Football works in mysterious ways and whilst Hull were expected to struggle a bit due to the embargo, it looks like it may have provoked a bit of a backs against the wall, let's fight with what we've got mentality. It's early days mind and a few injuries may end up hurting them as the season progresses. For now though, I think it'll be another struggle for us. That being said, had we held on in Saturdays game we'd be a lot more positive going into the game, fine margins and all that. I'm going for a 1-1 draw.

The sky issue coukd easily be resolved with a cheaper alternative and more cost cutting ..... Rudy must be the only bloke in the country who's not had a friend request off firestick man on Facebook though he's that much of a cunt 🤣 No Chaddy it's not a realistic suggestion we use a dodgy firestick before you start.

There's pictures circulating of completely empty bars on the concourse at half time too, fair play.

I didn't even watch it today, still got notifications etc off flash score and was pretty surprised we were winning. I still feel pissed off as I hate losing, probably not as bad as if I'd been there though...

I know. They are shit scared of probing Travis questions though and it's blindingly obvious, hence the gagging order.

Whilst I kind of agree with you, the pre match presser should indeed to be to talk about the game. BUT VI is a big boy, he is more than capable of saying "come on chaps lets focus on the game here with the questions". There's no need for a gagging order unless they're scared of the answers, it's as simple as that.

Have you heard this one out of interest, players meals at Brockhall - they're now having to pay for them?

Just on Travis, told he was openly talking about leaving from the first day of pre season. What baffles me most is we clearly knew this yet continued to play him, his contributions were mainly just picking up bookings as he looked disinterested throughout. Only possibly reason I can think is we asked him to hang on a bit till we sorted a replacement!? I suppose in return he built his match fitness up ready to join his new club. To be clear, I’m not criticising Travis in all of this, just the cunts at the top.

Don't understand why Forest haven't just paid him off and waved goodbye, he's of absolutely no use to them, or us, or anyone.

Been offered a free ticket and can’t even be arsed still, even in the Kean era I went religiously but not any more. Partly swayed by going on holiday early Sunday too but even so, can’t remember being this disinterested before. Struggling to take any positives from the last few games, any at all. Hopefully the new players end up half decent and gel with the longer standing players, but for now……

Might be disappointed on the loan front. VI has openly said he doesn't favour loans, in fact he was describing them as 'pointless' at the kit launch as they just obstruct development of our own youth players. To an extent I do agree with him, but you at least need some decent options in your youth team to bring through. Now whilst Adam Wharton has set the bar high, I'm not seeing anyone looking remotely close to being first team ready coming through! Ideally you want to be bringing youth players through when we're stable and doing reasonably well on the pitch, not for our relegation battle that's looming. Hopefully he has a rethink and recognises we need some decent loan players in ASAP if permanent are beyond us!

Axel looks like he can ping a few in from outside the box, not really evident on Saturday but going off his previous goals. That and our awful set pieces are 2 huge problems for us, both things that teams who will struggle for goals should have nailed. Even watching Sheff Weds yesterday and despite all their issues, their set pieces were 10 times better than ours.

Bollocks

He's pretty much the only person who gives Chaddy the time of day, most can't be arsed anymore

Probably fallen victim to their limited pre season here Sheff Weds, Leicester over running them now. Fair play to them though they've given it a good go.

Nah you're wrong there tbf he has good stas for headers won, only Hyam better last season. He was probably amongst the better strikers in the league on that front. However, it is a deceiving stat, Sam Gallagher appeared to be useful if you just looked at aerial duals won because half of them went to absolutely nobody. There's winning headers and there's winning useful headers and making things happen, Gueye is useful at this IMO.

Nope it made me think what sort of uptake there would be from our fans for the same and it wouldn't be as effective, although as much as I hate to say it, at this point their situation is a bit worse, for now. Imagine a joint protest when we play them and an empty ground, all piling in at the same agreed time, they'd probably postpone it.

Fair play Sheff Weds, a well executed protest and getting the coverage on Sky, good support from Leicester fans too for it. As an aside their first corner was better than we’ve mustered up for a while despite all their issues, better team here as well….

Yeah we lost 1 nil, not the horror show some are making out. We could do with banging a few in against Bradford now, I wouldn’t even be messing much with whatever VI believes is his best 11 and hopefully they shape up and show they can indeed score goals.

Probably wanted to nake an impression too, unfortunately that didn't exactly go to plan. I mean it wasn't quite Flitcrofts but still. I think he'll turn out OK.

He never responds to you if you call him out either, very odd bloke. Mind you Mercer does similar on here too and I suspect he's a lot older and should be wiser

First competitive game maybe but last week he was also absolutely abysmal, I'm talking basic football skills completely lacking. One of his free kicks was so bad it's hard to believe he wasn't under the influence.

He looks like a massive mistake to me

The Vine is a fantastic pub 👌 Sadly not going today, was working out stupid prices via train and on holiday next week so watching the pennies, despite all the shite we put up with I'm still gutted not to be going though.

Well that reaffirms everyone's opinion that SS is a twat, thanks for sharing
