That and not having a Championship standard GK and CF on the books.

BBD diving in his own box, which results in a Nottingham Forest goal. True blue (also he's still soft as shit).

I feel for the Hull fans - that's a loooooooong drive home for such an abject performance.

Wagner again.

Love the down votes you're getting. Every other post laments that we have a shockingly poor squad and yet the same fans expect us to get after teams. Eustace has come in and done a job. Let's see if the taps are turned on again in the summer.

The problem isn't Broughton, the problem is that due to their dodgy financial dealings we haven't invested in the squad in 3 transfer windows - and we're approximately £22m in the black (not including the Raya money, or the A. Wharton add-ons) in that time.

Should have been booked for diving.

The 2023 January transfer window when we failed to invest in the team (the transfer deals were deliberately sabotaged in my opinion). The money was officially stopped in the summer (with drastic cut backs of the playing squad) and this state of play continued in January 2024.

If we go a 4th straight transfer window without investing in the squad, yes.

You're talking to a card-carrying member of the JDT fan club who was devastated that the Venkys poisoned the well so badly that JDT paid to get out of his contract. He's a fantastic manager. Eustace is a Championship clogger - I just feel he's being unfairly crucified on here because he's followed JDT.

Not quite. Eustace has steadied the ship, but he has absolutely nothing to throw on upfront to change a game... and the starting options outside of Szmodics are shit to begin with. Sheff Weds have gone on a ridiculous run (by hook or crook) - they were dead and buried at Christmas. If they stay up their manager is Manager of the Season without a doubt.

It is when you look at the squad he's been left.

If you'd given Mowbray's budget to JDT we'd be playing Premier League football right now. I don't know how he managed it, because he's far from charming, but he managed to convince the owners to back him with significant cash and allowed him to have free run of the place (appointed Waggott, Venus was our defacto Head of Recruitment etc).

Picked him up from Aston Villa last year: https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/nathan-dlamini/profil/spieler/1112481

Yep, incredibly lucky. You make your own luck with the way they play - just relentlessly positive and attacking - but just look at our game at Ewood. Two 'offside' goals and a GK throwing a weak shot into his own net.

Under this regime? Absolutely. I don't have the stomach to watch my team slowly sink down the leagues with absentee owners.

He's a better shot stopper and better positionally than Pears. Pears is slightly better at crosses - but he's still a puncher, rather than a catcher - and better with his feet.

xG doesn't take into account who takes the shot. It's why players over and under perform their xG.

Wasn't that house seized as part of the court case?

Nixon's response on Twitter as to why they won't sell is "they want the Premier League" (i.e they want to leave us in the state they found us in). Absolutely nothing they do remotely backs this statement up.

I wouldn't buy a L1 season ticket.

Sell Pears to another Championship team - if not, League 1. Try to sell Wahlstedt to a European side, but of the two he's the one I'd rather keep. If you sell both, get a good Championship GK in and an older, cheaper, but reliable backup. If you sell one just get the good Championship GK in.

Does it really need organising? We all know what happens at the end of the last game of the season - the players come back out with their families. An 80% empty stadium was the fans showing that they were thoroughly pissed off with what they've seen this season.

Vardy really does have the personality of a 5 year old hopped up on Sunny D doesn't he? What a clown.

He'll be playing in the First XI shortly - we're awful this year.
