    Precisely as described. And the second half was the same. But with goals conceded. It was surprising it wasn't more. Thoroughly depressing.

    I'm sorry you told me that, Foxy. In my blissful ignorance I had convinced myself that we had been much improved and desperately unlucky to lose. Now I'm depressed too.:emoticon-0101-sadsm

    Sorry Bucks. I admire your optimism that it was a possibility.

    Probably best to avoid reading on Saturday too <wah>

    We are down to about 7 and a half players vs Forest's 26. Sounds fair.

    .... particularly those caused by fannying about trying to be too clever while playing out from the back. More movement further up the pitch might help.

    Abysmal. We're in serious trouble.

    Next fixtures:
    Brighton
    Villa
    Spurs
    Man U
    Arsenal

    Absolutely no chance of points from any of those.

    What do Iversen, Soyuncu, Vestergaard, Mendy and Iheanacho have to do to get a start?

    I can see us signing no one this transfer window. Bournemouth have jumped in for one of our targets, and the other two in Italy aren’t available now. It’s getting very concerning, I know in the past we used to reveal signings out of nowhere, but after the summer window I’m fearing the worse.
    Hopefully I’m just seeing the glass half empty, but we need a lift, quickly.

    Can't disagree. If we were restricted in the summer due to FFP, our wage bill being at maximum. If we aren't doing any out deals, how can we bring anyone in?
    Obviously, we lost Forfana late in the summer window but Faes used up some of the allowance.
    I had hoped, given our predicament, we'd go early on a couple of signings.

    How are Chelsea not breaking FFP rules? It’s like they’ve still got Abramovic’s credit card and are going on a trolley dash. Surely we could have stumped up for Lookman in the summer, he was only £14m.

    So it looks like we may have some transfers incoming, awesome. But need some wisdom. As I understand it we have a full squad of 25 players named as our Prem squad. If we do buy, and no one goes out do we resubmit for the second half of the season and existing squad like Vesterguaard or Cags dont get named and cant play?

    Pretty much. We can remove Justin as he's out for the remainder of the season. We've got a few youngsters named, maybe a couple of those get removed if we sign senior players. Alves could be removed as he's out long term too.
    So we've 2 places free already.

    Soon as the new lad is available, I'd be tempted to play a back 4 of Castagne, Ndidi, Faes and Kristiansen and bring Papy into the holding mid role ...

    He won't do it because he is too ****ing stubborn... but I'd love to see Brenda give Iversen a chance ... the new lad is also Danish so perhaps that will convince him too if not today ...

    I’ve seen plenty of Walsall fans recently and they’re pretty confident they’ll run us close on Saturday, if not better. It’s a sell out, so there will be a good atmosphere. They play good, fluid football and are on a good run of form at the moment so Rodgers needs to get his selection right. I’m guessing he’ll go as strong as possible to try and get some momentum for a winning run, Villa next week and all their fans have started crowing too, saying they’re going to get Rodgers sacked.

    The Walsall manager was in charge of Newport, when they knocked us out. I can see why they're confident.

    I wonder if Kolo Toure wants his old job back? Seven league games in charge is hardly giving him a chance.
