This is fucking depressing. The fact the transfer deadline day thread has descended into pension talk and a list of pathetically shit footballers who have left us is testament to how bad this day is.

I don't get the anger. There has been strong Willis rumours all month, so now he finally goes. Slade has bought in two CB's and a RB, plus we have Stokes (sort of), Turnbull and Harries in the background. If I had to pick one of the three strongly rumoured to leave (Stevenson, Harries and...

He's a good centre back, but a poor right back. He is prone to the odd mistake and if he didn't have pace he would be caught out a lot more. It's a shame he spent too long playing RB for us, and when he was CB he was usually next to somebody poor. He has the ability to play at a higher level...

You'd be gutted if you were staying in the hotel the same night 20k+ football fans are outside your window.

We should play cliche bingo. Guarentee we'll hear a 'get it forward' within the first five minutes. The worst part is, the shout is actually accurate of our current "tactics".

I was intrigued so I had a look. Bloody hell that is tragically bad. Good location as well - turn it into something decent and you'd make some decent money.

I would expect 25k attendance. The chance to watch the team at Wembley for the first time in 30 years and potentially the last time for another 30, will bring out all the fans who no longer support the team, NOPM, casuals etc. Can't wait to hear people get names wrong, shout cliche shit and...

Yes, they are. It could supper it but that was my point re Slade/Venus/whoever, having plans for those players leaving i.e. replacements targeted and clubs made aware. They are close to the deals, they should know how likely any are to go through.

Not sure why some are actually criticising SISU for rejecting offers? I get that they are absolute tossers, but they literally can't win. In what world is holding out extra for players a negative? The clubs stump up the extra; great, the clubs don't; we get to keep our better players. However...

He doesn't. It's SISU funded remember.

He's not a footballer, he's technically poor but he is an athlete. Poor mans Telfer.

This is a really important point that shouldn't be overlooked. I'm sure a lot of people feel the same, especially the older generation or supporters with children. Make the Ricoh intimidating for the opposition but not our own fans. Protesting behind a cause is good, but outright thuggish...

Can't believe how quiet this thread is, three hours before kick off. I wonder if the Wycombe and (hopefully) Wembley threads will be?

Or that.

Not sure on that formation? TM tried to play a narrow attacking strategy, which in itself didn't work, especially as Reid is very much a winger and nothing else. Equally if it is intended to be Rose/Reid on the wings, I am not a fan of Rose out there. He offers energy but lacks the technical...

Nonsense. Willis at RWB and Rose at 10 is an obvious attacking strategy.

I personally liked how non confrontational, non controversial and diplomatic the opening post was. If it was an aggressive over defensive post it would have been ridiculed. Good job it wasn't.

Selfishly I really hope it is this date, I am out of the country the w/c 20th. The first game this season I actually want to see and it might be the first home one I miss!

I'm in the same boat - gutted. Tempted to still buy one, although I do have a season ticket which I would assume will give me some sort of preference for Wembley.

Devastated. Season ticket forever, rarely miss a match yet the only game this season I'm actually excited for....and I'm on holiday that week!!
