Because that ban has incentivised them to hold onto their best players and recruit sensibly.

But how have they got around the embargo, they weren’t even allowed to extend players contracts they’ve already got, maybe we need to be in one, might sign some decent defenders

Of course we would lose to the team that cucked two goals against Wrexham in the last minute.

We are just so soft. There is such a lack of fight right now with some of our players. They need to be dropped.

As for the transfer business, let's wait a day or two, but we need a couple in. I won't say anything else at this point.

There’s too many ‘cucks’ and not enough reliable performers to replace them with.

Is your last sentence hinting at something?

No, just that having a meltdown is pointless as we could sign 5 players in the next 48 hours. Not that I expect that, but if the sirens aren't going off this weekend for them to get something done, then we're probably screwed.

I would seriously doubt if he still wants to come after today. The attraction for him was probably the likelihood that we would be promoted but that’s gone now.

We prioritised spending millions on a prospect who isn’t even fit to play.

Too many cucks spoil the promotion, as the old saying goes.

I genuinely dont think we have the time now to do the squad surgery we needed. We should have been on it from the 1st Jan

We need a midfielder, LB and a CM.

A dynamic left back, an experience CB whos been promoted and a physical CM

I don't think we have, the Markelo signing is obviously an 'as well as' rather than 'instead of'.

There's no way we'd do that deal if it meant we couldn't sign a CM, they're two totally separate things IMO.

He is also an unknown quantity. My point all along for a promotion push is to get proven quality in to get you over the line.

Esse is that but he’s not match fit.

We should have had players identified and ready to sign the first week of the transfer window. We were short on numbers from the summer but nothing seems to have been addressed. It's been a very poor window from us, we should have spent a good amount and got some quality championship players through the door.

Have a feeling it will be a busy day on Monday with a few more ins and some outs.

It needed probably 3 good signings to get us over the line. ST/RW, LB, CM.

At present we have signed 3. 3 wingers. One of which isn't fit, pretty unproven, and cost us 5 million. Another looks like he's barely going to be used and was barely getting in the team at Portsmouth. Esse seems like he can contribute something useful, and has hit the ground running.

I stress we need to refrain judgment until the window closes, but I will be going all in if it ends like this.

I think there is still reason to even question how slow its been. We should have been proactive and got a lot of deals agreed ahead of it opening.

Godo continues to look good at Strasbourg. Wish we had got him

But least recruitment identifying good players. We can't sign everyone we interested in, doesn't work like that

Also people need to stop going on like the new signing has stopped us making other signings.

I love him but he's in poor form. Yet it seems kitching will always get more pelters than him. Thought they both crap today equally.

He walks around and acts like he is Sergio ramos, he’s overrated and a liability. If there was a chance that we could have sold him and got hughes in the summer and Doug put a stop to it then even more questions have to be asked

Hadn't seen much of Yang previously but he's way off what we needed . Complete waste of a squad place. He needs to go back , Brau get rid of , sell Bidders , deregister Dovin . Replace with proven quality at this level LB , CM absolute minimum. Still won't be any good unless Lampard develops more than the one game plan he has currently. Currently tactics couldn't be any simpler for opposition managers.

I’m the least ITK of all time, so when I say I wouldn’t be surprised to see Allen, Bidwell and Brau go out on Monday it’s just me guessing, we need to create some space in the squad .
