Will be interesting to see how we spend the money we've got now as clubs will know we have the cash. Slightly odd that the two players linked as closest to joining are loans (Downes and Holgate). Could be a busy two weeks...

The CBs are just shocking. Fortunately we’ve just made Jack S captain so no chance he’s going anywhere..fucking hell.

He’d have been sent off…

More suicide defending. 3-4. Going to be a seriously long season at this rate. Good god.

Offside but Bazunu again…(!)

Interesting to see a keeper save a shot destined for the corner 😉

Hasn’t done anything wrong? Pretty low bar if that’s your view. You may think he had no chance, I disagree. Point is every time the ball goes into the box he’s rooted to the line. Hardly helps…

Stats this season will hardly have improved. 100% record so far…

Surprising how many on here are happy with a keeper who concedes every shot that hits the target.

This is the point for me. He’s shown absolutely nothing other than being pretty useless. Compare with, for example, Joe Hart when he came through. Made some errors but you could see he was going to be good. With Baz he doesn’t look like making a save at all and still makes all the junior errors. Hard to see why we are persevering other than we massively overpaid for him.

In the corner but was in the air for an age and he was still absolute nowhere.

It was basically from the edge of the box and he was nowhere near it. Doesn’t even look like he’s going to save anything unless it it’s hit straight at him.

Point is he lacks presence, he puts us under so much pressure. Cowers on his line and his hesitation causes absolute chaos.

I’m sorry but this Baz apologising needs to stop. The guy is useless and it impacts the whole defence.

Bazunu is nowhere near good enough. Pants pulled down.

Another free header. This is becoming a bit of a joke. Obviously Bazunu nowhere near it.

This defending is absolutely suicidal. Bloody hell.

Could not have done much with number 2 today but he hardly inspires confidence does he? Every time the ball goes into the box he seems to shrink…

We look so open at the back. Got to change this.

Have we conceded from every ball into the box so far this season? Feels like it.

If you are right Martin will be sacked. No question of it.

Don't think anyone is shocked, I would say the overwhelming emotion is concern. Some of that concern is driven by the timing. Selling our captain and best player one day after the total ineptitude of some of the squad players was brutally exposed is almost bound to trigger a more extreme reaction than it would have done had we sold him 2 weeks ago and already sorted a replacement. His performance on Friday, in contrast to the performances last night, shows how important he could have been to us. He's gone now and we need to move on but the fee seems poor, relative to his value to us this season and we are now back in the hands of the recruitment team with pressure to get it right and quickly.

Is that legit? Haven't seen anything about that...

Will be an interesting atmosphere on Saturday. Getting dumped out of the cup by a League 2 side and showing the squad players and back ups as nowhere near good enough followed by selling captain and best player the morning after isn't going to do much for optimism....need to start well on Saturday.

Blimey the good news just keeps coming doesn't it?
