Which is one of my main concerns in as much as none of them are due to return imminently.
It will almost certainly be next year before we have all 3 together on the pitch at the same time.

Good news is MVE is weeks not months

I think they’ll all be back by WBA

that’s the point though, we desperately need all the players that already played for us, as most of the new signings aren’t very good

Binks was very good last night, but why spend 4 million on Kitching for him to sit on the bench?

I don’t care what some randos on SBT thought. And it was clear last year we had more. People need to stop minimising everything with either “vik was shit at first” or “look at last season”. There’s a qualitative difference here and it’s insulting to pretend there’s not. We’ve seen nothing from this team to hint they have any fight whatsoever. And for the big signings not a hint of football ability.

Their jobs won’t be safe either. King isn’t going to be sentimental like the fans, even now he’s probably having doubts. I’m pretty sure the management would have been responsible for putting the recruitment team together too.

I was thinking on their part they’ve signed 4 year deals so would be expensive to sack.

He was carrying an injury at Barnsley wasn't he?

I am sure he will be in the mix real soon.

So 'random on sbt' wrong to bedwet last year, but right to this year?!

As for 'it was clear we had more'.

I know, I was one of the ones saying itat the time!

Clearly there's a difference this season, but there's no difference in the reaction, which is funny despite everything else that's going on.

Is that confirmed that MVE is weeks not months? Good news if so.

Regarding Kitching he'll get his chance too. It wasn't long ago we were thinking what is the point in the Binks signing, he's never going to play. Now he's starting and looking good.

Fadz looks in need of a rest to me.

Yeah you could see it last season. I'm not sure I can this season. I want them to give me some hope!

Think if you play MVE at RB and Sakamoto in front of him further forward you'd give teams a real problem. Would require a change in this dog shit system though so I don't expect to see it.

Strange, we've looked much better with Allen playing in the last two games. The upgrade type players we've bought haven't performed yet.

Yep, in fact in those 2 appearances Allen looks head and shoulders above the rest of the midfielders.

Binks has been comfortably the best of the back 3 the last few games. A low bar admittedly.

It’s just shit mate. When it comes to players I’m usually the optimist. I was backing Sheaf, Vik, even Baka for a long time. I like Simms. MvE, Lats, Dasilva are all decent. But I’m seriously worried we’ve spent £12-15m on crap or at least not better than what we let go on a free.

Yes, he wanted to leave and regardless of how the new signings have performed to date, it was a good fee.

I'm pinning my hopes on we've been here before with Robins and he's turned it round, he'll do it again.
It's all I've got.

Yes, that fee will be what the new recruitment team have to work with next summer.

Totally get that point of view Clint

but there’s nothing on the pitch that actually gives you hope that’s achievable

Bring back Badlan! At the moment I think I could tolerate him selling our team sheet to the opposition and would allow a minimum of 3 Kastaneer's for every quality player he brings in.

Wright getting a lot of stick for missing a 2 yarder, seems to me the ball came at him with a lot of pace from the goalie, just like the spot of ‘cockball’ off the bar which gave us the goal. You get lucky sometimes and sometimes not. I’ll stick my neck out and say Wright will be right and Simms similar.

Look at this time last year and you will realise that 8 games is never reflective of the final table.

Of course, but I think what most people are suggesting is that despite our poor start last season, you could see we were playing some decent stuff. I can't see that at the moment and neither can a lot of others!

We threw away a 2 goal lead at Milwall and then conceded the worst hat trick of all time at Hull.

Oh I'm not disputing the results. Just feel as though we were actually creating a decent number of chances and playing some okay stuff. Other than Leicester, haven't seen that so far.
