Seems to be a few people saying that but he didnt look injured, just knackered. I dont think he went down the tunnel for treatment either but may be wrong and not seen anything post match. He is very limited in his all round game, but he does have a natural instinct for being in the right place at the right time and can finish which justifies his place in the team as its the most important part of being a striker.

Which costs money that isnt forthcoming.

What attributes does he have? Hes tall, not seeing much else.

Money.

He hasnt been mismanaged. Hes just really bad.

With what?

The owners should know but havent bothered coming over in a decade. They clearly dont care about the state of the facilities hence their denial of a full pitch revamp a couple of years ago.

We did well today. I read earlier in the week that Millwall have looked tired lately and have had issues with central midfielders in particular. Neil wasnt happy with their application today based on his post match interview. But we still took advantage and won comfortably. But the squad is still a state overall. Henriksson didnt do anything when he came on really. He isnt up to standard. We need 2 more strikers because Ohashi and Gudjohnsen are being run into the ground.

So if we signed 2 players from random foreign leagues on cheap fees and wages permanently and a loan, youd consider that as being backed? Either option would give a high probability of relegation.

Today we did well to get the result. Was a poor quality game but a comfortable win. But in general, yes. We are still near the bottom of the table. The squad is so stretched with very little quality.

How am I underestimating anyone? Merely saying that the academy graduates have adapted to the step up far better than some of the signings made from weaker leagues.

I think it says a lot about the standard of the leagues we sign players from that academy lads who have only played youth football seem to have less of an adaptation to the standard.

Very important and deserved result in a comfortable and poor quality game against a goalkeeper who seemed keen to help us out. Thought the senior players were key today. Tronstad is so important, Cantwell too, and although I have been critical of him and dont rate him too highly, I thought that Miller had his best game for us. Pickering also was decent coming back. Out of the academy lads, I may be in a minority but I though that Pratt was the stand out, dealt with everything comfortably and is built to be a defender. Litherland can be proud of himself although I think after an eye catching 10-15 minutes, you could tell at times that he wasnt playing in his natural position.

That team and squad is frightening.

I suppose there is ambiguity in terms of what counts as being backed. If he thinks a couple of loans and another cheapo from abroad for a small fee and tiny wages is being backed, at any point in January, then he may well be "backed."

Based on the last 15 years, its crazy to even believe that and anticipate that. And that wouldnt be disproven even if he was.

He can say what he wants. He said in the summer he wanted 90% by pre season starting. He isnt the reason any sane person would not anticipate a successful transfer window.

Its happened time and time again. Enough to not give them the benefit of the doubt. I cant fathom you "reckoning" that they are gonna back Ismael, go early in the window and improve the team. You are being overly optimistic. We have heard it all before.

So do I. But they wont. Ismael is a crap manager but its not him I was referencing.

He still thinks we are a normal club. Expecting backing and proactivity.

You are still speaking consistently as if we are operating as a normal, functioning club.

You can come up with hypothetical examples of players we might be able to borrow from Wrexham, but the people who sadly are employed by our club make things up as they go along.

Heard it all before. 90% before pre season? Dont believe a word of it. Loans? Maybe we will go from not wanting any to having our full 5 quota. All part of the "project."

Reports doing a lot of heavy lifting there. Pretty safe to assume that those 4 didnt all sit round a table and agree equally.

A catalog of quite frankly ludicrous posts. But not sure you'll find any worse than those.
