This weapon has reproduced...?

Coleman would be bare-faced trolling of the fanbase and about as blatant as you can get in terms of 'look what we can get away with, here'. And if he comes, you know who will be appointed as his number 2...

Similar to what's been said - 3 points is 3 points. Thought we pressed pretty well and a bit more aggressive than usual. Cashin was very good, goal aside. Cantwell frustratingly poor, he's not just a luxury player at this point, he's wasting attacks and failing to make simple passes. Baradji was heading that way towards the end (having had a decent game), but was clearly knackered.

That relegation was absolutely not on TM. The rot at the club was deep and almost irretrievable. He then did a lot of good work to pull various bits of the club back together, not least the relationship with the fans. However, did indeed undo a lot of that in his final couple of years, with the points almost mentioned.

He'd have to do a bit of backtracking on the whole 'that NE to NW commute each week is too much' thing. But I'd take TM back over VI every day of the week, certainly as a short term option. I'd still take Big Sam over both of them, however long he's been out of the game. We'd finish comfortably in the top half this season.

He definitely works hard - that element hasn't been in doubt since he's been with us. And I've been a fan of him, though today he hasn't been great (even before the petulence). Started poorly overall, but a pretty decent second quarter of the game. Created a few chances and zipped the ball around a bit. Performance-wise, probably the best we've seen for a while.

Hull fans singing 'Blackburn's a shithole, I want to go home' is the most ironic of ironies. Hull is the definition of a shithole.

I had wondered where the money had come from, for the signings / bids this window. Now it makes sense, they've been banking on making some £££ from Alebiosu.

Hope your wife (or husband) agrees.

I've had this thought plenty of times. If they were intentionally trying to sabotage the club and make the fans suffer, I'm genuinely not sure what else they could realistically do. Almost every step has been either criminally incompetent or downright malicious.

Maybe Suhail is a fucking imbecile. Either that, or he's (maybe) intentionally sabotaging the club. Either way, he has no place at our historic club.

Going back to the 90's again, Billy McKinlay was one who liked a tackle and didn't back down from a confrontation. But yeah, otherwise Todd, Batty, Flitcroft, Hendry, Nelsen in my lifetime.

Agreed - though we have been doing this for a long time. We never got near to paying £5m for Gallagher, or £6m/£7m for BBD, as that would have required promotion / etc. The same way that our outbound transfers are add-on or clause heavy. And, for the record, I think Broughton had a strategy and it was clearly hamstrung by interference within the club. Szmodics, Hyam, Brittain, Tronstad are all significantly better than anything we've signed since. As someone else has already said: O'Brien and Undav arrive in that transfer window and we're probably still a Prem club now.

I'm not sure where he's originally from (midlands?), but you're right that it's a factor. I'm a northern boy and it would take a huge amount of persuasion (and money) to even make me consider moving down south, in this context.

There are gems in the lower divisions. The lad that Ipswich are about to buy from Bristol (I think) came from L1 also. Based on how poor most of the Gestede foreign gambles have been, surely we could have picked up a few unpolished diamonds from L1/L2?

Said this for a long time and I'm convinced of it. And I'm equally convinced that the snowball was the pivotal moment.

That'll be our generation in 30/40 years, talking about the olden days of 'Super Atko signing for next to nowt from Scunny', or 'Jason Wilcox, took some stick that lad', or 'Ryan Nelsen, big Kiwi literally on a free', or 'eee, who remembers Michel Salgado'... You get the idea (pass the Worthers Originals).

I did see the first releases earlier today, but my first impressions were that it was an attempt to divert heat away from Pasha. 'See, it's all Rudy this mess, nothing at all to do with me...' We'll see, I guess.

Yeah, this was one of my takeaways from recent matches, especially last night. Games are won/lost in midfield and we can't rely on players ilke Cantwell and Baradji to be that type of player in the middle of the pitch. Tronstad as the deep/holding player works well, but we need at least one Travis-style player in there - high energy, box-to-box.

Woeful and we are going down. Swansea were a poor side, we were a few levels below them. De Neve, Ohashi and TGH in particular were so bad today, we could have played U18 players and they'd have done a better job. We either accept relegation is inevitable, or we sack the manager. Tonight.

Absolutely dreadful. Ohashi might as well not be playing, he's just making zero positive contribution. And you cannot tell me that we don't have a better right wing back than TGH in the Academy; he is diabolically poor.

So much for the 'we are contractually obliged to play Cashin, even if he's crap' thing, I guess. Right decision to drop him after Saturday. The lineup screams of desperation, feel like VI might be coming to the end of his tenure (one way or another).

Dreadful. Avoidable goals, poor in possession and organisationally sloppy. Toth was a rare positive today, with the new ST also looking ok at points. The rest were just very, very poor. I'm a fan of Cantwell, but he was really poor today. Sloppy with his passing and too many wasteful incidents. I don't think Ipswich were particularly good, we just rolled over today.

I've been called a lot of things in my life (mostly valid), but never a 'lefty'. Didn't even know that place existed. And in about 5 seconds, I will forget that they do again.

He's seemingly also banned from saying 'think' or 'thought' (fink & fought, managing to sound like a toddler in the process). Anyway, hopeful we do make The Moose a permanent signing this window. Whilst he's still clearly not fully up to speed, he's shown why we were keen to take him even pre-operation. Bags of potential in that one, I fink.
