The fixture list is irrelevant when we are this bad. Rotherham, Huddersfield, QPR were all games you'd think on paper we'd do OK in but we didn't. A manager that sticks to champagne football and has got no idea how to set a team up properly. He's useless. I genuinely can't see us getting enough wins unless we bring in a new manager and see that new manager bounce.

We're probably in as big a mess now as we were when we were last relegated to league one, if not worse. We've seemingly missed out on signing Dunc in similar circumstances to how we missed out on signing O'Brien last year; we have a manager who is out of his depth in my opinion, just look at our goals against column and that will tell you why I think that; there are question marks over the extent of Szmodics' injury; an exec board who are not up to the job as they've proved time and time again; and owners who are terrible beyond belief. I am now of the mindset that I expect us to go down as there are so many fundamental problems at the club. It's not just about a bad run of form. The only hope is that Stoke seem in as big a mess as we are and we do have a game in hand on QPR. I don't see how we put enough wins together to get out of it though. We are shockingly bad.

We are in dire straits on and off the pitch. We are going down this season. Sad to see what is happening.

We have to have a change. Need a new manager to give us a chance of staying up.

JDT is useless. Seriously bad.

We are unbelievably bad. I never thought there was a chance we would get relegated this season but now I'd say it's more likely than unlikely.

Fully deserved. Please go JDT.

I'd take a draw right now. We are that bad. That feels unlikely with what we've seen so far.

Utterly embarrassing. QPR are dreadful but all they have to do is lump it forward and Armstrong is in on goal everytime. We are very lucky not to have conceded. Moran and Siggy are dreadful players and need to come off. Trondstad and Wharton been very good. We need to change shape at HT. No idea how JDT is still in a job tbh. Hopefully it's already been decided he leaves after this game regardless of the result.

This is appalling. JDT out. He's clueless.

A club doesn't ban their Head Coach from speaking to the media unless that person is on their way out. It will be announced pretty quickly after the game I would imagine. The defensive record has been shocking and the results have been incredibly poor this season so he's been lucky not to have been potted earlier. Still, I dread to think who we appoint next. They'll be a puppet.

He'd be excellent. JDT has been poor this season imo so I'm not too disappointed that he's going. The circumstances around why he's going and the general state of the club is very worrying though.

He won't. He'll be gone after the game.

JDT to leave after the QPR game must be pretty short odds. It's not worked our for him this season and hes probably become too outspoken for the boards liking. He'll go on to today very good things if/when he manages a club with far better plays than we have. We're a shambles right now.

Happy with Dunc signing but the overall feeling about this window is disappointment and concern. We're no doubt weaker on the 1st Feb than we were on the 1st Jan. Super Sammi will mean we most likely won't go down this season, but the downward trajectory we're on is alarming. The midfield area looks very weak. If Tronstad gets injured then we are in trouble. Got no one in there that can make a tackle if he's missing. Garret is a liability right now, he's talented but not ready to start regular. Ayari looks talented but too lightweight. JRC is a good CM but struggles to stay fit.

Stoke are another joke club. Their transfer policy is way off. Can't imagine their fans are too pleased with signing Ennis. Also, reading up about our new loan signing from Liverpool and it appears our transfer wizard GB has pulled off another coup: "Maybe he's got better #Rovers fans. It's been a year after all. But Billy Koumetio is the worst defender I've ever seen at @FKAustriaWien. He was just calamitous and a disaster waitin to happen. In a Championship relegation battle, he could lose you games. #FAKL"

Dismal deadline day so far and a dismal window overall. Add that to dismal window in the summer and it's no surprise that our league position is rapidly on the decline. Hull are the big winners in the Jan market. We were streets ahead of them last season so it just shows what a decent owner can do for a club. And we're a great example of what a terrible owner can do for a club.

Probably. Just read the LT story and Elliot essentially says he has no idea if McGuire is joining or not 😆

So the rumours look like they've potentially been exaggerated. It looked like the Wharton deal may be off last night and that's why we pulled the plug on cash signings. Wharton deal back on though.

What a joke these owners are. The rumours of them pulling the plug on all deals better not be true.

He's hoping it will be back on. I.e. If someone else tweets that the deal is happening, he will coincidentally have received a text message telling him the same thing...

Some reputable links to a couple of good players. Will we do our usual and flop at the last hurdle and miss out on these players or can we actually get them done this time. I know which scenario is more likely!

Kyle signs and I think it's a clever signing on a short term deal. We are a soft touch and don't do the basics well enough, so it's good to add someone who does the ugly side of the game very well. We've become very unbalanced with too many 'artists'.

We're miles off the top 6 this season in reality. Staying up is the priority. I suspect we're selling him now rather than the summer to help with running costs given all the uncertainty around when Venkys can send across money.

Diaz, Rhodes, Gally, Hyam, Szmodics, Armstrong...none of them were cheap.
