Irrespective of our league next season, I fear Ramsdale goes and Bazunu extends

Masterclass from Spors. As a Norwich player, Long will be able to tell us exactly how they will set up tomorrow, allowing us to breeze through to the prestigious third round of the EFL Cup. Up the fucking Saints!

The circumstances are different. Lambert was symbolic of a club beaten down by financial problems getting back on its feet and hungering to get back what it once was. Nowadays the club is on a sustained decline, getting just that little bit worse every year, we have money but no ambition to challenge. I think a number of prospective hires can see it from a mile off.

I presume the recruitment team have rewarded themselves with a day off since it's a Bank Holiday?

New ways? Not sure about that, it's the old ways which bring us to new lows.

FA not happy about this banner at Selhurst Park...

"Still" too early for me, but if we line up against Norwich and Watford in the same way we have in the last four he will begin to lose a lot of credit. I really want him to do well but it's time to try something new.

I was thinking of a different Let It Go. "Smallbone never bothered me anyway".

Celtic at home next. Could be judgement day for him.

I struggle to get up in arms about Trump the same way that many do. I just find his behaviour to be so absurd that it wraps around to being somewhat funny.

Here's our Onuachu replacement. Get it done Spors

with one of them being played as LB in place of Welington.

Fuck it, why not.

I don't see it happening really, I have a very bad feeling about the conclusion of this window.

This may come across as hysterical, but I think our reputation is seriously damaged. Players that would improve us do not want to come and use us as a bargaining chip for a better transfer. Our decent players don't want to extend, only dross do because they know we're their best pay day for the remaining years of their career. The academy feels more gutted than ever before with talent being poached well before it can bloom - Robinson being the only star we have had from it. (I discount Dibling as he could have easily chose to remain at Chelsea and it was unusual for him to return.) Managers do the same, Will Still is probably the first decently regarded manager since Hassenhuttl. Something will give eventually, and we will have to spend years kicking around the championship or worse whilst we change hands at executive level. I think that may begin soon.

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.
