i am astounded at how some people think we will just have the same 11 every game. it’s unbelievable

We won't, hence why we have players on the bench.

You might hate the likes of Eccles, Simms, KKH, Allen, Lati and Bidwell but they have and will do a job when required. They aren't random academy players, they are experienced Championship footballers.

You're right we're just going to have the same eleven players start all 46 games because that's how football works, my bad.
Who said that? I'm just saying Sheaf wouldn't have played as many times as you said. If you want to change what we are talking about because you were wrong then so be it.

I’m convinced we must have a free agent heading our way. Lampard likes wing play, yet we have no cover or players that can come in and change up the dynamic of the game. It just doesn’t make sense to intentionally go into a season with one of the leanest in the championship.

When I saw Raphael was going, I was convinced we must be getting in a winger. I would love a straight answer to why that wasn't the case. Despite what some have said, he would have got minutes, whether filling on for injuries or as an option from the bench.
As Palace have done, you can agree to a transfer on condition a replacement comes in, then pull the plug if not.

Well clearly we can't prove who is right or wrong so it's a pretty futile argument.

I just think it's absolutely mad to suggest that Sheaf would be resigned to the bench for the season.

Let me put it another way, do you think Allen and Eccles are better than Sheaf?

I’m notoriously on the fence with things, I never really fluster when things don’t go right. But to come out of this window with no added midfielders, and then going on to sell our captain on deadline days feels criminal to me. Allen/Eccles are not promotion chasing midfielders, it’s as simple as that.

We are 1 serious injury to Rudi, Grimes or Torp away for it to have a significant impact on our results. The drop off from the starting midfield to the backup is night and day. This should have been addressed long before Sheaf was sold.

Stadium aside (which is incredible) someone has seriously not done their job this window, and I genuinely feel we could pay a huge consequence.

That’s my bed wetting done for the year. I’m really angry. But we’ve had it much much worse, so I’ll always try to look for the positives.

We were linked with Lawrence all summer, worked with Lampard at Derby so potential there as an option out wide
Lampard played with Oxlade-Chamberlain for England and signed Ali for Everton so a few links there.
Some great free agents knocking around if needed.

signing any of them would be utter desperation
