Downes is training with the U21s as far as I know, so that's a good start if he's acting the prick.

Larios is the obvious answer. By virtue of playing the least amount of minutes (a couple away at Cardiff in the cup)

I agree, ive always had a feeling hes never wanted to be here. Weren't there rumours that he originally didn't want to join on loan, hence the delay,and he had some serious misgivings ... then he slagged off our fans a few weeks after joining (iirc) cos we drew at home to Rotherham, before the whole irons thing at the promotion party and coming really close to joining Ipswich instead over the summer.

We'll probably sell him in the summer for a nice profit.

Sport Republic doing their best to destroy any pathway for these young players by signing utter dross and cutting wage structures ... Bravo guys.

Well, we can't just get rid of him; no-one is likely to come in for him, and we have a contract to honour.

Not in the clubs eyes, think of all the extra money they can now make from such corporate shite as the "Dell Pub" and the new wine bar, plus the improved hospitality sections known as the "Knightwood Lounge" From a footballing experience side of things, it's been utterly shite. A good atmosphere will come from good football, regardless of the stadium layout, you cannot manufacture a good atmosphere as we keep trying to do.

Bad decision if we didnt, imo.

We'd have been watching VVD long before Wilson was even interviewed I expect, these things don't just happen over a handful of games.

Like choosing whether you want a cactus or a log shoved up your backside, to be honest.

Downes is flavour of the month for criticism ... with Stephens, McCarthy & Smallbone largely absent, the honour has to fall to someone else.

People will judge him on his record here. His record here was mostly shit, so him doing a good job at Forest doesn't suddenly change how his spell here is looked upon.

ABK and Wellington dropped out pre-match to travel up to train with the 1st team

Not just training elsewhere, but very often training on his own ... Another top talent we'll lose no doubt due to piss-poor recruitment

Good riddance. Fair play Dragan for taking control from the clowns hou employed.

But but but, everyone on twitter said that it was just RM being stubborn ... Complete waste of space, this guy. The fact he's had another undeserved chance and still hasn't done enough to get a game of football speaks volumes.

Ballard is cup tied, having played for Blackpool earlier this season. Shame really.

Fuck me, Sulemana is like an itch you just can't rid of. How he keeps getting chances ... As for that lineup, fucking horrendous and wouldn't surprise me if Swansea get the win

If anyone pays £16m for him, their recruitment is as bad as ours 🤣

Desperately want him to succeed here; give him 6 months in the u21s with occasional first team forays and get him in the squad full time next season Sounded like he wasn't utilised to his best at Blackpool under Bruce (shock, I knew that loan would go south once Critchley was out)

Had an automatic 1-year extension activated in the summer following promotion

Losing a top talent there; not a bad keeper either ...

Neither of whom will play any meaningful (if any) part this season

The rumour has it that the scouts are now employed by SR, for the benefit of the SR group, and not specifically Southampton ...

They're having their planning meeting today ... gotta give them a chance to get organised, not like the windows been open for a week or anything 🤣
