Have to agree with you.

I also cannot fathom the reason we seem to buy a majority of small players. If they are super talented they can get away with it but most sides similar to us that do well usually have a core of strong athletes who can get about the pitch. I'm hoping Ugochukwu will help us in this respect.

Well the Brighton appointment was based on their previous good governance whereas SR have yet to demonstrate it so probably not a fair comparison.

That was kinda my point - maybe I worded it badly but I was trying to say that the 'bedwetters' could be deemed as realists if we don't show much improvement 10 games into the season. Conversely, if we suddenly click into gear, performances improve and we start picking up results over the next few games then bedwetters is apt. We'll see.

Doesn't make it any less painful if we sign him and he flops. Of course, if we sign him he could be a roaring success in which case the scouts of the said clubs are doing their jobs.

We are owned by SR whereas Brighton are not - hence they continue to leave us trailing in their wake.

Bedwetters or realists? I guess we'll find out after ten games.

Agree both games could have been draws but that's being generous in the case of the Nottingham Forest game. Ok, the only goal stemmed from a mistake but if we're honest they were streets ahead of us all over the pitch and should have won by more than the single goal. We had one harmless shot that went straight at the keeper.

Larios is not even close to being good enough to play in the Premier League.

In a parallel universe of someone's imagination it would seem.

If you continually discourage your midfield players to take risks and sell those that do, don't be surprised if you end up with a midfield of safe ball recyclers who create nothing - seems Russell is getting pretty close to his end goal.

This gets more bizarre and ridiculous by the minute.

Rasmus playing Moneyball by the sounds of it.

Explains the interest in this Brazilian clown then.

Is that so? Haven't seen anything other than the deal includes Hugo.

If we get him can the fee be based on the funny clips. They'll have to pay us millions to take him off their hands.

Go on then. Good luck.

He makes Tall Paul look like Ronaldo.

Brazil's version of Mr Bean.

Apparently those were his best bits.

That made me laugh 🙂 If we sign this clown the lunatics truly have taken over the asylum but he'll certainly get fans laughing rather than crying.

Hope this is click bait.

Oh dear. Hopefully this one can be filed in the list of rumours that never happened.

Isn't that rather concerning or have I misinterpreted it.

Looks like the Dunce Cap formation - quite apt really.
