Fully deserved....we are a total shambles.

Another attacking corner screwed up....

FFS, we are ludicrously lucky to be 1-0 up.

We are so fragile defending....

Woeful defending. Again.

Ok, glad we're winning, but am a bit underwhelmed by the performance so far.

Yesssss!

4141 according to Adam Blackmore...

Utterly dire. I was so optimistic a couple of weeks ago. We have utterly bombed since. Knee jerk reaction - but I think I’d consider sacking the manager before long. You can’t be letting in 3 goals a game.

That was embarrassing. Possession football is fine, but not with such defensive fragility and no bite up front. Beyond disappointing. But hey, 2 weeks to regroup.

I gave it a 9. Maybe a bit OTT, but overall definitely very good. We’re in good shape and I’m looking forward to watching us play for the first time in quite a while.

Basically you were right for the wrong reasons. If Sulemana’s move hadn’t collapsed, we almost certainly would have signed Roberts.

In effect, Sully is the replacement because it was assumed he’d leave. And he didn’t.

I’m holding out for Kasper Schmeichel…

Amateur hour now on twitter…..they can’t get Blackmore online….

SSN just reported Stewart signed and Adams staying.

If we had the chance to sign Ings for £60k per week and said no, I’d be amazed.

Total absence of KWP rumours is odd (and possibly encouraging)…probably speaking too soon.

If the speculation around Ballard and Mara is right, I agree that indicates we have other targets. But obviously we need to be sure of the incomings before allowing a swathe of outgoings. I’d say we are going to look great in every slot apart from perhaps CF. Get that right and I’m a lot more optimistic about promotion.

My biggest worry is our CF deficit continues. The worst case scenario of Adams, Mara and Ballard going and just Stewart coming in is grim indeed. If Che somehow stays, great. I’d even take Mara staying at a pinch. But I’m probably being too pessimistic. I assume Ings on loan is fantasy? (Or could we get him for a % of his wages if he is surplus to requirements?)

We’re after Patrick Roberts and Ross Stewart. Why not combine the deal and just sign Patrick Stewart?

Hope everyone is “braced” for the next two days. I’m feeling a bit more optimistic about keeping Che & KWP - simply because every hour that passes without them moving is an hour closer to deadline. We should play hardball with Sully and if he stays (even if he sulks for a while), we don’t need Paintsil. ABK and Tall Paul leaving, Che and KWP staying and Stewart and THB joining would be a great window. But it probably won’t be that smooth…

Thank God we seem to have offered him a completely fresh new contract. I'd have been annoyed if we hadn't. I fear he is still off though.
