Tremendous - we are in good hands

Apart from scoring a very good goal

What could possibly go wrong …

Need to keep Adams - he’ll get 20 goals plus in this league

Good win - 7 out of 9 is a decent start

Dreary stuff

Looking at a move for Jermain defoe or Dean Windass but depends on outgoings The manager didn’t seem to have much insight into what was going on from the press conferences. sensed there was some frustration there - skinny squad

You can add to that the abysmal recruitment in January. Whoever oversaw that wants shooting

Interesting that we’ve sold a number of players for large amounts yet we were absolutely pants last season. We obviously had some decent players yet were a really shit team. Now we might just end up a shit team with shit players

Indeed but looks like that’s where we are heading my theory is they gambled in January spent ( wasted) a lot and thought if it’s goes wrong and we go down we will just sell the best players in the summer and recoup the outlay so there was little financial downside. Obviously in footballing terms it’s not great

Get him sold - adams to follow with KWP and we’re looking good at least no one has come in for bazanu ( yet)

I know it was a joke Sarcasm doesn’t translate well on text

Good let’s get him out of the door - hopefully that rules him out for Saturday and we can get Mara more involved

No downes looks to have some thought to it by random I mean typically last minute lacking purpose and thought and involving a bit of panic A classic random loan was maitland Niles

We have had a cycle of signing shit players, trying to shift them and when we do signing more shit players and rinse and repeat. Sometime we even compound it by offering new contracts to the shit players whose contract is about to expire. The window so far has been a damp squib on the incoming front. As I said earlier we look likely to shift the decent players and get a few random loans in. Also people who think we are off better off rid of adams are deluded

Yup that was my thought Feels a bit underwhelming at the moment

Good - would like to see us lose all our decent players by the end of the window with a few random loans to replace them

I really think we have done this to death. General consensus is he’s not great, might be all right in the future ( personally I think he will never be anything special) , but we are stuck with him for the foreseeable as the alternatives are even worse and the club have now publicly backed him

If we believe enough he will come good.

Fair point - up there with djenepo

As you know I’ve been one of bazanu’s biggest supporters this season but I agree it’s odd that no one in the club seems to think this needs addressing. The fact he was dropped last season shows they thought there was a problem then and the only thing that seemingly saved him was the fact his replacement was even worse. Suppose we will see what happens if they shift McCarthy

I don’t get the we must get behind him line regardless. No one is saying we’ve signed Tall Paul so let’s get behind him despite the fact he’s crap. There are plenty of players we are moving on because they aren’t up to it or don’t fit the mould. If RM thinks he’s a prospect then fine we as fans have to lump it but if he’s being given the direction from elsewhere then it’s a concern.

We’ve only been played two games - give it time. He got away with one yesterday that was offside and pre-season wasn’t without issues. Some good posts today on this subject. It is however hysterical for posters to suggest people hate him. From my perspective I want us to take the lad out of the firing line and get someone in who can help bring some experience and confidence to the defence. I accept that appears unlikely as things stand and the failure to address that is what people find frustrating; not the lad himself.

I’d rather have Neville Southall in goal - at least he would take up a proper position and marshall the defence

Thanks They’re not running the club manji id hope they would have the sense to see bazanu is a total liability
