Even shite teams like Reading are splashing the cash. Relegation Battle is what we are looking at I’m afraid.

I’ve liked a lot of lineups so far on this page but this the what I would do.

How much they end up getting Joao for??

He has managed to extrapolate some finances out of Venkys

I want him to move upstairs in Director of Football Role, and Johnson to be given the job Head Coach job.

I forgot how quick Gallagher was in stride, there was a wee burst at one point yesterday, good to see.

Think Dack will be sold before Thurs if someone stumps up the 12m+ it would take. Maybe Leeds or West Brom.

Downing should have been at left back and Rothwell left wing. Nyambe should have started for Mulgrew, and Rankin Costello should be given the nod at right back. Brereton should have started for Gallagher. That’s if we are going off preseason/end of season form. Charlton parked the bus, and absolutely schooled us in shithousery. They pretty much spent 3mins in our half, the entire second half. Controversial : Will be chuffed if someone panics and goes balisitc and offers 12m+ for Dack before Thursday. Apart from a couple of flashes, it was like playing with 10men for most of the game. For all the ball we had, he barely got involved. And we have to play this putrid formation around him, it’s not worth it. Both Lenihan and Dack have gotten away scot free today, arguably our two star players. Dack was useless and Lenihan got beat for the second goal, and his distribution was shocking. What can you say about Mulgrew and Bennett that hasn’t been said on here already. Mulgrew has had it, and he knows it too, he is now nervous and adapting himself to not making major blunders. Bennett has been an imposter for me for years. This surely must be the end. I have seen him play well maybe twice in the 3 years, and both times was at centre midfield. Don’t wish him ill will and he has been a good servant, but he isn’t good enough for a decent championship side. I really wished we had spent the entire summer working on the 3-5-2 formation. With Johnson and the young lads all experienced playing it, I thought I was a foregone conclusion. The problem is we had no centre half’s. —Tosin-Anton*-Lenihan— JRC——————Downing ——Travis —Johnson—— ——--Rothwell————— —-Brereton Gallagher—— *Anton is the boy we are tracking from Hannover

Lenihan should not be excused either, absolutely woeful today too. Your centre half shouldn’t be getting beat at corners like that.

Assuming Tosin and Lenihan start at CB when we are settled down, with Mulgrew, Nyambe, Magloire and Williams all as back ups. Not sure we need another, unless we switch to three at the back, which Mowbray has threatened at times. JRC will win the RB spot at some point this season, he is sensational.

Always liked him, big athletic. Goalscorer

This is like Christmas Eve when you were a kid. I can’t help it!

Paid for ifollow already but won’t watch tomorrow if Rothwell doesn’t start.

Yeah Ben Marshall can take a run and jump. That's a tenner on Nuttall to be top goalscorer in league one at 41/1. syndicate? Just have a feeling.

I will be certainly lumping in Nuttall for top goalscorer in that league. Just had a knack, loves a tap in!

Went to buy my budding 9 year old football star a new pair of boots, “oh I’ll check the Copa Mundials”I thought, needless to say we wait on those.

Any chance of a bidding war for Ritchie Smallwood?

Got a link? Is the Gk the Pollersbeck guy?

Mental. A loan deal should be relatively straight forward one would imagine.

Where is my bloody centre half I was promised??

Can’t believe the season starts on Saturday. How can you not be excited? Sounds like we will have some defenders show up this week that we desperately need. I would start,from the likely options available: ——————Walton——————— Nyambe Lenihan Mulgrew Downing ————Travis——Johnson———— Rothwell———Dack——-Armstrong ——————-Brereton—————— No one wants Charlie starting or Downing at LB, but here we are. You could bump Nyambe in with Lenihan, and play Bennett or JRC at Right Back. The five in midfield pick themselves, Armstrong and Rothwell cutting inside off their wings, switching sides too. Brereton gets the start as he has looked good in pre season and deserves the jersey, Graham and Gallagher are great options off the bench for now.

20-25 Goals a season if played regularly in league one

Looks like he eats people in his spare time. Exactly what we are looking for, will be perfect!

Bell at Left Back for now, and Rothwell for Gallagher, switch with Brereton. If Tony is telling truths about players being evaluated in friendlies, that should be the team vs Charlton.

Dack has done the square root of fuck all. I can’t help but think we have lost the chance to sell high.
