Gaurentee that won't happen. 1 in 9 signings this summer with any kind of experience at this level.

Never said Birmingham were any good. They were poor, didn't look like scoring for 90 minutes and still beat us. What does that tell you? We got exactly what we deserved against them, nothing because we can't defend properly as a team. Norwich should have been at least 3 up before half time before the penalty. They deserved the win based just on that half. We created one really good chance and made a huge mess of it, then rest was just them sitting off us letting us have the ball as they knew we wouldn't score, because we have no goalscorers in the team.

Completely agree on this.

He will definitely get injured on international duty.

Being the better team and losing is the sign of a side that will struggle. We got exactly what we deserved against Birmingham because we have took out over 1000 games experience at this level to be replaced with just over 100. We did not deserve a point yesterday, they sat off us in second half and let us have the ball as they were comfortable that we wouldn't hurt them. They should have been going into half time 3-0 up.

Last week's game was an outlier against a side ravaged with injury and illness, most sensible folk could see that.

I wouldn't say so. Ismael just isn't very good Chaddy, you figured that out after a few games but spectacularly backtracked for some reason. Granted recruitment hasn't helped him out much replacing most of our championship experience with cheap foreign punts, but still.

It's like the last 15 years never happened. As has been said by many, this regime have hit the jackpot with this fanbase. We have read this script before, replacing experienced championship players with cheap foreign punts will only end up one way. Now while I dont automatically think we'll be relegated, I don't see us spending any significant time outside the bottom 6 this season. Another record broken by this ownership yesterday, it's the first time we have lost our opening two home games at this level or lower since 1956.

Is that over there first 16 games each, or is it over Ismaels 16 league games vs Coyles 31 league games? I'm guessing the latter, if we're going to be fair we should compare there first 16 league games against each other. Ismael - Won 5, Drew 3, Lost 8 Coyle - Won 3, Drew 4, Lost 9 18pts from 16 games for Ismael, 13pts from 16 for Coyle.

Out of habit folk still going in there is reckon. Was willing around the fanzone and the big screen was off (not that you can tell what's happening when its on anyway) then all of a sudden the Middlesbrough/Sheffield Utd game came on for the last 10 minutes. Such a odd and strange set up at the club these days.

De Neve, Henriksson and Tavares are particularly poor. We're in massive trouble if those 3 end up as regulars.

Sides will be licking there lips playing against a midfield with Sidnei Tavares in it this season. Funniest thing I have read/heard in ages that he's an upgrade on Travis.

Yeah his dad was a really good player. Was roughly a 10-15 goal a season man at Bolton/Chelsea then his goals really dried up when he got to Barcelona. I hope he's half as good as his dad if he was to sign as I really enjoyed watching him play.

Neither will end up here I'm pretty sure about that.

That weird RoversXtra X account says we are trying to sign Bailey Cadamarteri from Sheff Wed on a permanent deal before loaning him back to Wednesday for the season. No sources or anything though.

Read he was going Preston

I think it will end up with... Leonard staying No strikers signed Midfielder on loan in on deadline day, not Browne.

If that is true then Leonard won't be going there. MacAnthoney isnt one to be messed about, especially not by inexperienced know nothings like Pasha.

Yep. Personally dont think there's anything in Soumano, Smit or Gudjohnson, few more random names will come out yet.

Nixon linking us with a striker every hour in the hope that he gets one right.

I have a similar opinion to Mani on Leonard. The big if, is his body holding up to play most games in a 46 game season when he is first choice. There is definitely something to work with there. Loan would have been ideal, but as said above I suspect its not purely football reasons this one. Good luck to him, if his body holds up, by time he's 25/26 I could see him being a 10/15 goal a season man at this level.

Not sure he would qualify for a ESC place?

Soumano isn't happening at £5m, not sure why he's desperately trying to push that it might. He was like this with Kapaudi, even carrying on for a good week after we had signed McLoughlin when it was clear he was the alternative. Didn't have a clue with Morishita, was still trying to push Afolayan was an option yesterday. As for Browne, they aren't signing a 30 year old for any kind of cash, and Sunderland will no doubt want ris of him permanently with who they have bought in.

1 at best i feel. Certainly can't see 3 coming in.

He's also taking credit for Adam Whartons debut on Big Sams podcast.
