Could have been an instant classic without that sponsor

Chaddy - why will you not be answering any questions? Was there anything said that he didn’t want shared? It sounds like you were reassured but what specifically gave you any hope that he wasn’t just playing to the crowd?

Nyambe going to Wigan is criminal he’s far better than that, feel his agent has done him here, he’d be much better off swallowing his pride and signing here

They want to point out the likes of Callum Wright, went to Leicester and since has only been loaned to Cheltenham, opportunities may have arisen here

Very worrying and tally’s with all the talk of Spurs interest If he hasn’t signed yet (as we were assured) then you have to think it’s unlikely he will with much more exciting offers on the table Potentially a great players and a huge windfall missed - again

Telegraph now backtracking on the signed deal and confirming no deal is signed with Philips and talks are ongoing You have to think if he’s not signed now he’s unlikely to especially if Spurs are in his agents ear, could be potential millions lost again here

Worryingly though our season starts in 2 weeks, hope we have enough games to get sharp

Left back and right back can’t come in quick enough

Diaz miss much worse it was bread and butter for a striker and he just ran straight into Hart

Pickering is so far out of his depth they are getting in behind him so easily

Noticed Ash Phillips is wearing a sponsorless shirt tonight I assume due to his age and regulations about being able to advertise vapes

Paging our resident Gibraltan edit sorry I believe it’s Gibraltarian

Nicer than the blurry leaked pic for sure

Hope there’s a trialist in the mix today just for fun

There hasn’t been any murmurs that anyone is less than 100% behind the manager

Halfway to the halfway line then

HR here how can I help?

Apparently this kid scored from the halfway line for the youth team for us last week not sure if on trial or a contract

Just quoting this to come back to as I hope I look daft very soon but I’m be amazed if we do sign players equal to or better than Khadra, Nyambe, Lenihan and Rothwell in this window

The club doing a good job making the sponsor look worse by making the clear box around it visible here

Not sure if I like the weird bleach splash gradient, I think I do as appreciate an attempt at something different now and then

Also are nipple height sponsors a thing now? Looks like the whole shirt was printed too high

Trying to work out the gradient on it, so it’s darker blue at the top and bottom and slightly lighter in the middle it seems I think it’s actually pretty nice but that tacky, awful logo ruins it edit - the chap in the mosque has no sponsor on his shirt, maybe it’s an option

Home and third kits look nice enough, always keen on red accents on the home kit and the rose is a nice touch on the third But what the hell is that away kit about, it’s lazy and pointless, should have just scrapped it or used as a third if necessary

Awful news. Imagine he was on such a high with the new job and then tragedy out of nowhere Rest in Peace Karl
