Would also quite like to remind people that quite a lot of our players already have a relegation on their CV's, whether with us or elsewhere.

There is probably some merit to this and I'm open to the idea that Charles has improved this year, which was always likely to happen but I do think people are forgetting that the jump is quite big and Charles and Aribo were in the same team last season and one did a lot better than the other (albeit in different roles). Performances for Sheffield Wednesday don't just translate into performances for us in the PL in a struggling team.

That extra point, man it must have been good.

I’m not sure he’s a great example based on his team whoring himself to loads of clubs including us since last January but sure, point taken. Maybe the perfect striker is out there waiting to be chucked a few quid and I’ll be reminding myself of that as we continue to lump balls up to Onuachu from February to no success.

I’m understanding that you’re not going to turn up anymore if performances don’t improve and I’m suggesting that one way to improve it might be buying some new players rather than relying on ones who have yet to do so.

Right but that’s not quite the way it works though is it. Not only does only winning one game have consequences this season like potentially having to replace another manager but also imagine calling up said striker and saying ‘hey, yeah I know we were really shit last year and Leicester put up a fight of sorts and seem more appealing but we went through all that so we could chuck some more cash your way’ it isn’t quite the pull you think it is.

Which would be bad business, as would sacking a 2nd manager like the last time we were here.

To do this they will have to put in some performances for us which is a step up from the players that have been here two years now and are barely doing so.

I’m not even talking about survival I’m talking about watching someone that might hopefully be better than the current shite we’ve got.

I’m not even denying that 😂 I’m just pointing out that you’ve presumably got to go out of your house and go to St Mary’s quite a few more times this season before any fruitful future seasons arrive and endure the same shit every week, why wouldn’t you want to watch someone else have a crack ffs? Even if it’s just the hope that it might be different and it turns out it’s not. But nah, fuck it, let’s all watch us lump the ball up to Onuachu some more.

I think you’ve mis understood mate and not only that but I think that’s been explained to you before.

Okay well you enjoy watching the same attackers continue to struggle in this league then and don’t you dare at any stage wish for someone better over the next 18 games.

Improving the side is good business. I can’t actually believe people are encouraging the club not to invest but also presumably blaming the same people for our decline 😂

I was just laughing at the fact somebody is diagnosing THB as unfit with a bad attitude to fitness despite presumably never having met him or worked with him on any details of his actual fitness. Not every post needs to turn into a tirade about the club, but you do you I suppose

I’d be 100% spending money now if I found someone available to improve our side. If it was my company I’d see every defeat currently increasing the anger within the fan base right now and probably would want to minimise that. We’re here in the PL now, so the idea of building a side to get here again is all rather lovely but if you want to see us being competitive in some PL games then it seems to me the 18 PL games we have left now are a better chance to do that than some fantasy season in a year and a half. All well and good having a ‘build for next season’ mantra but that means fuck all next week when Onuachu is missing sitters, Bednarek is giving the ball away and people in the crowd are getting more and more annoyed by it all. If we can improve the side now with loan players then we should, not least because me and presumably you have to sit through it.

What’s that got to do with that post? 😂

When you think this place couldn’t get anymore incredible someone pipes up judging someone’s fitness and application based purely on looks.

We’ve got 18 games left of this season mate. How about a loan signing to help with some of those?

No, you seem to have mistaken me for a recruitment department. And nobody said a striker who is going to keep us up, but just losing however many games without even trying to change it isn’t going to be fun for anyone. Who told you that unequivocally? 😂 I know this place seems unable to grasp the concept that we can’t focus on next season now because there’s still half a season to go but sadly it’s true. The idea that the manager, players and fans will all just sit on our hands for the next few months taking defeats all under the guise of ‘wait for next season’ was utterly absurd when people were talking about who we should get as a manager, is utterly absurd now when talking about the transfer window and will continue to be utterly absurd every time we get beat from now on.

I’m pretty sure Juric explained it’s because he wanted time to work with the players first in one of the press conferences and it’s been glossed over. Bearing in mind we’ll be low down the pecking order for players anyway I doubt decisions being made now will have that much affect on when we’re signing players.

Not trying to would guarantee that we don’t though. Hope you don’t moan at any of the bad results from here on in then pal, seeing as it would not very sensible to try and improve them.

So, do we just not then?

The alternative is to sign someone better in this transfer window.

I'm not talking about the final minutes of Saturday, I'm talking about the season and the idea that Derbys 11 points should be the motivation now. It's bollocks and arbitrary. Or sarcastic.

This is horseshit as well by the way. Professional pride is what should and will motivate players not some target everyone has in their heads will be the ultimate judgement of us. Who gives a fuck what anyone else thinks. The idea the players need motivating or aren't working hard is toss. They are physically and mentally out of their depth being mopped up in a ridiculously ruthless league.
