Odd that he has had such limited involvement? He's obviously a bit of a cunt, but asking a lot of Jander and Charles to play so much football.

We could crowbar in another CB, leave Fellows Azaz and Robinson out and see if Ronnie Corbett available to add to our comedy midget attack.

We are a basket case. We need someone with experience and extremely thick skin, who can fill in both as a keeper and a centre forward. I vote for Billy the Fish.

I counted two touches, and he gave the ball away both times. I can't remember a player who deliberately tries to avoid getting involved as much as him.

It means Rasmus has to spend more time in Turkey than Southampton?

Surely we can blame Trollope by now?

Allowed to play for two clubs now, see Guiu at Chelsea. No idea why.

Interesting that Spors hasn’t moved his family over. Whilst understandable, it’s unsustainable for anything other than the short term. Solak’s business complications are a mess which will impact us sooner rather than later. I don’t doubt their commitment (particularly Solak’s financial commitment) - unfortunately it’s their competence which appears utterly suspect. They lurch from one football plan to another and whilst might be nice guys, their impact on the playing squad and club has been utterly abysmal. With the owner suffering a challenging situation with his core business and a very uncertain outcome for it, I would be amazed if we weren’t actively looking for a sale.

Sorry to hear about your wife, FF, best wishes to you.

The only bright spark of the whole season, Robinson, doesn’t even get on the pitch. A shambolic mess from top to bottom.

Second best in every league game so far. toothless up front. physically weak. and Bazunu, Stephens and Harwood Bellis at the back. happy days.

Harwood Bellis and Stephens. Has there ever been a more dislikable CB pairing.

Great strike by Shea

No.

They don’t look particularly unrealistic? and really, Farmer was making a point on the generic wage saving and had already commented on the potential lack of precise accuracy. Why jump on it in that tone? Do you have evidence that they’re “a complete mess” or just your opinion?

A comically bad game

I can't think of a single redeeming feature of his game.

Our relentless march to the Net Spend Trophy

Wesley Hoedt. You're welcome.

1/10

Ah, that makes sense. Before a ceremonial tearing-up of final year of contract.

Seemingly. Weird.

It all looks perfectly positioned for Levy to come in with a lower offer than Everton’s on deadline day and get his man.

Agreed. And also don't have unrealistic expectations on Robinson to be our most creative force this season - he's only 18, and will do well to play 1/3 of the time (and even better if he plays well for 50% of that time....)

Aren't we allowed 5 loans? I'd imagine we'll use most if not all of them and (remarkably) we used the loan market quite effectively last Championship season. If THB, Dibling and Fernandes go for say £80-90m, that would be 9 out & c.£120-130m in (Paul, Sulemana, KWP off wages, Ramsdale loan + wages, Edozie, Bednarek). £10m out so far on 2 players. If we lose those three plus say another couple (11 out), we'd only need 4 or 5 replacements (7 in in total), i.e. mainly loans? Maybe one or two permanents, but can't see many more than that. £100m player trading profit, younger profile squad. Spors' CV will never have looked so good.
