Doc as well, haven't seen Slater touch the ball once.

Yeah, and it was a similar angle too if I remember correctly. Maybe lack of confidence? Either way, you are a professional ball player ffs, can't be missing such easy goals.

I disagree. Since taking up a more defensive role, he added some much needed physicality to midfield in my opinion. He doesn't challenge headers for some reason, but his tackling has been better and he's good at roughing up opponents without getting booked.

With the incoming players, I'm not even sure if he would be our first choice anymore. He played well at wing back, but then his last 2 games were (surprisingly) pretty average. Depending on the formation, SA could use Pelkas out wide and play Tufan or one of the new guys at 10.

Anybody know the inner workings of these last minute transfers? Like, how do you register players? Do you just have a bunch of guys making calls frantically, or is there an online system or something?

Tufan with a screamer, Oscar gets two with his ass and knee; who is scoring the remaining three?

I think there's a mental side to it though. They are having to get more involved with the ball, which is surely adding more pressure on them (especially Figs from the looks of it).

I don't understand why we are still arguing over the number of midfielders and wingers. Doesn't matter who we'll have available in 2-3 months, we need players who can play TODAY.

Might see one or two more come in last minute, but I think they would just be squad players at this point. Would've loved to see another quality defender for starting 11. Oh well, I can't complain. Great transfer window all things considered, and I'm sure it was a learning experience for Acun...

People here assume the players in question are all fighting for the 3 midfield spots, but I suspect Pelkas and Salah are covering for wings as well. Like, outside of Sinik and Ally (both injured) who do we have?

We got like 20 injured players doing **** all. Get them knitting.

You gotta think of the brand value as well. Gate revenue may not have increased all that much, but fill the stadium and create hype around the club, and that'll surely affect other revenue streams like merch sales, sponsorship deals, tv revenue, higher caliber players wanting to come play for...

The amount of entitlement coming from some of you lot is quite amusing to be honest... I suggest you back couple hundred pages and see where we stood at the start of the transfer window.

Unreal. I've been watching football for a long time, and I can't think of a team have a worse start to a season in terms of injuries. Seri / Tufan, two best players in the team, are out for weeks. Right winger out for months after a couple games. Left winger never even played a game. No...
