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

Never heard anything like it in my life. But, in all honesty nothing I've read over the last few pages surprises me in the slightest. I don't even know how the members of the FF can even be bothered attending if this is the outcome. From the clubs perspective, this whole shambles is also doing more harm than good. It's easy to forget members of this message board are slightly more privy to things like this, although I have noticed Glen's statement being shared in FB groups which is good. I'd be tempted to just post the minutes in full, what's the worst that can happen? The club refuse to take part in further meetings? So? What purpose are they even serving anyway?

Can see this panning out a bit like NEC last week. WBA 2 up at half time, awful first half from us. Kargbo on at half time and sparks a bit of a fight back We score 1 and the game fizzles out to a 2-1 home win.

I've seen a few neutrals listing us as dark horses for the play offs. Tbf just quoting us narrowly missing out last season and VI being a 'good fit' for the club. Like with anything related to us, only us fans know the full picture off the pitch and on it so I can see why they come to such verdicts.

Miyoshi would be a great signing. Would be nice to sign someone we've seen play and we're confident would do well here too! Bit concerning hearing its been on the cards for a while though and still not done...

Yes agreed on Batth, although I'll admit I wasn't elated to sign him at the time after his spell at Norwich. Likewise yes as it stands we will miss Dolan, from someone who wasn't his biggest fan....

Same applies, how on earth can you label someone a downgrade without even seeing them play? I like Callum Brittain and wish he would have stayed, but let's not make out he is defensively flawless! He was made to look suspect many times last season, in his best season for us. Miller is clearly a different player reading what he's said and others who have seen him have said. Until proven otherwise he's a replacement in my mind for now, rather than an automatic downgrade.

You're wrong, he's shite, the people on here who've never seen him play said so.

The pursuit of Hedges was always very weird, we were after him for months on end. He did ok in Scotland, just ok though, not enough for us to be desperate to sign him! I can't actually believe he's only been here 3 years either, feels like an eternity, probably 1 of few contract extentions nobody was arsed about us triggering, but we did. I do find it very odd though how many people are saying with absolute certainty that Miller is a downgrade on Brittain without even seeing him play.

He wasn't very useful in his last 2 championship seasons - 66 appearances and 13 goals? Those are worse than Sam Gallagher stats

Pretty sure Nixon linked him to us and Burnley, Eustace said it was bollocks (thankfully). He's stealing a living, there's a reason desperate Hull are probably his only option.

Boro also trying to persuade Akpom to return, if they're going head to head with Brum for him, you'd expect it'll cost them a few quid.... They've been very quite on the transfer front Boro but look to be making a few moves now...

Why on earth would we be in for Dele Alli? Fabregas gave him a lifeline and he's obviously fucked it up. He needs to just retire.

Where have you plucked this information from? West Brom have had a good window with Heggebo/Philips/Campbell. They haven't lost anyone of note either. Added to that, Dike is injured and turning into a right crock, so scrap that part of your post too......

Despite the stick he gets on here, Pears is average championship keeper standard I would say. His problem is, with a week to go to the new season all teams surely have a first choice keeper sorted now. I doubt he wants to play second fiddle, so he's not in an ideal situation..... I can see Buckley going to league 1 or even 2 purely on loan though as his wages will be a stretch for most teams. He will sulk about the place wherever he goes, if anywhere.

There is no Mercers winger, he's just taken a speculative punt saying there's a winger in the building because that position needs filling.

Not sure how Nixon can diagnose the requirement for surgery or quote recovery timescales unless he's VERY close to medical staff at the club. I would have thought surgery is pretty rare, it isn't a serious injury, just an annoyance.

In fairness he was absolutely prolific at youth level, not sure what's gone on since, injuries, possibly home sick as well, either way it's been a waste of time for all parties. Does anyone know if he even played when he went on loan to Lierse? Can't see any records 🤔
