@roverandout is rumoured to be a big fan...

Replace our main goal threat with a winger with 3 goals in 70 games?

Unsure what to make of Thomas, decent player on his day but has failed to replicate his form this season. Much more underwhelming as a loan without an option. One thing he would give us is a set piece threat, the likes of Hedges and Morton are usually appalling from set pieces. Pushes Markanday further away, maybe he will be loaned out?

More boring that Tomasson's football?

Yep, it is a mess. But purely in terms of the manager, Lampard has earnt less than a point a game over a seasons worth of games, so it is clearly a sensible option to get rid. They need to stay in the Prem ahead of their stadium move.

We almost certainly will, we are right at the end of the window. You said the 3 were done last week, I dont think they were to the point of merely confirming.

Im not having that we have a few deals ready to go at this moment.

Who would have a better chance of survival, Lampard or Allardyce? They should have sold Gordon in the summer, hes crap.

And his inability to ever get into another goalscoring position isn't a good thing.

Yeah, both played in the third round.

That stuff about us "interviewing" 3 foreign players at the start of the window seemingly was a load of rubbish anyway.

Very cryptic as ever, every transfer will reach a head this week as the window is about to close! No names or whether they are actually going to sign or not, yet I bet it was followed with a swarm of tweets asking him questions like he is sat on a treasure chest of untold transfers. Interesting change of the goal posts.

I would love us to put out a strong side with a real intention to go far. Not a heavily changed side. Something like: (pending new signings) Kaminski Carter Phillips Wharton Pickering Morton Travis Markanday Dack Dolan Brereton

So we have missed out now as far as youre concerned?

35 points from 38 games with results getting steadily worse. There is literally no constructive reason to keep Lampard in charge but I wish they would have kept him to take them down. Terrible manager.

I thought you wanted Cantwell?

I certainly havent been bowled over like some regarding Broughton, I judge him on the deals he has got over the line and in the main they are underwhelming. But it is no coincedence that we have constantly had a problem closing deals throughout the tenure of Venkys. Not necessarily but he should be judged on the deals we do get done. If neither of those happen then they become irrelevant, no interest in any hard luck stories.

Change the staff around yet the same issues linger.

How do you feel about the seemingly lack of money from the owners?

Agreed. The main 2 priorities were an out and out striker and an experienced midfielder.

Says who? Who are you to tell people with families to turn down potentially thousands of pounds a week? As I said, there is also the fact that there is probably a better chance of Premier League football at Watford and/or a chance to play in Serie A. The ambition of playing at the highest level rather than going somewhere to try solely to ensure more game time.

Nothing like being an echo for Sky Sports! Great game and it is the best league I would say but the previous 3 televised games this weekend have been terrible.

Porteous like any person will be massively influenced by the financial side and there is also a pathway either to play Premier League football you would imagine sooner at Watford or even Serie A football with Udinese like a few of his compatriots. Where this leaves us I am unsure. An attacker on loan and a sub keeper wouldnt be sufficient, thats for sure.
