    Exactly. For people to come up with expectations now is rather jumping the gun

    With the Soton result it is also hard to judge. It was better than expected.
    Was predicting 3-1, it was 2-1 with us down to 10 men.
    It's an improvement on last time there, 4-0 during our promotion season.

    Just need three quality additions to the squad.

    Where is the tipping point when Pappa Allam says "I said I would provide funds in January IF we are in the promotion hunt.................and we're not!"

    He announced Nick would have millions to spend, so he's rather lumbered himself now.

    I heard/watched that interview and I thought he said "Million" singular.

    The Beeb reported the same:

    The Beeb did report £1m, but in that interview he definitely said millions.

    indeed, but Papa Allam has said that NB has millions to spend. We may get a part of that for Jay Simpson in Jan.

    He has been scouted by a few PL teams and when we were @ Barnsley there were PL managers in the stand. Moyes - Pullis - McCarthy - Coyle. Talking to some Barnsley fans they dont think he is good enough yet for the PL. On the night he was only ok. But does bag a few goals.

    Nick Barmby knows Billy Sharp very well and a deal has been agreed is the rumour doing certain rounds. At least moving to Hull would not mean he has to uproot his family. You can forget Ipswich now. Ipswich look to have gone on strike and Bullard is back to his ways. Has not taken long for there fans to turn on Bullard either. But they were warned.
