He's softer than a marshmallow and certainly wouldn't do any pressing. Needs to go in January if an offer comes in. Will probably stick around to go out of contract.

Why don't the idiots shut off the background mics? Are they even aware nobody is listening to this rubbish transmission?

Commentary on website is only background noise. The pathetic amateurs can't even get their microphones to work. Absolute joke of a club!

The ball just bounces off him.Suspect he just got lucky in the first few games and now we're seeing the actual player.

Spot on. Baseless euphoria will disappear faster than snow on a cooker before the end of this month.

Buckley is utterly clueless in possession and brainless when trying to retrieve it.

Buckley and Pickering belong to L1. Worrying that both the strikers (Ohashi and Gueye) couldn't trap a bag of cement. Nothing sticks. Central defence is sooo ponderous and Carter looks even worse than Brittain as a defensive full back. Pears kicking is appalling.

On a level with Bristol City away last season.

Bottom 6 by Xmas.

Buckley was utter shite. Couldn't pass water.

Doubt that Potter would fancy managing a team that's nailed on for relegation. He's already turned down better jobs than Southampton.

The last two managers who walked out to join Stoke - Alex Neil and Schumacher - both got sacked after less than a year there. Gary Rowett was similarly treated. It's a managerial graveyard.

It was only ever going to be a loan.

There wouldn't be any takers for JRC certainly not in the Championship and clubs in L1 rarely pay significant transfer fees. His history of injuries and lack of pace would also count against him. He's simply not a Championship player.

Difficult to see any Championship standard players in this squad. Maybe Tronstad and Carter. Most of the remainder would be unlikely to make it into any other teams in this league. Venkys are building a squad for League 1.

If this standard of performance is repeated in the Championship it's going to be the Season from Hell. Nothing much in this squad to suggest that it won't be.

He's certainly not got the pace to play in a wide position. He's simply not Championship standard.

Clueless and lifeless, Looked every inch a League 1 outfit. No Szmodics to bail them out any longer. Can expect much more of this dismal fare,

At times he looks like a Sunday morning league player after a night on the lash.

What is he like defensively? From those clips he looks more like a winger than a left back.

Every deal is hard for the twats that own /manage the club. When it takes 2monrhs to do a deal witb 37 year old who misses preseason as a result.

Wharton had a lot of collateral damage to the knee. Likely to take much longer.

Another calf injury!! His calves are made of tissue paper. Best business of the summer getting £15m. even if it does just disappear into the Venkys Black Hole.

Has Waggott ever managed to get a player to extend his contract? We know how many valuable players were allowed to slide out of contract the last time he had responsibility for contractual negotiations. It's no surprise that no player would sign a contract put in front of them by that slippery lardarse. Now it's a case of rinse and repeat as the club is set to lose both Hyam and Dolan for nothing at the end of the season.

You're an optimistic if you think the incomings would be even that good.
