Still far from convinced, but he’s undeniably been able to get a lot more out of Dolan, Cantwell, and Ohashi than Eustace did.

For the Norwegian members: Is there any discussion up there about him not making the national squad? I know Norway has a strong crop of players currently, but surely he should at least be sniffing around?

Why? There’s nothing left to play for.

Gave away an equalizer yesterday with one of the worst howlers I've ever seen (1:55), then restored Malmö's lead with the game-winning goal (3:25).

In this January window, Cardiff bought Salech for £3 million, a 23 year old striker from a smaller league who has now scored 5 in 12 for a struggling team and is now likely worth 2-3 times as much. We brought in an unfit Emmanuel Dennis on loan with a hefty salary, who hasn't scored once. One of these strategies is how you run a football club in 2025, the other one is how you did it in 1997. Apart from all the other problems with this club, we'll never go anywhere if we keep bringing in proven mediocrity with no resale value.

Would like us to poach Mousinho from Pompey, he’s done good work there from both strong and weak starting positions and seems to be flexible in how he wants his team to play. Most importantly, he’s on his way up and has momentum in his career.

We all know Sigurdsson hasn't reached his full potential here, because of injuries or otherwise, but this situation is a shambles. Here we have a 25 year old attacker, entering what's usually the best years in his career, who a few seasons back scored against Roma and Real Madrid in the Champions League. Players like that need to be given time and chances, because he has the potential to both propel the team AND be sold for a substantial fee, which can (at least partly) be reinvested in the team. Now instead we're shunting him out to make place for three journeymen, out of match fitness loanees.

I know it’s spelt differently, but that’s still an unfortunate surname!

…which probably didn’t help him adapt. Still, Serie B to Premier League in the early 00’s must have been a massive leap both culturally and in quality, Souness was mad to approve that transfer (or enticed by a brown envelope or two).

I don’t buy it. We’ll see, but this sounds more like conjecture based on frustration. Eustace is a pro like most managers, he works season to season and can’t be concerned about ”visions for the years ahead” when he knows his position is under threat whenever he loses a couple of games in a row, no matter who the owners are.

Buckley! This is the resurrection, mark my words!

Is it Buckley or JRC that releases Beck down the left hand side before the goal? Either way it’s a good example of what they offer in central midfield that Tronstad and Travis don’t.

If nothing else, Gueye is so far continuously available for selection. Gallagher missed out on about a third of our games through injury both last season and the one before that.

How come the highlights video from Hull's Youtube account use several more camera angles and replays than Rovers, from an Ewood game no less?

It was a good header as well, and if Weimann hadn’t pulled off that volley he’d still be in a great position to advance on their goal. Great contribution from Gueye.
