Didn't think Smallwood was good last night.Hoping we can see the return of the Smallwood that we seen in the first half of last season.Not convinced he will show enough quality in the championship to keep his place but hope he proves me wrong

From reading Mowbray's comments our starting line up v Ipswich will more or less be what it was last night. With Williams seemingly a Mowbray favourite then id expect him to come in for Bell.Id rather we went with Bell,one thing we definitely lack is a bit of pace and Bell does give us that. Palmer is a good signing but I do think we need to bringing in one genuine winger with pace,someone who will look to hug the touchline and stretch teams. Pace hurts teams and we don't have a lot of it in our side,we need a Chapman or an Armstrong a player who will prevent teams from playing a high line.

He is on loan so yes decent.Quality player but at end of day only currently with us till January. That let article this morning is just setting us up for more loan signings.Mowbray said the same thing last season about being able to bring in the loan players on permanent deals yet the only one who did was Downing, a squad centre back

Don't know mate I was at the match.Sharpe has tweeted that it is happening

The deal will be done the Telegraph wouldn't be running with it if it wasn't the case. Clubs will have known all summer that Palmer is available to loan seems unlikely that teams will all of a sudden swoop in for him when a deal has been agreed to take him here

Derby won't be in for him.They have already signed Mount from Chelsea,Wilson from Liverpool and Jozefoon from Brentford.They already have Tom Lawrence in their squad too

Sharpe and the Telegraph saying the paperwork will be completed Monday

Everton looked poor but we did play with a high intensity and didn't give them chance to settle on the ball. Though Samuel looked good tonight and Bell added a bit of pace on the other side. Dack and Lenihan were very good and Evans looked decent perhaps the signing of Davenport and the emergence of Travis have made him up his effort and game

Yeah I thought so too and I don't like Evans, Evans is talented it just looks like he is only putting in 60% but tonight he was very good as was Samuel.Thought Bell looked good at times too

But Mowbray has told the fans repeatedly that the budget he recieved was competitive and he was happy with it. So taking Mowbray at his word means the lack of activity isn't down to the owners.

I agree but the fact remains we 9 days away from the start of the season and we haven't replaced Chapman/Armstrong, Antonnson and Payne. We can complain all we want about being quoted ridiculous prices but that is the market we are in,the fee's being paid out is the going rate, what are we going to do not pay a transfer fee again because we are unhappy with the market? I'm not advocating signing players for 10s of millions but if the owners have any ambition then the Manager should be given funds to bring in 3 or 4 around the 2 million mark. You have to speculate to accumulate and if that means we have to sell a good player every season to go again and improve the squad then so be it.But we really are short in forward areas at the moment it's getting very very worrying. If the Venkys are uncomfortable with market and don't want to spend on bringing in permanent signings that would improve us and take us foward then they should be looking to sell the club

Yes he says Yes he says buy's doesn't look too likely .May be loans Like I said in my initial post hope he doesn't know but even you have to admit things ain't looking positive on the transfer front

Yes replying to someone with the Twitter handle...@Heyes_Will8

Hopefully he is talking crap but Nixon tweeted that Mowbray wanted a couple of cheap buys but looking like loans only now

Marriot confirmed at Derby. Why can't we see Maddison confirmed at Rovers would be nice going to the match tonight with an exciting signing confirmed. Worryingly it's looking like nothing is close

Yeah mate

It is worrying that all of a sudden we are now signing 3 players instead of 4. What happened to Mowbray wanting to bring a goalkeeper in?I remember an article in the Telegraph with Mowbray where he said he wanted to bring in an experienced Goalkeeper. I like Rich Sharpe but the Telegraph is terrible they run the same story multiple times

It doesn't close in 7 days it's two weeks today it closes.Still we really should be looking to have our signings in before ipswich

Leeds agree a 3 million fee with Wolves for Douglas.Cracking signing that he was one of Wolves better performers last season

Of course but still with him being involved in pre season and seemingly doing well then wouldn't be surprised to see Boro offer him a new deal.He won't be a starter for them but he wouldn't be a starter here either according to Mowbray

Traore from Boro rumoured to be joining Wolves for 18 million.One less winger at Boro less likely Chapman will be moved on

If what unleaded said is true then Mowbray should be on the blower to the owners asking for more funds. We are 10 days away from kick off and our attack is looking very weak.

Sharpe reckons nothing imminent,Well he tweeted that yesterday afternoon

Yeah they have invested heavily over the past few seasons.Nixon saying they are trying to sell Vydra to Leeds for 10 million and interest from Stoke in Tom Lawrence

Trying to get Marriot in aswell. It does show how crazy the market is when players of Waghorns standing are going for 8 million
