SNSUN

He's a good Championship striker that is only 24 and is getting better with game time and may or may not make the step up to the Prem - but for the money Norwich want for him (£25 million+ with a contract until 2028) he's not yet worth it IMO as he'd be too big of a risk. He leads the line well, presses well, brings others into play and can finish but... his injury record is somewhat iffy. I think Bournemouth have been interested though which shows the sort of level he may get to and for that money we should be able to do better. Enter this Yuri fella...

Well done @Benthelegend

I'm a fan of JWP and for the right price I'd love to see him back but we have a potential midfield three of Fernandes, Lesley and Downes with Smallbone, Lallana, Dibling and Aribo competing and I just fell we need to sort the attack out way more than central midfield. Our attack looks weak compared to the rest of the team (as long as we get Bijlow in).

I choose to believe that this video was actually achieved with the use of A.I. and he actually plants each and every one of those shots in the back of the net. But seriously, I’ve never heard of him but stats wise he’s 23 and has scored goals wherever he’s been… however I remember when we were linked with Carrillo how people were bemoaning the transfer before it happened, and that proved to be correct. So I have decided to stand with the fans. Down with Yuri! Guilty until proven innocent!

I have it on good authority that we've put a bid in for Kalimuendo. On FM. I'm buying him for Saints on FM. Any news on Bijlow? Must be close...

Seems to have very Tadic-y numbers... which is ironic seeing as he's at the same club we got Tadic from.

I like Alcaraz and he's stated he's happy to be here and try to do well for the team (which is refreshing for a 21 year old in a sport where big money beckons) and I think he has talent, but if he doesn't fit our current manager's system then we should get what we can for him. I'm pretty sure he'll go on to have a good career and we may one day regret selling him but I'd rather sell him and bring in the money to strengthen the team with players that can actually improve us now.

I maintain, I don't think their recruitment is any better than ours. We've made punts that could work, they've made punts that could work. I don't think either club stay up at the end of the season but what we've both done is strengthen our teams for the next promotion push.

Player wise yes. Manager wise no. 4-3-3 is fine with they players we have, we just have to get the new lads up to speed and fast... and hope Russ stops playing 3 CBs when it's not required. (TBF If I'm being honest, I've never been a fan of 3 CBs. If 2 CBs can't do a good enough job then you haven't got the right CBs! 3 CBs blunts the attack as you're either having to leave out a midfielder or an attacker and hope that your wing backs are good enough.)

If Russ plays 3 CBs I'll go mad. But I bet he does. Anyway this isn't a competition we will win, nor should it be any kind of priority for us, so I'd put a "weaker" team made out of new players/squad players and youngsters and see what they can do. Though there is something to be said for making today's team play again until they learn how to score a goal.

Our wide players are AA, BBD, Edozie, SAA and Sulemana and our attackers are Archer, Stewart and the unfavoured TP. Our Attack is where we need work.

I'm hoping he gets it in the ear from Lucy after a game - she's one of us after all.

Bijlow Sugawara - THB - Jan - KWP Downes - Lesley - Fernandes AA - Archer - BBD Already that looks better on paper than what we started with today.

I appreciate the idea of sticking by the players who got you promoted but we were hardly pulling up trees last year - we largely scraped through to promotion. Thankfully with Ugochukwu and Fernandes fully integrated, we won't have to rely on the others that much. Still work to do in the transfer window and... Russ - please don't play 3 CBs at home against the likes of Forest. Thanks.

Hands up - who triple captained Haaland today? 😀

I do think we will improve as the season goes on and we find our feet and our new signings bed in - I also think that survival may be possible because of other crap teams. But this home loss against an iffy Forest side does already hurt a bit.

Does this count as a Nun?

We have to hope Archer is the striker we all wish for...

Stream has gone. I'm going to say definitively, that's probably a good thing. I can't see us getting back into this unless someone scores a worldy or a penalty.

Thankfully when we do get Fernandes and Lesley up to speed, they won't be playing much. We hope.

Get the keeper sorted then for the last 5 days of the window can we please bring in another attacker. Please.

Clubs don't get relegated in August but this is a team we shouldn't be losing to if we want to stay up.

Awful defending

If you don't you'll end up spanking your monkey.

Russ needs to stop thinking about Lucy's knockers and start thinking about subs.
