Was reading the comments of a Sheff Utd fan earlier who was saying his legs had clearly gone before they gave him a 12 month extension.

They all looked good v Newcastle but a few days later looked like they'd never seen each other before for 45 mins. I like the look of him but not sure i'd be risking starting him in this, could always throw him on up front later if it's not going well !

I think as time goes on we'll realise it was our former head coach who was the real issue with this one and maybe not the player.

The new Paul Senior.

6 months pay for Fleck out of the first Wharton instalment. I'm a bit puzzled you would assume i was thinking it had all gone on him, come on ! Anyway if it's a long term thing there'll surely be insurance to cover it but how much would they have had to shell out for that policy and knowing the level of incompetence will they even have bothered.

Braindead to give Fleck anything more than a pay as you play contract but this is pennywise pound foolish BRFC we are talking about. 6 months worth of the first Wharton instalment flushed straight down the bog. But hey it's fine only another punt and Mcfadz has turned out ok so far and we've no right to expect anything other than a 50% success rate at best. Beyond stupid signing.

Just weak lads in early stages of pro development more used to tip tap stuff which they were both signed for to be fair. Mortons gone down well at Hull this season and no doubt Moran will somewhere in the future, we are literally a stepping stone club for anybody now. We can't be messing around honouring agreements to suit loanee and their parent clubs now though too much at stake.

I don't want to see Moran start another game here.

Complete clowns they are they took the same number as us to Norwich despite being higher in the league and our game being on tv on a Sunday dinner time. They really do give Burnley a run for their money in the delusion stakes but unlike them lot they have very little to back it up with.

Because it's a frustrating style of play to watch and some just think oh they are negative they can't be arsed shit manager and players who don't care. When in fact it's designed to stop the opposition and protect a slow back four, going in nil nil at half time in a relegation scrap is never a disaster.

Don't pretend they don't exist there is nothing more piss boiling than hearing boos at half time when it's nil nil it's fucking pathetic. I remember us laying into the dingles for that when Dyche was first there it's six fingered territory that stuff and we are better than that. We need some urgency from the team obviously but we need patience and backing from the terraces there'll be plenty time and justification to kick off if we are rubbish and lose again but lets not contribute to it.

This is a real problem now and one the boo boys need to consider as we have to defend deep and maybe go long to cover the slowest defence in the league.

A forward thinking CEO with nous would have offered some incentive at the Newcastle game knowing it was a guaranteed big crowd with many part timers and knowing how important the league games now are. A 10% discount voucher, a free pie or pint, a free scarf ! Absolutely anything to offer a bit of incentive to get a few more through the door. They are useless to a man down there and couldn't care less, instead punting a 5 game package that barely 100 people will afford to commit to. I'm sick to the back teeth of these imcompetent buffoons stealing a living the only thing important now is getting 3 points and trying to get as much help as possible from the stands.

Hence the idiots all over SM saying 'great window' in Jan and 'JDT got everything he wanted' We have some of the games daftest fans.

Aside from promoted coaches and Appleton every manager Vs have employed has been unemployed having been sacked elsewhere. Tomasson bucked that trend having stepped down himself after winning two Swedish titles and was looking around for his next venture. They have reverted to type having yet again learned no lessons about anything but the prospect of relaunching a young coaches career, then maybe getting compen for him in 18 months time, i'd say is probably the driving factor behind this appointment not the impending spectre of a real relegation fight. That's how stupid they are

Correct but not sure what it has to do with my post on Sam Gallagher.

Even on transfer fees as suspected. They've never actually 'invested; anything to try and win promotion it's always been a case of the club just soaking up spare profit from VH group to keep the lights on. What benefit it has at their end only a forensic Indian business expert accountant could say.

No, he'd be struggling badly this season also and spouting the same old crap. The Eustace early days are mirroring the early TM ones and both scenarios have been created by incompetent chiefs and the need to sell good players to pay the bills.

We scrapped a point playing shite at Cardiff, that was a positive. We haven't managed it today despite a good second half because weak play by the usual suspects gave us a mountain to climb after 10 mins or so. That's a negative, where you negative on Tues ? Actually don't answer i can guess.

I haven't come around anywhere pal Any manager needs to build his own team in his own style with the time and budget he has available. He like anyone else coming in has to work with what he has right now and that isn't much. About time some finger pointing was done at the players they all suddenly turned into trojans when the cameras were here but within a few days they are mice again. He needs time but we need points right now so yeah not looking good but the Appletons vibes are more to do with the guy himself and the scenario hes walked into. We have to remember that he had a load of tripe as well but he did have Jordan Rhodes. So, sorry whatever i said 2 weeks ago still stands.

Not for me to defend them but they were under no obligation to keep the budget they did other than owing it to the fans and club employees to try and get back up. As always it was probaby the one or two of them who do actually take notice who listened to some right advice for once.

Gallagher has had one of his bad days today but previously hes been playing well so lets not rewrite history every time he has a stinker, he really isn't alone and never is. He is what he is. Main issue is there is no one to take his place when he's struggling or injured and we know where the blame lies for that, they brought in a 23 yr old German B level striker who can't cut it and was ill today anyway. We know where the blame lies and it isn't big Sam.

Of course they had a choice they could have moved them all on don't tell me for one min Graham, Mulgrew etc wouldn't have found a new home quick enough. Rovers then were just basically an agents vehicle they'd have had a field day if they had the nod from the owners.

Eustace is on the books of Wasserman who haven't had anyone in here in a while i don't think ? Anyway massive agency with a massive set of players on the books, a hell of a lot of non entities from all over the world worth a few hundred grand or so. I wonder if that came into the thinking when employing him, prospect of a catalogue full of cheapo players !!!

We defended like tigers in that game, took the one chance we had and the keeper Jake Kean turned in his one and only world class performance out of thin air......
