In the run-in to that top 6 finish we were playing Allen, Eccles and Kelly. There were also starts for Howley and Maguire. People now flapping over a midfield of Sheaf, Torp, Rudoni and Eccles (who has moved on a lot). Mental.

We're trying. These are complex deals, we're not awash with cash. These are significant amounts of money. £3 million is equivalent to 10,000 season tickets. The deal has to be right, and if it's not, we pass.

All I was hearing all summer was how much they were looking forward to seeing Torp in his first full season, how Eccles was an underrated talent, what a great signing Rudoni was. Suddenly they're all shit 😆. A couple of them haven't had the best of starts granted and we do need some depth, but...

Some mad takes I've read tonight on sm. We've spent 45 million in two seasons, net spend of 10 million all while losing 500K a month and it's also evident were trying to bring someone in. It may not happen, but not sure what people are expecting. We've got what we've got. We get on with it.

Maybe, but sales seem slow. Can't see many of these shifting. Even if 27K that's a good gate really, but with such a high ST base would be nice to sell a few more. As mentioned, these questionable cat A fixtures are a hard sell.

Think they are being a bit ambitious with that. Perhaps they were expecting the usual Friday boost, but appears hardly a seat sold today. I didn't expect high demand for this game. £62 for adult and child for a televised game against meh opposition, lots of people won't pay that. I think in...

Apart from last 5 minutes, there was almost zero jeopardy tonight. Very comfortable that. Need to move the ball quicker at times and 1st half was a bit flat with almost a pre season feel. Dominated 2nd half though and should have bagged a couple more. Job done.

Fair enough. If anyone had said a few years ago we'd be calling a gate of 26-27K 'poor' we'd have probably laughed at them. The point being, from a base of 21.5K, for cat A fixtures, given they are supposedly where demand is highest, they'd probably expect more. It might fill up as we get...

It is odd. League games I don't think are an issue, but tonight, when many might make a last minute decision to go, it is a recipe for very long queues.

All games it seems.

Just name and postcode from experience.

It'll look like every other ground in the competition tonight tbf.

Surprised to hear that, Norwich fan I was speaking to the other day said they'd only sold 900. Happy for him to be wrong though.

It's the league cup 2nd round. Still willing to bet it's higher than most of the all championship ties tonight. Sort of game where you might expect a big walk up, but with no print at home or potg, queues will be mad, people won't fancy that. I'd be more worried about sales for Saturday. Be...

Well, yes. Way too early to write us off. But, it seems to me most people are not doing that. We lost 5 of the last 6 last season, and were well beaten in all those games. The exception was a 0-0 draw at Blackburn where they had 30 goal attempts to our 6. We've hardly pulled up any trees this...

Yeah, 2 games out of the 3 we've only had 2 efforts on target in 3 hours. Some very talented attacking players but there is a missing link atm. It will come, but midfield is a worry.

Same start as last season. Arguably better start last season (performance wise), the one game we lost (at Leicester) we played really well.

A bit worrying that. We'll improve for sure, but we're some way off at the moment. We seem quite easy to play against, press high and we struggle to cope. Are we trying to play on the break? I can't really tell what the plan is, but midfielders sitting so deep it doesn't work. We went there...

Not sure it is that bad. Selling block N35 now which I assume is the last block they'd sell (could well be wrong though).

I'm not sure understand the objection to removing the 3pm blackout. Why would somebody be less likely to attend a televised 3pm game than a televised 12.30pm game, surely the opposite is true? Away fans more likely to go if it's 3pm and all those who work Saturday morning and kids who play...
