Ive never understood why people think that anyone has to excuse themselves should they not buy a ticket for a football game.

They really didnt. Venkys did long before that. When they bought the club.

After what has happened since, you would think that the penny would drop that it wasnt Mowbray or even Waggott who finished us off as a normal club.

There is no excuse regarding the centre backs. We knew how injury prone they are yet didnt bother to replace Hyam anyway. Toth, Tronstad and Cantwell are unfortunate, Kargbo is no loss. The squad and starting 11 shouldnt look so weak still.

Its not another Paul Downing we need. Its not a young defender who had been nowhere near our first team that we need to recall. We need a couple of centre backs of the quality to come straight into the starting 11. We massively miss Hyam and Batth. We knew we would. Gestede has filled the squad full of players that are absolutely woeful from random leagues. De Neve, Henriksson, Gueye, Kargbo, Tavares etc. Even the more domestic ones, Gardner Hickman struggled for game time in League 1, it shows, McLoughlin couldnt nail down a regular centre back spot when at Hull, it shows. Miller is so poor on the ball. Its frightening that these players have been signed to kick start a supposed overhaul of the squad. Cheap, sub par crap.

That team that finished the game was an absolute embarassment. Only Alebiosu would get in any other Championship side. Many others would struggle to get into a League 1 side.

One v Ipswich where the yellow caed he got stood.

If he wants more fans to come he needs to have a word with those above him.

Doncaster are 19th in League 1 and have conceded quite a lot of goals. He may have done well (unsure if a lot are just assuming he has done well or if he genuinely is) but he was nowhere near the first team when he left and no way should he be our main defensive reinforcement to essentially replace Hyam. As another body on top of a new signing, by all means.

I saw some comments on social media at the weekend from Boro fans suggesting that Brittain is really doing well for them.

I dont see why Cantwell wouldnt fit into this current system. He was described as an "enigma" by ParsonBlue but I actually think hes far more hard working than I and seemingly others had portrayed him before he joined. I also find it strange to see a few speaking as if he is a spare part almost. It is crucial that we keep him, hes still a very important player.

We really cannot afford for Tronstad to be injured.

Chelsea got Ballack who was also a similar type of player but again, it The idea of playing your best 11 players regardless of balance is a crazy one. England's team would be interesting going into the summer as it would mean Bellingham, Foden, Palmer, Eze, Saka and Kane all starting. We tried to fit a number of those in together under Carsley. The team was massively imbalanced and we lost to Greece.

Just playing your best 11 players is not the best strategy, its been the sort of motto that has held England and other teams back over the years. Had Mourinho signed Gerrard to play with Lampard, they would have had Makelele behind them providing the balance. Beckham was very hard working so that role would have suited him. King could be changed to Sol Campbell.

Are they in the Championship now?
