  1. Sick of this club. Cheap and cheerful players all over the pitch. Toth is absolutely dreadful.
  2. The next manager will be cheap and cheerful, and someone who is willing to toe the line and work under huge restrictions. That won't therefore be anyone of any credibility.
  3. His last game in charge today. I wish him well. I don't blame him at all for leaving. If us fans didn't have the club firmly soaked in our hearts then we'd leave too! As I've said many times on this forum, not many of us are fooled by our current position. The fundamentals are as weak as anyone in the league and we are headed for league one soon.
  4. We're a shambles of a club so Eustace will leave sooner or later. He probably will join Derby which says everything about the current state of the club.
  5. It's very clear where the problems lie - our attack is toothless. A consequence of a chronic lack of investment in the forward areas over many years. It goes without saying Hedges and Dolan are playing a league above their level. Gueye and Ohashi are handfuls but will never be prolific goalscorers, and Weimann is a good sub but not good enough to start. Duberry and Cantwell are talented players but are not suited to a defensive style of football. Kargbo did look direct and pacy in the few minutes he had yesterday. Someone who at least tries to take on defenders is exactly what we need so that was promising. Dennis could be the answer to our problems but, if he does well, he will move onto better things in the summer and we are back to square one. Pears has done OK this season but is still a very poor GK imo. He's got a very good defence in front of him this season and a well drilled side which is why he's not made as many howlers, but he's an accident waiting to happen every game. Despite being 5th in the league, I look at the bigger picture of where we are as a club right now and we're in a very poor place. No assets, ageing squad, absent owners, players coming out of contract in the summer, and no genuine attacking talent in the squad. Many of us can see that if we continue on this trajectory then we will be playing in league one in the next couple of seasons. Some may say that's ridiculous as we're currently 5th in the league, but the reality is very different once Eustace moves onto better things.
  6. If you don't invest in the transfer market then this is what you get. A very poor squad of players who are now getting very poor results. Not a chance we'll be anywhere near top 6 come the end of the season. Eustace is a top, top manager for getting this squad where it is.
  7. Get some proper attackers on who can actually play football. Kargbo, Cantell, ACD on. Please never start Hedges again. Absolutely woeful.
  8. Hedges, Dolan, Buckley, and Weimann are not good enough. Hedges in particular is playing way above his level. Lge 1 player.
  9. I'd just about say our window was passable in the end with the addition of Dennis yesterday. And we added some pace to the team with Kargbo, LB cover, and additional championship experience in Woodrow. I guess that ticks all the boxes of what we needed at the beginning of the window. Look around at our competitors for the play off and they've blown us out water again. In fact, pretty much every club spent more than us. We just can't compete financially in this league under these owners. The positive news is that something has to give at some point. Venkys don't want to put anymore money in and we have no assets left to sell. There's only so long the Wharton and Sammie money can keep the club going. Pretty much all of our signings are oldies on short contracts and loan deals. We also don't seem to be handing out new contracts either.
  10. Both deals done apparently from those that live near Brockhall. Announcements very shortly.
  11. If those two deals get done (IF!) then Rudy has just about pulled it out of the bag. Dennis is a very good signing and the success or failure of this window was going to come down to the striker signing. Woodrow is not great and it would have been abysmal if he was our main signing, but he's better than Hedges who he'll displace. Never seen Kargbo play but he has to be better than Dolan. An attacking line up of Dennis, Woodrow, Cantwell and Kargbo is far > than Gueye, Hedges, Cantwell, and Dolan.
  12. Rumours on twitter we are signing Dennis AND Woodrow. Obviously, only Twitter rumours but we shall see what the next few hours bring
  13. Dennis could be a game changer for us if we can get this deal done.
