The Championship playoffs.

Decent deal that for a lad that cost us nothing. Interesting to know if he pushed for the deal or his agent. When the next wonder kid breaks through they have dreams of playing for the top 4, not Everton. As someone else said, he either has an absolute stormer and we end up getting another £10+ million further down the line when he goes to a big club, or he stinks the place out and we’ve had their pants down for 40 odd million.

Shameful seeing how much fight Sunderland and Leeds put up in their first game compared with our limp dicked attempt at being a Premier League team.

Yeah Frank had Brentford punching above their weight for far too long, this could be a tough season. As much as I’d love West Ham to drop I suspect they’ll turn it around under Potter. I’m hoping Burnley can be the next team to challenge Derby for the wooden spoon record, they’re certainly capable.

Hopefully he kicks down Spors’ door tomorrow and says get me some players you fucking helmet.

I’d have taken it before the game but that was still pretty horrific watching. We’re on par with our last championship campaign with 4 from 2 but it’s clear we need some new faces pretty sharpish. Very different to when we blew Ipswich away 5-2 in our second game of 2011/12!!

If we could sort our backline out this game is definitely there for the taking. Starting to think we need a proper defensive coach because it looks embarrassingly bad so far

Don’t understand how Carragher gets away with commentating on Liverpool games. His biased little whiney Scouse accent, fapping away every time Liverpool do something mildly exciting. He shouldn’t even have a job after spitting at that kid.

I mean, if we’re not going to bring anyone else in this window then we may as well hang on. Given the way Still wants us to attack at speed he could be a better option off the bench than some.

Proper weird behaviour that, even for them lot.

Has anyone heard anything regarding Leicester and their punishment for overspending? Last I heard was they’d made it harder for Leicester to escape a penalty as they did before via the loophole of not being in the particular league the offence occurred due to relegation/promotion.

Shame the skates are out, fancied a repeat of 2003 when we drew them as a warm up to the league match. That was dreadful tonight, only plus is that it’s extra fitness for the squad, but we look seriously short of cohesion. I hope Spors has a few signings lined up else this could be a long season.

That could be one of the worst halves of a football match I’ve ever watched from a quality POV. I’ve seen Sunday league teams with more cohesion than us. Reminds me of that Lincoln City game under mad Nate where we just looked completely disjointed. Main takeaways are that we definitely need a new keeper as a number 2 that is going to pressure Baz for the number 1 spot. QPR fans must be easily pleased, Edward’s default setting seems to be Russball across the face of his goal regardless of pressure which you just don’t do as a footballer. Lastly BBD, I tried being patient I really did, but fuck me that bloke has just lost it. It reminds of that Space Jam movie when they steal the abilities of all the NBA players. Like he woke up one day and had forgotten how to play football.

Shambles

MLG mode: commentator talking about Alex McCarthy being part of the 2017 league cup final team for us despite not even being in the squad that day.

How did Macca get away with handball there 😂

Pires and Pennant both got hat tricks in the same game, a 6-1 drubbing of….us.

On DH gate you need to take a look at their size guide when ordering kids kits, they do theirs in numbers 16,18,20 and so on and so forth. They’ve definitely got them on there,£15 including shipping for an entire kids kit is madness frankly

How did Edozie get on last season? Never really kept up but I was hoping he’d return a better player and we’d see the benefit this season.

Can’t agree with the penalties not being stonewall, I reckon VAR would have given both of them with no arguments. That being said VAR would have had an absolute field day yesterday, and I’m glad we don’t have to worry about it for a season at least.

“I believe in Santa more than him.” Brilliant.

Was nice to see some proactive changes today from a manager when things weren’t working, and an all out attempt to attack the game towards the end. I’d like to think the little bit of luck we got with the result was due to the hard work they’ve been putting in with their fitness, as seen with Poch and Strachan. I’m hopeful that if he’s as meticulous as we’ve heard he’ll analyse that match and drop the Armstrong at number 9 experiment. Was silly seeing crosses go into the box with one of the seven dwarves up front. If he wants to play that way then Ross Stewart needs to lead the line.

Kid is an absolute shithouse already, mad that’s he’s only 21. A few errors but that’s forgivable for his first competent home game in a new country and league, think he could go on and be a very good player this season.Will learn a lot once THB is alongside him.

Probably worth mentioning we’ve got a midweek trip to Northampton before we worry about this match….

This post was going through me head with every poor decision he made.Turned out to be a good omen, but fuck me what a useless wanker he was today.
