But better than anything we have at CB, which says a lot.

Yoshida needs to be nowhere near the pitch

That is being generous.

Well at least Ralph is seeing how it is first hand - defence is horrific, mass clearout needed.

He just isn't very good.

We just can't defend.

Got him at 14-1 on betfair although max they would let me stake was £18

Re-read the post...just after joining us...funny how things turn out.

The only thing it will kickstart is financial meltdown

Just after joining us didn't Pochettino **** himself laughing in a press conference when a journo suggested Nigel Adkins had claimed that Gazzanigga could go on to play for Argentina? Funny how things work out.

And all comprehensively better than Garth Crooks.

No issue at all if they are, as long as they are, rather than suddenly being on there for "statistical purposes". You totally missed the point, which isn't an entire surprise. Also, I'm probably younger than you lol.

Yep all over other sports like cricket and rugby now too. Tokenism.

Nor would Ross Wilson it appears.

Tell her to buy some ****ing decent players.

A masterclass in bull**** corporate management speak - I mean, "what I call a space"...FFS it is cringeworthy.

Yeah that's where I'm at. However, Reed should go too.

Club surveys about "match day experience" - we just want to experience a win or even a goal ffs, couldn't give a **** about burgers, brass bands, PA systems, fireworks, light shows. The product on the pitch is the only thing that ****ing matters - and it is sub standard.

Ross Wilson is to recruitment what Shane Long is to goalscoring.

Did he go lame?

Agree with all of that. We lacked mobility up front and wide - I haven't seen anything so far from Elyounoussi to think he will make an impact this season, seems off the pace and was slow to track back at times. Our corners and attacking set pieces generally continue to be a complete disaster.

I'd say a combination of both but successive managers have failed to get the best out of them so you have to conclude the squad is extremely average and/or the make up of it is all wrong - 3 left backs, 1 right back, 4 goalkeepers, very similar strikers, lack of pace, Pelle and Mane have never been replaced, no leaders, just being examples off the top of my head. We have been left with a bloated squad full of mediocrity and lacking in quality - it is a damning indictment that only one of our summer signings started yesterday and two were not even on the bench. The recruitment policy, assuming that there is one, is at best disjointed and at worse negligent.

Ross Wilson has been responsible for scouting and recruitment since 2015, from which time we have witnessed a succession of failed transfers, bizarre contract decisions and extremely poor transfer windows. Reed is ultimately responsible as Wilson reports into him but you have to question what on earth the guy is thinking and whether in reality he is just not very good at his job. Poor decisions have cost the club millions, he is lucky to still be in a job imo.

Clearly Toby is a disciple of Ralph.

Because they aren't very bright.
