I’m guessing Woolf and a failed late move for someone

Called it.. selling Ben Sheaf and not replacing him is questionable I must say

He's tried for 3 and failed for whatever reason. People won't be happy though because they'd rather we go out and overpay for a player.

I felt we needed 2 or 3 before we let Binks go, to loose Binks, Bassette on loan, and Sheaf and then only bring one in leaves us a bit light in my opinion, and we’ve struggled with depth for the last few seasons

45 minutes to go but assuming it now stays the same then it’s a big season for Josh Eccles. Need him pushing hard and performing to keep Torp on his toes and Allen out the first 11.

If that's all we got out of today that is a piss poor transfer window

Without being negative, we are stronger in defence but weaker in Midfield and upfront after today and one of our better youngsters has gone on loan which to be fair he needs but one less player for the bench or injuries.
Austin does have a lot to answer for, and realistically needs replacing for us to push on. The guy failed as a manager and was doing this role at a non league club. Probably a cheap option at the time.
I have faith that King will replace him with someone better as he’s done with other back office areas.
Bonus is if it’s just one still some good free agents about to add some depth.

We'll be better than mid-table, but there was an opportunity to push on and we haven't taken it.

How the flying fuck you can get rid of your captain in the middle of the park and not replace him is a beyond a joke to me. Genuinely baffled why they would ever sanction that and now we are left with Jamie Allen as the cover

Doug bling and dean Austin, they are both absolutely useless. People will just be blinded because we’ve got the stadium

Is it? We've been building a squad for 2/3 years.

Grimes came in January because it was clear Sheaf would be leaving at some point.

It’s more common sense. If you don’t know for certain you can replace an integral part of your team then you don’t sanction it in any circumstance.

To go out and chance it and lose out (as we seem to do every recent summer transfer deadline day) is poor

What is a bit frustrating is the lack of a loan or 2 to tide you over until Jan, it’s happened a few times now where we’ve left ourselves a bit short

It’s why you have a recruitment team, to line up targets. If you don’t get one, you move on. It’s not like we only have 3 targets and couldn’t get them…

Questions have to be asked… the depth isn’t there and nearly all fans can see it. A few injuries or even 3 games in a week and results will suffer. There were 2 lists, one for promotion and one for championship, it must have been written on a napkin. You surely would have a contingency in place for struggling to get deals done. Theres been some great deals from other clubs, even on a free/loan basis. I’d guess Lampard isn’t the happiest at the situation given he’s previously commented on the struggle of a smaller squad.

2 strikers out on loan leaves us short if the others are effectively the cover for wingers

This is the weakest Championship for years. If Torp continues like he has started it would be like having a new good signing.

The fact you dont see this window as a bit of a shambles and everyone else does doesnt suggest to you to admit you were wrong about this transfer window? Or do you have too much pride?

It does make me wonder how hard it must be to work in football recruitment departments. An entire season, with “a list for the premier league and a list for the championship”. Is the list just one person per position? Fucking hell

Which integral part of the team did we lose?

Sheaf was replaced in January.

We've kept Rudi, Milan and Haji who were all at one stage liked with moves away.

We are down one often injured back up midfielder

We have swapped Binks for a much better CB

We finally have cover at rb

Everyone wants more players but idiots saying we will be lucky to mid table etc are just that idiots

I love how its either sign no players or we sign overpriced crap players and no inbetween.

Its the director of footballs job to find players for a good price and he's failed.

Its the owners responsibility to negotiate good deals on players and hes failed.
