We need at least 10 from 15 to keep us in the playoff hunt

Hopefully that's the 5 at the back nonsense condemned to the bin for good now. We've looked so much more organised since we went back to 4. Stephens, Welington, Downes and Azaz were excellent today, but the whole team played well. Now lets get a striker in and push on

We need to be using up our allocated loans. At least if it doesnt work out then we're not stuck with the player on a 4/5 year contract. Would rather that than panic buying another Carrillo or Tall Paul

Whos scoring goals in Bundesliga 2? Thats who we'll probably sign given Spors knows fuck all else

It's also worth adding that the January window is always more difficult. Teams are unwilling to sell mid-season unless they have a good replacement lined up and players are ridiculously overpriced. When was the last time we actually made a decent permanent January signing? Gabbiadini? We've had some decent loans like KWP and Brooks, but plenty of panic buys like Tall Paul, Orsic, Carrillo and Sulemana 💩

Sure SR have pocketed that already

Yeah his subs killed us 👍🏻

At least we didnt lose, but we're going nowhere under Tonda, Spors and SR. They'll probably be patting themselves on the back after that result. We'll be lucky to get top half which is embarrassing given the money we spent in the summer.

Wouldnt expect us to spend given the outlay in the summer - unless we plan to offload Armstrong or THB in the next week. Need to explore the loan market. Striker and CB please

Sorry to break it to you, but Tonda doesnt do classic 4-3-3 formations

Charles, Jander and Downes on the pitch together is not going to work. Much of a muchness there If Charles comes in, it should be for Downes

If all three of them leave it will have been an insane transfer window 😂

Tonight doesnt change the price of fish. TE is not the long term managerial solution

4 4 fucking 2 and hey presto, we look much more solid and organised Its mad that its taken this long and the amount of goals we've conceded for TE to realise that 3 CBs has not been working for us. That being said it would not surprise me if he reverts to that at the weekend 🤯 Seen it mentioned that the CBs looked more comfortable. No wonder when they've played 90% of their careers in a four with full backs who tuck in and offer cover. 3 CBs works for certain teams with certain players, but we dont have those players. Lets get a win on Sunday now 💪🏼

Just seen that Inter have signed another young croatian CB. Might clear the way for this move. Not what we need right now, but at least it would be something

Never wanted to lose a derby game before, but lose this weekend and the subsequent fans anger might force SRs hand. A group of gutless wankers (bar a handful) mixed with an inexperienced manager was never going to work no matter how much we hoped it would

I would only keep Jander, Charles, Bragg, Fellows, Scienza and Robinson Quarshie (due to his potential) and Azaz (due to his record in this league) are both maybes The rest can fucking do one

I havent disputed that. It was a shitshow in the PL, he deserved to get sacked and yes theres some remnants of what he left still dragging us down now. All I argued was putting RM on the same level as TE was laughable. Give the guy some credit fs

The only people crying will be gimps like you when we're in League 1 next season - probably still blaming RM

Trying to put RM in the same category as Tonda is embarrassing. People may not have liked him, called him legohead, claimed we should have won the league under him (even tho Marseca and Leicester were far superior), claimed that most of the problems we have now are his fault 😂. End of the day he got us promoted and gave us a great day at Wembley, which still annoys some of our fans bizarrely. In comparison Tonda has us sitting 16th (for now) and heading for a hiding against the skates next week

RM is a managerial genius compared to this gimp

Its already untenable

https://gianlucadimarzio.com/inter-mlacic-16-gennaio-2026/ If we did somehow pull this off and he chose us over Inter, an 18 year CB is hardly what we need right now. But theres a few million for SR to make when we sell him on in 2/3 years

I suspect you mean Downes. The yank hasnt been here long enough to be a bad egg, and hes just shit which is more of an issue

I think we can stop looking up the table. Only 9 points above the relegation zone which will no doubt be less by the time we lose at Fratton (guaranteed with our mentally weak team). Its pretty dire right now. Do I think somebody else could take the job and get us playing better and win more games than TE? Yes, but then the worry is we have another short term fix situation (like we did with Mark Hughes) and we'll be looking for their replacement this time next season at best. Unless we can appoint a manager who has the credentials to get us promoted next season (and I dont trust SR to get it right), we're likely stuck with TE for the season. Need to just hope he can get enough results for us to stay in the league. Embarrassing that it has come to this.
