Go onto their forums now and they have almost unanimously turned on him already. 2 points from Motherwell and Dundee with Celtic next up means lose to their biggest rivals and the league could literally be out of reach by the end of August. The awful results plus a complete rejection of what they’ve seen of his style of play in the league so far have got a lot of them calling for him to go already, which is insane but he was never going to get the leeway up there if he didn’t come flying out of the blocks. Him doing his ‘it takes time, trust the process’ thing is just throwing fuel on the fire. Time is the one thing they absolutely will not give him. They didn’t want him and now they’ve seen how ineffective his style is against teams who sit deep - which in the SPL vs Rangers is basically 90% of them - it’s gone toxic already. He needs to beat Celtic to have a chance of getting them back onside at this point, regardless of whether they get through in Europe or not.

Can’t see Levy paying £300k a week or whatever he’s on

Leicester manage to go a goal down at home against the few players Sheffield Wednesday have left

"Gassama looks terrific running onto the ball, but collecting it into feet he constantly stops, turns inside and plays it back or sideways." "We are far too slow and predictable in the build up. Three yard passes, and even when we pick the ball up in acres of space, instead of using it, we manage to turn back. We give Dundee three business days to organise themselves." "Rothwell is blowing our his arse after 30 mins" Pages and pages of it. Work your magic, Rusty. Work it.

I think full-time yesterday was the first time I'ver seen Baz smile. He usually seems very serious and loves a scowl. Absolutely delighted for the young custodian.

'Custodian'. Shoot magazine always used to call goalies 'custodians', but you never hear them called that any more, do you? I'm bringing it back. Custodian.

He'll lose against Celtic and drop points against a couple more of the dross teams, then the crowd will turn toxic and he won't last the season. EDIT: OK so they've actually viciously turned on him already and many up there are saying he won't last until Hallowe'en. They aren't buying his 'it will take time' nonsense. https://www.followfollow.com/forum/threads/martin-every-club-ive-been-a-bit-of-pain-and-when-you-get-through-it-its-worth-it.304843/

Yeah, of course. And in my correct opinion he was shit 😛

Yeah that's kind of my point. He missed loads, and got a lot wrong, for both sides. It got quite farcical.

They did get away with it though, all game. They were fouling us all the time and the ref did nothing.

Oh come on, the ref was absolutely appalling. He missed two blatant penalties for a start. And what about when he stopped the game for a head injury and the replay showed that in actual fact the ball had hit the bloke in the nuts?

Never in doubt 🤣 What a feeling, I'd forgotten what's it like. Love it!

No changes at half time. Mental.

lol no it wasn't. Edwards literally ran up behind him and pushed him squarely in the back with both hands. It was a brainless thing to do and the most clear penalty you will ever see.

He seems fairly keen himself to be fair

How many games have our new coaching team watched if they think Armstrong can play CF? And why are we compounding that by hitting high balls to hi, when he's up against 3 centre halves who are about a foot taller than him. Absolute madness tactically. Schoolboy level. Until we change that and introduce some sort of physical presence at CF who can hold the ball up or win a header, we're losing this game.

I thought exactly the same. It was definitely close. But not a single mention of it or a single replay to have a look.

Love that badge. The top looks like an angry Dogtanian wearing a pork pie hat and the bottom looks like ‘Fuck Andrew But’. It’s a fresh new reimagining and I’m all for it.

It seems pretty obvious to me. We’re obviously open to selling him, but only for our specified price, which no-one has offered yet. If he gets injured, we can’t sell him to anyone, so we’re keeping him wrapped in cotton wool until the end of the window. If during that time someone offers what we’re asking, then he will be sold. If no-one does, he stays, and from what everyone who knows him has said he will almost certainly not throw his toys out if that happens and will buckle down and get on with it. So he won’t play until the window closes, but would reintegrate and be available for selection again if no-one’s ponied up the £50m by 1st Sep. Until January, when the whole circus would start again.

Time to bring out the big guns

You really are special aren't you x

Port Vale's kit is absolutely magnificent. Best in the league by a mile.

That looks like a genuine Sergio Georgini

I’m a club plant. Do I win something?

Haven't Newcastle just paid £55m for Elanga? And Spurs just paid £55m for Kudus? It would seem a bit odd if either of them followed up paying loads of money for a right winger by paying loads more money for another right winger. Unless of course TEAMTalk is just a load of old steaming fucking shite. But that can't be true.
