Agree. It feels like Juric all over again. I guess Still will argue we haven't bought the players he needs to make his system work. He did say something along those lines after Ipswich. If that remains the case when the window closes I don't see him lasting the season.

AA has zero confidence, needs shifting on. He never recovered from handing that shirt to the woman who bet against us. BBD just awful. Stewart - maybe but probably not. Archer - who cares. Downs too early to say but this is not a squad that is going to fire us to promotion. SR better get their cheque book out quick. Otherwise they need to step aside and let a genuine investor take us forward. Yes, be careful what you wish for etc but I just don't see a genuine plan to show they are truly invested in this club or have any sense of direction.

Stop trying to back track, just admit you misinterpreted his post for fucks sake.

Don't care what Reading like - what have Everton got.

The only time I don't check if we signed anyone we fucking sign someone. Looks decent. More please.

Not the point. I distinctly remember him missing at least 20 open goals from crosses that were 4' 6'' off the ground. Any other striker gets us 44 and automatic promotion. He's a liability.

Ali Dia looked good on a fax machine.

Thought it was interesting Still said recently that we need to bring in a few and shift out a few, then said "but I've been saying that for a few weeks now" - could be just a simple statement of fact but he sounded a little frustrated, so maybe not happy with the way those responsible are handling the transfer window? I really hope they are not going to fail to address the obvious weaknesses in the squad. I like Still, he come across well but he needs backing.

Take that all day thanks. Three unbeaten given we are still in flux is better than I expected and plenty of commitment from the players. Desperately need some new, hopefully quality faces in before the window close. If we do that, could be an exciting season.

Pretty sure people are referring to the journey needed to get there and back in midweek, rather than the standard of opposition. Maybe more winnable of course, although PL teams often put out their weaker teams.

Er, you have a weird idea of what constitutes hate.

So. We can't defend set pieces, Sugawara is a truly awful player, ditto BBD. Squad depth is poor, desperately need new signings if we're going to compete across a long hard season. Not sure what Still had planned but hopefully not that rubbish of a performance. Positives - we won. Did I miss anything.

Yes, but it's our side 😄

Mixed feelings. Still buzzing from the result but we still seem to be patched together at the moment so the next two or three games will be a rough ride. RB position looks weak and who's going to replace Charles and Downes if injured? We've got plenty of strikers but is there a 20 goal player there. I guess/hope these type of things will be addressed over the coming weeks. Appreciate AA was a mistake but that aside, plenty to ponder still. That said, they'll be confident going to Ipswich.

Yes, yes and fucking yes!!!!!!!! The title is ours!!!!!!!!!!

They haven't played together under pressure yet though. Let's see how they handle that first.

I think you'll find I'm the only one qualified to judge 😂

Couldn't give a toss what Stephens does off the pitch, just not keen on seeing him on it. Weird decision.

Ah, insult territory. Saints Web must be on the verge of a new season @trousers 😂

It is a tricky position but it is also of their making (I appreciate that's obvious). Appointing Spors was a sensible move but he isn't going to be a miracle worker. We're busy talking players but Still might prove a disappointment. There are so many variables it makes my head spin tbh. Just hoping for a decent performance against Wrexham to indicate some chance of a decent season.

Agree with all that but there has to be some concern over the mental fragility of players who were so terrible last season, constantly losing games, often heavily. I hope we get off to a good start, but a couple of early defeats it could go horribly wrong. It's why for me, we need fresh faces who arrive without the, dare I say it, scare tissue.

The earning bit usually comes to the fore because the agent/family agent see their commission coming in to view.

Kind of proving they don't learn from past mistakes.

I thought Bednarek was out of contract this summer. How long has he got left? Feels like an eternity.

Mind you @trousers I'm waiting patiently for evidence of anything happening 😅
