Subbing Mara on is akin to going down to 10-men. Utterly useless signing and such an invisible player. Adams is sulking and doesn't look like he's fully invested. Why we signed Ross Stewart, who knows. Clearly not going to be match-fit much before Christmas.

4 lucky points in the last few days. 2 piss poor performances Papering over the cracks?

Mara coming on. That'll frighten Hull. Utterly invisible and pointless player. May as well go down to 10-men.

Lovely stuff. Now let's have them.

More chance of reappointing Nathan Jones.

Get these chancers gone. Absolutely clueless at running a football club. Poor decision after poor decision, and downhill ever since they got their claws into the club.

More like Sport Republic out. Complete charlatans.

Starting Aribo & Armstrong in CM with Alcaraz on the bench should be a sackable offence.

Whens he going to start cooking then? Utter toilet. Should've just got rid. He doesn't want to be here and it shows.

The last 2 games have been bad, really bad. But bit early to be calling for his head. Give it till end of October for me and see where we are.

Sulemana certainly cooked last night.

Annoys me. Why can't people just say a central Midfielder? That's effectively what they are.

What amazes me from that list is that Jake Vokins is still here. No disrespect to the lad, but why? You don't seem him in training, you never see him playing for the b-team - has he had some serious injuries we dont know about?

Tall Paul will probably be gone as well. We could give Ballard a chance ... oh wait, he'll be gone too. Good to have options at least.

Yep. Exactly this. If we can't give them a chance now, when will we? The cynic in me would suggest if Ballard was signed from City this summer, he'd be straight in the 1st team ...

He played for the u21s last week as well, didn't stop him being subbed off early & hopping in a taxi to Plymouth for a 1230 KO to sit on the bench then.

Where did I say that? Reread it again, and come back to me. In fact, I'll sum it up from my original post; I should reiterate I don't expect us to splash it all at once this window. That would be stupid. But something, please!

Then maybe the club shouldn't be so public in that the "funds will be used to refresh the squad" Here's what they said on the Tino announcement. "Although disappointed to lose Livramento, the club chose to accept Newcastle’s latest bid as it both represented fair value for a player of his ability while the fee will also support the wider rebuilding project within the squad this summer." And JWP. "While the club is naturally disappointed to see him leave, we understand his desire to continue pursuing his career both in the Premier League and on the European and international stages, and are satisfied that we have now received appropriate compensation for a player of his quality and importance, which can further support the club’s own plans in the remainder of the transfer window." Call me naive, but from those statements, you would very much expect the funds to be used to fund incomings. Instead we're getting loans & frees rather than investing the money & getting permanent deals. We've seen no sign that those fee's are being used to support the rebuilding project. I should reiterate I don't expect us to splash it all at once this window. That would be stupid. But something, please!

I mean, we've made good money this summer, yet we seem reliant on loans & free transfers for incomings.

Ballard is jokes. We have to give him an opportunity for the seniors. 2 hattricks in 2 games of football is rridiculous and very deserving of him moving up.

Ah well, at least we know what Wilcox thought when MLT scored against him. Truly inspiring question.

Can we be more friendly to away teams ... What a waste of a question.

Where? Because a couple of weeks ago he said this: "I've come back to play a big part for Southampton this season."

Ballard needs to be in the 1st team. Sack Mara off and give his squad place to Dom. More than ready to step up.

Yeah, but she's good to look at
