Ivan Katalinic's 'tache

Welcome Cyle. If you’ve seen any of the comments online, clearly the fans have low expectations of you (not helped by clueless recruitment “strategies” in past windows). However, if you can demonstrate commitment and show real effort, then that will be a vast improvement on almost all of the dross SR have brought in up front so far. And if you can muster up a few goals too then I’m sure that’s all we can ask.

Arma has passed his medical at Wolves, according to SSN, so it looks like he’ll definitely be off

Archer back on and the Canadian Ronaldo still joins us?

Yes.

Wrexham then?

He is currently injured, though, which is another quality we look for in a striker.

Talk about kicking a team when they’re down

A formation which suited the players picked today coupled with decent performances all round. Lovely! A goalie who can make saves helps too. Leo didn’t look at his best but isn’t it nice that he didn’t need to be?

🐐

Unfinished business…

We’d only loan them to Goztepe if we did.

Middlesbrough have sold one of their wide forwards, Burgzorg, to Bristol City. Clearing space for Arma?

I think that was meant to be Downs but boy did we get that one wrong. The fella at Bodo-Glimt would be interesting but I also thought that way when we bought Moi after he’d scored against City in Europe too and look how that went…

Rasmus, is that you?

Anyone know St George’s number? Got a Dragan to be chased out of town…

I've been going for nearly 50 years now and I can't be arsed to go any more. It's just not enjoyable any more. If I do go to any future games, it'll be to have a day out with my son and it's what he wants to do, not because I've got any great desire to throw money at this bunch of idiots.

So are we thinking Will Still is the “ginger Juric”?

So random Twitter bloke either did know his stuff or he got lucky with his posts, I guess.

He could be at the training ground clearing out his stuff before making the move? I guess we’ll find out soon enough. My bet is he doesn’t play for the Baggies this weekend…

Bored of Azaz now. Where’s Fellows? Or Jander? (Welcome Finn!)

New bid expected for Finn Azaz? https://footballleagueworld.co.uk/southampton-fresh-transfer-bid-middlesbrough-finn-azaz/

If the plan is to sign George Long as a cheap 3rd choice in the hope we never need to use him and so more funds can be kept to strengthen the first XI, that’s ok. If this is part of the long term planning, is not a positive look…

So we’ve bid enough, he’s happy to join us but Krasnodar are still not selling. I guess they’re hoping for a last minute panic offer?

I may be riding a wave of new found optimism after 3 games unbeaten under the ginger genius but I have a funny feeling Spertyman (or whatever he’s called) will sign for us. It’s based on nothing in particular and I’m sure such positivity will be soon ruined by our usual crap result at home to Stoke.
