If we are really baulking at paying £15m for a good young player to replace one we might get £45m for then we can't really complain if we fall short of promotion next season. Seems quite Saintsy though

Disturbing lack of business. Will add fuel to fire when the media luvvies go into a lather about Wrexham beating us on the opening day...

Stephens played an absolutely ridiculously risky short pass in his own box in the second hand which would have been punished with better finishing. He does at least one of these brain farts every game. Which is why he will never be much cop. Edwards looked like a Rolls Royce to his Lada.

Totally agree with this. Edwards was so good. Should be playing in place of Jack - mystifying how we have made him captain and given him such a long contract. Baz was actually ok but we still need a keeper to keep McCarthy at bay. Sesay excellent. Robinson offered us the directness we needed, and we laughed as Still put Fraser into midfield but it worked. Very disappointed with Charles in the first half - was a passenger and offered nothing. Archer had moments of okayness and physicality. Thought Downs up front was a bit meh but will score lots of headers. Overall, at 2-0 down I was pretty depressed about how we were chasing shadows and the gulf looked huge. We should have had a free kick before their second and the way we fought back gave me a little bit of optimism for the season ahead once we can get a bit of stability via selling the obvious - Dibling and Fernandes - and hopefully getting someone in to get the goals or be a midfield enforcer.

So Fernandes is off then...

Quite. Completely blind to keepers for decades. Such an important position and we cannot really be thinking Baz is good enough can we? Beggars belief

If we have to play McCarthy at all we are fucked. Even more fucked than deciding to give Jack Stephens a new contract. I don’t think Still will stick around at this rate (and might be pushed). Still, we will have very fine catering or something. We should definitely look to sell Ramsdale, not loan. And do it quickly so we have cash to buy a keeper who is not shit

Are we going to buy any good players and get rid of our crap ones? Asking for the entire fanbase.

We are still playing McCarthy. Hilariously shit. Club has absolutely no clue.

Not sure we would ever be 1-0 down if Sean Dyche was our manager… (lights fuse, takes cover)

Still OUT! 😉

Great theme tune though

Mystifying. Sub-standard player, bad role model, and now captain. WTF? Had my worries when I saw him in the kit leaks. If this is Still's decision it's the first bad one (of a few to come, I reckon)

I remember him from when he played for Everton and was one of the worst players I have seen in the Prem. Was better in the Champ and could probably do a job for us, but I suspect he'll show that Prem form again if he joins Leeds. If they're counting on him they could be in for a long season.

Will be amazed if he is here at the start of the season. Bournemouth? Hope we have our sights on a few to replace him late in the window (probably, knowing us)

Are we looking at goalkeepers? Feel this is a very key area, not least because Lumley has gone, Ramsdale will be off obviously and Bazunu and McCarthy are both shit. Or will our blindspot continue?

Shocked to say I quite like it. Will look bad on fat fans though, surely?

Very tricky opener. The world will be wanting to wank off to the Wrexham story. Yeeuch. Will be lucky to win this I think unless we actually start recruiting some decent players and offloading some tripe. (Still not convinced the manager is the right choice, just so you know - just a hunch about experience, lack of)

Probably because he didn't ruin Brentford but got lucky with his recruitment of Thomas Frank and then lived off that with us across a series of 'clever-clever 'I'm so ace I am rewiring football' appointments that made us a complete laughing stock and which will take years to unravel. Can't quite believe he's still with us.

Cracking transfer window that. We are going to smash the league.

Quite a sensible insurance policy if you ask me. As it may turn out.

Oh dear. Not that again. Can we do some shots and goals next season? Bit bored of the endless passing

Good luck Russ. Great job with major upsides. Please sign McCarthy.

Set to be appointed at Rangers, says Talksport. Will do well there. Big job for him. Which way now for Leicester?

Because they will pretend they unearthed him, as they did Gareth Bale
