Hmm yeh that wouldn't be a good enough window I'm afraid. O'Brien is a cracking addition for a promotion push. Thomas could also provide good ammunition to the right man up top. But without that right man up top, the jigsaw is seriously incomplete. We can make all the excuses we like, and debate whether it's Venkys or GB's fault, but nobody is convincing me there isn't a single striker out there, who could improve our starting XI, that the club (as an overall entity, owners included) could have signed if it had enough ambition to really act on this position we find ourselves in. And two Jan windows running too, would be a real piss take.

Unfortunately, it had.

Again, we haven't heard official news on Markanday unless I'm mistaken. Thomas replaces him though if that happens. Markanday plays wide. Our forward line options, for the three, are: Brereton, Gallagher, Vale, Dolan, Hedges, Thomas. Dack has also been known to play there, though it's not how I prefer he's used. I sense you're talking about the tip of the spear, but again, Markanday doesn't play there for us. Hell he barely plays at all. But yes, we need another tip of the spear player. Whether or not Markanday goes doesn't come into that equation for me.

Would have thought someone would have wanted to buy him though. Like say, Atletico Madrid.

It's about 5am over there. So either went to bed very early or very late.

Not as far as I'm aware. Hirst, a non-entity is gone, sure. Do you mean Markanday? Not confirmed yet as far as I've heard, and has been played wide like Thomas, so already replaced. Not to say we don't need a forward, we do.

You didn't try a VPN?

I try my best! I actually won money tonight as I put a bet on the draw, which technically it was 😉 At least, the way the bookies measure it.

Chill out for now. We don't know if deals have been concluded and not announced. Furthermore, we only need to have got the paperwork in to say we are working on it.

Nah you got the score wrong, you're shit 😂😉

Why have Spurs released a player good enough for Atletico to be interested in? I thought Daniel Levy was a very shrewd operator..

Although a few weeks ago, I'd have laughed at anybody saying I'd be considering agreeing with this statement... whilst I'm not sure I actually would start him, Kaminski's been poor lately and Pears hasn't. Form is a huge part of football. It's worth a thought at least. But on the flipside if he plays and turns in a Wigan of last year performance against Wigan this year, I'll be fuming and give the manager pelters 🤣

That's generous of him, I hope she consents though.

That joke will still be doing the rounds on here 20 years from now, to the intense confusion of the new generation.

Less than.

'9:52pm Good play between Brereton and Dolan to work space for Szmodics whose cross is turned into his own net by Trusty (0-1)' LT description of the goal. For those who can't master a VPN to listen.

Phillips being spoken to by JDT on the touchline, maybe about to come on.

The universe has processed your feedback. 1-0 Rovers!

I can see why Dack is coming off, his proneness to injury playing two full matches in a few days plus extra time will be the reason. But I'm worried about the prospect of penalties without him.

Sounds like Khadra's pace is causing us problems.

You know you just signed up to give us all updates on his progress, right?

Well yes, that's how his name is put together.

Since I said this, we seem to have reversed gears. Probably just to spite me.

Sounds like this is our good half, meaning we have about 25 minutes to score.

Isn't that what we've been fed a load of, in regards to the club's ambitions?
