The point about Adkins is a very fair one.

I thought all the players mentioned were outstanding today. As you say, a tough decision. Puncheon was a revelation today, glad we didn't sell him.

Adkins has earned the right to a fair crack of the whip. I am not advocating sacking him, despite the mistakes he has made. As you say, we've played top sides. For the most part we've done very well. Adkins needs to get a bit more streetwise. I think he's trying to be too clever. But like the rest of the squad, it's a big jump for him as well. I will say though, that it's about 50/50 with my mates over whether he should go. Zero points after 4 games and a lot of people will be asking questions.

You seem very sure that Cortese is signing players without Adkins authority. Did he sign Jos, Davis, Rodriguez, Fox and Lee as well then? My view is that the chairman has spectacularly backed the manager this transfer window, not undermined him.

Stunning management by Adkins, taking off our 3 best players.

Crap manager. Let's face it, my nan could be a successful manager of Porto. AVB was badly found out at Porto, and Levy has made a rare mistake here. Much more likely that HR will end up back at Spurs than down here.

I'd imagine Forest are honouring his contact for the season and he's further up North, so don't feel too sorry for him. Without his goals last season, we might never have gone up. Good luck Billy, Forest are now my Championship team.

Happy with squad. Wonder if Moshida could play left-back? Apparently quick and comfortable with both feet. No doubt he is primarily a centre-back, might may offer us cover on the left in the event of a crisis. Fox isn't a bad player though, and I reckon he'll improve once he gets used to the Premier.

Got to be happy with our business this window. Really looking forward to seeing our new players in action. Good luck to Hammond and Billy.

Where do you want to go?

Heard this rumour this morning on the golf course, but to be honest I dismissed it out of hand.

I'd settle for a player who could play centre or left back.

I reckon you could be right.

Not until 11pm. More deals possible.

Real shame if true, will always be grateful for his scoring run last season that helped get us up.

Clearing the decks for Billy.

Was never in doubt.

I feared this, and it's one of the reasons I started the thread about players leaving. I hope he stays, natural goalscorer.

Just been accosted by the pen agent, he wants 5% of my pens. Don't worry, he's laying by the kerb now with the crap kicked out of him. Nearly there, don't panic everyone.

Can't have too many fallback options. Get down here, I'm behind a bus now and it's like driving miss f*cking daisy.

I bet he orders his pizza tonight seconds before their 11pm deadline.

Can't talk. Just paid my 60p, on my way over the bridge as we speak. Cortese has arranged for the stewards to lift the car park barrier for me. He is sh*tting his pants,and is worried I might not make it there with my pens by 11pm. Adkins is pacing the car park waiting for me. If the Sky bloke gets in my way I'm going to f*cking knock him out.

Woolston, or the plentiful supply of pens?

I'm on my way. Look out for me on SSN.

I've got loads of pens. I'm only in Woolston. Shall I nip them round to the stadium?
