Despite the commentary team?

You mean Bambi on Ice?

Absolutely not.

I stand corrected - it's £180m now over three seasons that they've spent (another £40m so far this summer). Absolutely bonkers when the rest of the Championship doesn't have a pot to piss in.

I think prior to his hamstring tear it was a justifiable gamble (although Mowbray did love his diminutive players), but since then he's lost all his pace and just can't hack in out wide at this level.

They literally got promoted playing the same way (and troubled a lot of PL teams last season with the same style).

Who is Dolan outrunning?

You'd expect them to have a good squad when they've spent over £140m on players in the last two seasons. Of course that didn't help them embarrassing themselves last season, but with competent management they'll have too much for most teams this season.

Not as good as Szmodics though. Nailed on for relegation are Ipswich - spent a lot of money on Championship players this summer.

They must have injuries, right? Playing a load of kids and look shite. To be fair they only went up last time because two career journeymen #9s had the seasons of their lives.

The haircut doesn't help - looks a right twat.

Another one out the door - any injuries at the back and we're stuffed. It's amazing how efficient we are at pressing the right buttons when we need to isn't it?

Vale is good technically - you can see that. He just has nothing going for him physically or mentally.

Resigned, apparently.

Have they paid for Brewster yet? Scummy operators.

Seems to be out injured a lot that lad.

I don't think anyone was patting themselves on the back over Telalovic. He was a desperate cheap punt after the owners turned the taps off again.

Then he goes to a poorer team in a weaker league.

They look like they met on the car park for the first time at 3pm today. Nailed on for relegation.

Lowe is a fabulous signing for them.

He looks rough for 38 too.

Tronstad played nearly 3,000 minutes of Championship football last season. We were lucky he was mostly injury free. Travis loves an injury / a loss of form and Buckley is a bust at this point. Any 3rd CM we loaned in would see A LOT of minutes - 'backup' or not.

There's no point wasting a loan spot on a lad that's 4th choice. Loans have to improve your starting XI (or your bench). We have a very good Academy to rely on for depth.

Both? It's an absolute meat grinder of a season with long periods of 2 games a week. He'll play a lot as our 3rd CM.
