14 goals in seven seasons. Those two goals could prove vital in our efforts to stay up this time. 🙄

100%.

As long as we survive.

Don't suppose there is one. Mowbray probably won't give a **** as he probably knows he won't be here next season even if he does manage to see this one out.

This loaning players in so we can loan our own players out is absolutely ludicrous. The only people benefitting are agents taking their cut out of the deal.

Why do you keep saying "Announce X, Y, or Z" when there's absolutely no prospect of us signing any of them?

Nope. Will just stop Dolan getting game time. Even looks like him.

Haven't even got the one player we actually need the most yet. (The Armstrong replacement)

Without the goals?

That is exceptionally uninspiring. Never scored more than 11 in England and at 26 not likely to be getting any better. What's the standard in French Ligue 2 like?

Well done. Hope you have something substantive to report in terms of a decent permanent striker as opposed to the usual catalogue of excuses and hard luck stories. It really will be an absolute disgrace if, having known in advance for some time Armstrong was leaving and getting a headline fee before sell on clauses of £18 m we fail to bring in a half decent replacement in at least the £3m sort of range.

You should know by now we only ever end up with whoever is left at the last minute that the parent Clubs want to offload on loan. Not the players we actually need in the positions we actually need them in.

And so it begins.

One of the problems with Mowbray is he has always seemingly prioritised quantity over quality.

JFHC. Dalglish only had to walk into a room back in the day and it lit up. Mowbray has neither charisma nor is he a decent manager.

I don't actually think he's coming but you aren't half painting yourself into a corner re Obafemi chaddy. I bet you'll be saying he's the best thing since sliced bread in the unlikely event we do sign him! 🙂

Couldn't agree more. I'd be gutted if he was the AA replacement.

Or maybe they've had to do their usual, having to go back cap in hand to the owners at the last minute for more money having drawn a blank? Anyway, when it looked like we weren't going to sign anyone, you were steadfast in your view that this was the right thing to do as we couldn't afford anyone due to the finances. No doubt you will be then writing in to Mowbray and Waggott to complain if we do spend a decent amount of money tomorrow?

Cuthbert, Dibble and Grub are useful though. One for the youngsters there.

I think in our current situation we have to pour as much as we can into the starting X1 and the Academy lads such as Cirino HAVE to be the back up. This is partly how we got into such a mess having a ridiculously bloated squad. We've had about fifteen midfielders for years until this summer.

Devil's advocate mode on: Cairney was pretty inconsistent when he was here due to Bowyer not having enough faith in him. I wouldn't have sold him personally but he only really showed his true ability after leaving here. Without a crystal ball at the time think Raya was the bigger error. King I'm not having at all. He was bloody useless when he was here and stunk the place out with his attitude. He's one player I don't think you can blame the Club for with benefit of hindsight type arguments.

One hundred and eighty!

Can we realistically afford two first team quality players in every position at the moment? I'm rather more worried we haven't got a first team quality starting X1! I take on board the comments of the likes of Parson Blue about being unconvinced by Pickering. I wasn't overly convinced by his early run outs either but thought he stuck to his task quite well on Saturday considering the midfield was being over-run. I think we have far more pressing priorities than a back up LB.

Not at less than £1m , be better off keeping him for the season. We'd also be better off getting rid of Mowbray and bringing in a manager that rates him rather than losing the player for peanuts.

Yes, sorry just seen that on the LT website. The player has never played for his parent club Brighton.
