Come on be real, even if Stewart and Simms had been fit all season we still wouldn’t be near them two at the top
Agreed, we are a newly promoted side and the recruitment in the summer was unreal. We planned on having 2 players for every position and that's what we had. We were just unfortunate that both our strikers got injured. Hopefully we still get Simms in but the progress we are making is unreal, no panic buying and paying over the odds for crap players
 
2 windows in a row. Looking like the same outcome. The reason we aren’t pushing top 2 is because we had no strikers. Looks to be the same thing in the second half of the season. I love the model and our progress but I can’t help but feel pissed off it’s the same issue as the last window and 0 lessons have been learned.
I have a different perspective. 3 windows ago we did the Defoe deal. They allowed all reason to go out the window and it was a rubbish decision. We honestly would have beem better nit having signed him. Same might be true now in that rather panic we just sit tight and rely on good caoching and show a bit of faith in u23s.
 
Literally nothing happening, but also no-one reporting that nothing is happening. It's the weirdest Deadline Day ever

it’s like the world of journalism has forgotten we exist. Like an alternative universe. Nothing is happening but nobody is commenting on that.

Even the local journalists are talking like fans rather than journalists

In previous windows you’ve usually had local journos saying ‘we’re done’ or some such. Absolute shambles if we’re still relying on Simms.
 
What time was it last year when we actually knew Defoe was at the academy? Like what time was Wee Phillie knocking on his window?
 
I think the club are going to roll out at least one last minute signing. Probably already done.
 
basically they had a code. If Lee Johnson tugs on his left earlobe 3 times, Nisbet had to go down holding his hamstring.

Meanwhile a chopper was scrambled from a nearby RAF base to come and pick him up and bring him directly to the AOL.

anybody in the area keep an eye out in the sky.

The club is being ran the best it's been for the past decade.
We've had a horrendous injury list this season and imo we're punching above our weight and yet there are some fans we seem hell bent on exaggerating the negatives when in all honesty there's very few negatives around.
If all clubs management could run their business with the blessing of hindsight that some fans have then they'd all be in with a shout of winning their respective leagues.
KTF and stay calm it's the only way to stay sane.
