Thought exactly the same. Needs someone you know will finish off all that fine work. Sammi came to mind!😭

Its a bloody change eh? You have to admit its overdue?

I'd be surprised if any of the newcomers starts tomorrow. Too early. Anyway those who do start will know they are playing for their places.

Pity we weren't playing Burnley in a month or so.

We look very well equipped in mid-field but hasn't CB position been neglected? They're either old or injured. Any injury to Carter, and he has been injury-prone, and we are in trouble.

He was better than a free transfer though. The money we have wasted.

We definitely heed another centre-back whose not mid to late 30's. I've not seen this guy so I wouldn't know if he's good enough or not.

If we're 4-0 up!!

Good!

Yes but its either buy him or keep the floodlights on.

I'm merely saying that this is how we operate now. We've gone from signing as certain winners as you could find under Jack, to players with reasonable prospects, to signing virtually anyone to get the numbers in with a prayer that some might turn out OK. So I won't be getting excited about anyone we get, I'll judge on results only. I'm not doing cartwheels about an Hungarian keeper I've never heard of, but, who knows? We might hit the jackpot--we must get something right sometimes. There's money but no spend. we've left it as late as ever, we're in real trouble. But, one more window papering over the cracks is all we have.

Potentially all 3 could flop. That's where we are----taking a punt eg Televic.

I suppose the defeat could turn out to be a blessing. we will need all of our meagre resources to stay up. But if you look back at recent years our best memories are of Cup successes, going toe to toe with teams above us. No memories from this season to expect.

You're assuming we're going to spend? Why?

The plan is to continue to exist. Why, nobody knows.

All this is being hidden for the time-being by a good start. Nobody should be fooled---we've been here before. As you say winter beckons with injuries and suspensions. How many bad runs after Christmas have we had?

My mistake! Just saw the teams up on the tele as I walked past it. Obviously got my bearings wrong!

Rushworth starts for Brighton against ManU. Odd if they're looking to loan him out?

Carry on like we are for much longer and we won't have a pitch to worry about.

We shouldn't come to any conclusion on the basis of highlights of one game should we?

So they could support us but they won't?

All true but we're still effectively chasing one spot not 3. No argument whatsoever about the culpability of the owners and those running the club.

Don't expect anything.There's no money to run the club in the foreseeable future. We'll get by by selling everyone anyone wants till we have nothing left to sell. At that point Venkys will surely wriggle back down their hole and we'll be left with what?

Well I didn't say impossible, I said very hard! 3 promotion places available in theory----1 in practice.

Its like Burnley, will have a Premier League season for one season, followed by a promotion season the next. Very hard for the rest of us to get out of this League.
