    Think we lose again. We just look a bit shot. And ****. We have the feel of a club that doesn’t really know where it wants to go and is too reliant on memories. The truly elite players will - like Isak - start to get a bit fed up and given how hard we’re being carried by the likes of Tonali, it’s an uncertain season ahead.

    Victims of a fairly shambolic recruitment strategy overseen by a manager trying to do too much.

    Mitchell is going to end up being proven right in the end I think.

    What, right to refuse Isak an improved contract and make him go on strike to force a move away?

    He’d have always gone mate. Qualifying for the CL and adding Ramsdale, Elanga and Ramsey to your squad? The players can see it even if some of this board can’t.

    We don't even know that it's speculation. I'm still convinced he's right about recruitment regardless though.

    Tbf I've always said this I'm not winding... Look at Brighton Palace and Bournemouths.. It's better

    Bournemouth lost 4 of their back 5 and replaced them with ease. Palace look like they know exactly what they’re doing. We look amateurish. You can’t run an elite club with the head coach calling all the shots, an absent CEO and so on.

    We just don’t excite in any way. We’re so vanilla. The PL want us to stay there and so do the media. So, seemingly, do many fans.

    We don’t have an absent ceo. we have a new one. The absent sporting director was sacked and new one is imminent (Forest).

    You lot did this **** last year with Howe calling for his head. You were told wait for Brentford in cup and see what happens and it turned around perfectly.

    Playing 4-3–3 without a recognised striker or left winger kind of ****s things up a bit, and when he changes it up you moan like **** about being vanilla and boring.

    grow a ****ing set of balls and a spine and dig in or **** off and tune into watch QPR every Saturday.
