Massively over-the-top comment. I’d say only 98 times better.

Sigh, very disappointing but not a surprise I guess. Anyone who thought this wasn’t going to be a horrible slog are getting a nice reality check.

Let’s take the positives so far, not losing and clean sheet.

Eastleigh!

Definitely a good day to make Haaland my fantasy captain and play triple points!

Szmodics scores on his debut!

You mean like gifting goals to the opposition? If so then I agree!

I’m the opposite, I’m hoping for that Aston Villa moment from 2012 today!

I've raised my bemusement before how someone seemingly so average in his sporting career can then end up presenting a completely unrelated prime time show. Made literally no sense and couldn't believe how bad he was the few times I could be bothered to watch.

Nice low carbon footprint for that I bet! Good job we're off-setting it with those carboard straws at McDonalds!

Will Bereton-Diaz be ok to play after the concussion he suffered last weekend?

There's no show without Bijlow. He's clearly the keeper we all wanted, we just didn't know it until about 30 minutes ago.

Just watched the highlights from today… A few poor misses, and that shocking goal, but we really did look quite good really. Onwards and upwards (hopefully)!

Sigh, welcome back disappointing Saturday afternoons…

…apart from the whole gifting the opposition easy goals thing!

That was a fucking terrible goal. Looks like a great chance of getting a positive result has been screwed up.

Haha, standard. Nathan Jones is sat somewhere saying “I told you so”.

Ahh yes that was it. Just after the second 9-0 I believe.

Didn’t they have two sent off a few years back and we still lost?

This! We need to do everything we can to survive in this league. If we’re presented with a chance, we take it.

According to Wikipedia... 'Press reports noted that Aston Villa insisted that the transfer included a buy-back clause.' Maybe not genius by Sheffield United!

Genius by Sheffield United. Imagine if we did that with all the crap we brought two seasons ago!

To be expected I guess, but things will probably come back down to earth if we really struggle (quite likely). Not unreasonable to want to see a prolonged period of sell-outs before committing to costly expansion.

Agreed, was one that took a bit of time to get over the line but felt like a landmark signing when it finally happened. I was in Peppa Pig world when it got announced!

Can you still get a suspension for a friendly red? I seem to recall Tim Flowers once missed a season opener for one?
