If we got £18m for Wharton, and reinvested 75% of that across the squad we would be a much better side. Any championship club has to accept that Premier league money cant be refused, and use it wisely. What leads to the demise of a club is to replace a good player with a couple of cheap unknowns and the rest goes to pay wages and cover losses. One way ticket to relegation, smaller fan base, even less income, even shitter players and so on... Wonder which one the Venkys and Swag will choose......

We've completely lost any idea how to win. Very worrying we are struggling to win against the worst sides in the league at home. Doesn't bode well at all.. Come Semir. Kick your season off!

Probably just because he's shit

You know the club is in the pits when you're genuinely happy Pears is back in goal..Jesus. I'd put this down as a must win. If we can't beat either Rotherham or Huddersfield at home either side of an away spanking last time out we may as well give up.

Teams just scored whenever they want. Pretty sure my amateur team would get a goal v our lot.

I've enjoyed JDTs football and it's given us some good moment when it's going well but I can't see him keeping us up. He's completely unsuited to a relegation scrap. Unfortunately think we need an organiser in ASAP or it's back to league 1

We are the worst team in the league by far at the moment.

My mate is a Hull fan. I said we had him on loan last year and was mostly crap. My mate says hes been good this year and has impressed the Hull fans. Apparently he has helped the team retain possession much better than last year.

Watching Wigan v Man U. Wigans right winger No 17 looks better than anything we have! L1 is probably too expensive a shop for us though...

Hull City are getting Carvlho on loan from Liverpool. He cost them £20m 18 months ago after getting promoted with Fulham. A proper loan signing that. They were like us 3 or 4 years ago, had an Egyptian owner who fell out with the fans and wouldn't put any funds in. New owner and 1 year later they're in the play offs making ambitious signings. Amazing what a good owner can do.

Why sub off telalovic at half time. Surely these are the games you persevere with them in the hopes of getting a goal...or is he absolute gash? Ive seen plenty of Leonard to know he's never going to be that great.

We'd literally be bottom of the league is it wasn't for Szmodic this year. Despite our recruitment policy of sell ans not replace we've been very lucky someone has always stepped up as a goalscorer in the last few seasons. We lost Dack/Graham and Armstrong stepped up. We lost Armstrong then BBD got 20 goals from no where. Now we lost BBD and Szmodic has stepped up. Can't see anyone else doing it mind..

This is comedy stuff. We're less watertight than a collendar.

Need telalovic to get a goal today and see if it can kick-start his season.

Clubs a shambles. This has cost cutting all over it. No serious manager could work under this. It's very difficult to remain a fan never mind an employee.

Relegation stuff. Apart from Szmodic the team has nothing. Terrible gk, porous defence and no squad. Think JDT would be a good manager at a decent side with funds to spend..but that's not us. We need an organiser with a bit of tactical nous.

If we don't get a 3rd we won't win this. Got an equaliser written all over It.

How Is Telalovic doing?

Who else is more worried about the drop than missing the play offs?

2-0. Sacking form at any other club.

Bit of a strange move considering our lack of budget. Didn't think a CB was a priority, unless the club is planning on selling on of the current lot. Don't know anything about the lad, hopefully he's a good prospect.

Cant see how we can really change anything. Havent got the players. The sensible thing would go back to basics and keep it simple. Defend well and nick one on the counter. Need to stop this spiral. Sounds like Telalovic put himself about a bit. Might be worth a punt from the start.

For all the talk of of strikers, one massive thing were missing is pace. There isn't any in the entire Squad. Dolan and Markandaay look nippy but their top speed isn't fast. Moran looks a more like a poor mans Milner type wide player. Surely one of the reasons we concede so late is that when put under pressure we don't have anyone to make defenders worry on the counter and so get boxed in. If we cant get a striker in a fast wide player on loan would be next in line. Where did Dembele from bournemouth go? Didnt we nearly get him on loan last summer?

Good lord. This is dire. The club is slipping towards L1 obscurity at this rate. Death spiral has arrived, with absolute peanuts available in January to do anything about it.

Its been a diabolical month results wise. Squad is well and truly on its arse...however one positive is that 2 or 3 good results can shoot you up this league. From 4th down no one is very consistent. Desperate for some players to come back. Never thought I'd say we're missing Gallagher due to absolutely hopeless alternatives up front. Can see a scrappy 2-1 win. Siggy and Szmodic.
