovers, Boro and Plymouth interested.

Might it be that concentrating on not letting them in, has maybe affected the attacking side of things? Or is that a bit too simplistic?

Nottinghamshire live saying Tuesday at the earliest.

I realise his hands are tied to a point, but can we not point the finger at the head of recruitment for poor recruitment? Might as well let Waggott off

I'm sure if Eustace wants a new keeper it will be the first name on the list,he may keep Pears as back up. The one bonus is, as bad as it's been, this season has given him a good look.

I wouldn't be too hasty with Pears,he's young for a keeper, and this season might just stand him in good stead. Yes, he's dropped a couple of clangers, but if anyone thinks we'll sign a keeper who doesn't, they will be in for disappointment. The improved defensive displays have come with Pears in goal. It looks like we've a coach who can set up a defence,it'll be interesting if Eustace gives him his support going forward.

When Broughton came in, he actually said this is a refurb, not a rebuild. We're starting his 3rd season, him and his extensive, shiny new recruitment team might want to at least get the tools out of the van.

No, it's a shame being one of ours, but he just hasn't pushed on. Eustace may see it as horses for courses though, he may just not see Buckley as right for the situation last season (let's call it last season) Using the same logic, he obviously feels he can trust Dolan and Gallagher. I personally think we'd be mad to let them go. Despite the stick they both get, they're both experienced squad players and they are both paid for. What we need is to keep both if possible, then sign players to challenge them for their place. They've been first choice players for too long.

Now we're safe, I'm sure he'll look back on this period as a pre pre-season. As fraught as it's been, it's been the perfect situation to assess what he does and doesn't need.

Wasn't she a nurse in Carry on Doctor?

Agree completely. It's been a grind, but any coach who can get 6 clean sheets in 17 out of our team deserves the chance for a fresh start next season.

Thanks for Sound of the Suburbs, brilliant. Walk out song for me would be Swords of a thousand men.

In Eustace's 16 games we've had 5 clean sheets, in the previous 28 we had 4. We've also had 6 games where we've let 1 in, so in 11 of his 16 games in charge, we've let 1 or less in. And that is with an "awful" squad, He's obviously come in and been a risk averse manager, it obviously won't do from the beginning of a season,but to get a tune defensively out of this lot, under these circumstances , I think shows some tactical know how.

Bloody ell, 7 points clear of relegation, I didn't actually realise how bad the decline was. That's cliff edge stuff.

5 defeats in 17 isn't at all bad though,considering the car crash he took over.

Should have kept Mowbray on to sign players for Tomasson,could have been a dream team.

We only need a draw, the conversation was regarding how many we'd lost.

We were right next to it, the whole situation was a nothing. The red card was ridiculous. Pickering did more than anyone and didn't even get booked.

Yes, not good ones to lose looking back.

We've lost 5 in 16 in a relegation battle is what I'm on about.
