London blue

I'm fucking livid. This is beyond the fucking pale. Cunts.

I know exactly what the situation is. He's unavailable to play and won't be match fit for some time.

If we end today without adding to midfield then we're going to run Tronstad into the ground. Foreshaw, Tavares, Kristi and sick note as midfield options should Tronstad be out is negligence in all honesty.

Sorry fella but your selective consumption of this forum is to blame here. There were plenty of people who were pleased about the win but weren't chugging the going up juice.

I understand that new signings need time to bed in. I don't think this is lost on anyone. The point is, there shouldn't be a need for this scale of the first team to be new signings who are untested at this level. Our situation is a result of the contract strategy employed by the club. At some point the fact that we sold our captain and replaced him either either a highly dubious prospect or a crocked player will dawn on people.

I for one really enjoy being told how to react to my football team losing their 4th of 5 games so far this season.

I think his point might be that VI's win % is shit.

Until they come good or they leave us. If the former, you'll be asked to retract your opinions. If the latter, he'll change his mind and claim he didn't.

This is as succinct a summary of the disaster I think we're currently staring in the face as I can imagine.

I'll cede there's a plan but it doesn't coalesce with succeeding in this league.

Ipswich, Southampton, Leicester, Boro A few of the teams we haven't had to play yet and we've lost 75% of games. The Hull win was against a truly dreadful team. I'm sick of being told I'm overly negative. Travis for Tavares is a monumental downgrade and I'm supposed to believe we've improved? Fuck off. We need to improve drastically and quickly.

Tavares hooked at HT. He's been very poor and is far from a replacement for Travis as thing stand.

So VI currently won't even commit to a date for Baradji. I'm not sure we'll see him on the pitch for a good while.

1 more. Potentially another if they fancy selling Hyam.

I wouldn't touch him with yours.

There's no use in us arguing semantics, I don't think saying Hull were dreadful is downplaying a result, you do. Fine. That's why I said a real start. Of course the points count, let's not be silly. Two wins in a row and I would consider our season truly underway.

Contextualising a result isn't downplaying it. They were horrible and apparently had a virus running through their team that week. Beating Norwich would be a real start.

This is where we disagree. Yeah he's not achieved anything but neither have any of the squad. If all the EFL moved on players who didn't contribute to milestones or trophy wins you'd have full squad turnover year on year. He was one of our best players, well loved and was a great captain. If you disagree with that fair enough but I absolutely think he was worth retaining.

I couldn't say what they're paying him, but 30k I would agree is too much. They could have tied him down for an extra 5-10k though 18 months ago, I'm sure of that.

Please, be serious. @Neal I don't necessarily disagree with your rant/post and I'm not overly upset about Travis feeling hurt. What I am angry about is that we clearly wanted to keep our captain, but we can't/won't offer him the same wages as Derby fucking County. It's absolutely beyond the pale.

This is an impressive display of willful ignorance, I'm sorry.

So the ref gave a yellow because he didn't think Gordon was that type of player?

I didn't see that coming! More than happy to hold my hands up, we played really well. Hull were dross, though. Poor across the park.

3-1 Hull. We're the team to play right now. Starting midfield is OK but with no Trav and a crocked star signing there's not much else in the tank.

Coked up meatheads looking for a scrap =/= organised protest against ownership you wally.
