Anyone who puffs their chest about Martin continuously getting pelters on here needs to remember he was responsible for 3 of these, 2 of which that will take years to shift

Striker is such an important position and carries a premium accordingly. SR have shown they are willing to shell out for players like Spertsyan as well as Charles in the last Championship season so why did they shop in Poundland for Downs? Look at Birmingham, they picked up Stansfield for £15 million who was able to give them a decent outlay of 12 in 43 at 20 years of age, and already has 2 in 2 this year. Just spend the money FFS?

20th (25pts) -> 4th -> 20th (12pts) -> ??? What next? 6th? 9th? Or nowhere near the playoff positions entirely? Still a lot of time, but it's hard to look past the trends.

He has signed nobody who looks like they will improve our squad so far. There remains an incredibly blunt attack. Sort it out, or we will be nowhere near the automatic spots this season.

We’ve ended up worse than that… we’ve ended up like Southampton

Is Downs’s mind preoccupied? He is just totally absent. All ok at home?

Tessem and Blackmore saying “game on” what a load of pony. It’s something you say after nicking a goal at Anfield not after pulling one back against a 10-man Stoke at home FFS

Is it better to be brave or interesting?

Who needs strikers anyway?

Months and month to prepare and this is what we get. Absolutely pathetic.

If we do not drop the 5 at the back and bring in a competent front line we will be in for a very long season.

These strikers need to be put on gardening leave

Awful from Downes

Shit. This game just got a hell of a lot harder now they’re on 10 men. I wish we got a red instead!

I wish we were Stoke.

There it is.

Tricky keeper. Still wish we picked him up

cov 6 up. We want 9!

please for the love of God Still give up the 5atb and central Armstrong for the next match, if not this half

We haven’t covered ourselves in glory but this ref and Stoke’s players are making the Italian mafia look like Care Bears.

Robinson is a joy

Cov dismantling QPR, 4-0 now.

Need midfield players in now!

It’s like the EFL have collectively decided they don’t want us to go up this year. In all three games so far the refereeing has been diabolical.
