    Yep.

    Buy cheap, buy twice. Or in our games 3 or 4 times and still end up playing without anyone of them, scoring zero goals in a year. Literally.

    Absolutely done in off this weekend, massive January needed, agree on Rusyn think he will come good but the lad needs to be on the pitch first

    Plus it’s a hard come down from the Leeds game. I was over the moon after that.

    The issue with this type of recruitment is you never see the benefit until a few yrs down the line. Its promising but frustrating as well, i'd much prefer going this route than what we did before

    We need to play the players we signed to see what we truly have

    Agree about a CDM

    Hope we sign more strikers in January, then maybe we could have a full bench of strikers?

    I wasnt expecting us finishing in the playoffs, maybe a top half finish. Our league position and results are not particularly bothering me. However, from not being able to play a striker because we didnt have any for such a long period, to having 4 of the ****ers but still not having one on the pitch. The latter is so much more frustrating than the former. Major **** up, which in any other business, would result in the culprit facing the sack

    Who gets the sack though? The person who demands we sign these type of players from unknown leagues with minimal experience, to then sell as an upside or the coach who knows they are no where near ready and therefore doesn't play them?

    Why do you think Neil and Mowbray argued and ultimately left their position............

    Need a new manager to freshen things up give a bit of urgency. Same old problem lots of possession and good passing play but absolutely no intent to score Will it be Beale ?

    Christ it's the same on here after every defeat! Were people moaning about no strikers, signing no-bodies from foreign leagues and demanding sackings when we beat WBA and Leeds?

    Some real cry babies in our fanbase. Had to deactivate twitter account after the Beale rumour and the cup ticket news came out yesterday. It's embarrassing. Teams lose games, teams win games. Why does every defeat need to be dissected and analysed under a microscope to find someone to blame?

    I dont think promotion is our short term aim is it? Like a shock promotion would be a hindrance for those in charge.
