They’ll probably have been hungover from transfer deadline day....

He was fine at centre half, rubbish at left back. It’s not complicated. You really don’t need to keep repeating yourself re your view of him or Joe Grayson. Everyone heard you the first time. ?

Thought he was on about today only tbh. (I know the lad well, it’s fine).

Defender (singular). ?

Quite an about turn, they were singing his name when we played them at the end of last season...

I know it’s transfer deadline day, but, have you been drinking?

That header he notched away at Donny is one of my favourite memories as a Rover. I will never forget it.

Welcome to the dark side, what's your poison?

Probably not, but he finished last season at a team that ended up in the top 6, so he’s obviously decent. We still need a centre half though!

I really hope that the people suggesting we play Downing at left back also criticise Mowbray for playing people out of position.... Being real though, I’d rather we just did the unthinkable and didn’t play players out of position!

Nah, but co-incidentally, I already had an hour of listening to The Smiths in a dark room on my own pencilled in for then....

Ever so slightly over 24 hours to get some defenders signed up. AS IT STANDS, it looks as though we have prioritised spending on a luxury attacker and not defenders that we sorely needed more! This has been a disappointing window SO FAR for the reasons noted above, but believe me, I want nothing more than to be celebrating the reverse of the above this time tomorrow!!

Best of luck to the lad, he’s inferior to every other central midfielder we have. I hope they have cushions on the bench for him to get comfortable. (That’s not to say I don’t respect the job he did for us in league one, I really do, but there’s no room for sentiment in football).

To be fair, conceding as many goals as we did last season isn’t a joke, so people are giving their opinion on who they think we should sign on an Internet forum. Whatever next?

69 goals conceded. ’Defenders are coming’.

To be fair, playing with Bell at the back is just like playing with 3 at the back anyway. Only with 4 on the field...

I think a lot are over complicating things so they can have a swipe at other posters. To clarify- it’s not about one game, it’s about the repeated failure to address our terrible defence. Our squad going forward in theory is very strong, but we barely had any shots on target on Saturday, so that’s obviously something that needs to improve. Bennett needs to stop playing at right back. He’s fine as a squad filler, but not starting games any more. 2 days to go to rectify the situation.

Let's be honest, we need to sign some defenders by Thursday. If we don't, it's going to be a really long season. 'Defenders are coming'. 'Defensively, we're fine'. We aren't though, are we? It's so blindingly obvious that we need defenders, the back four we started on Saturday was a disgrace. 3 days to go......

I don’t really want him sacked, but he’s got four days to sign more defenders. Mulgrew is toast and Bennett needs to stop being selected at right back. Lenihan really needs to stop with those long diagonal balls. When he clipped one over Bell’s head in injury time, I cleared off. It’s so frustrating, as we all know the defence is awful and so does the manager and yet he still doesn’t help himself with team selections. Joe Rothwell not starting again was unbelievable. What more does he have to do?

Apparently not! Anyway, I’m off for an extended break. This causes me much more stress than my 9-5 and I don’t get paid for it. Thanks for the last 9 years everyone.

‘so defensively we’re fine’ Tony, 69 goals against last season says otherwise. I thought defenders were coming? Or is this another thing the manager says that we shouldn’t pay attention to?

Fulham have a great squad, but an inexperienced manager. History tells us these arrangements don’t usually result in immediate success.

Not really, Nyambe is better than Bennett at full back regardless, so should be starting there.

Nyambe is a full back and Bennett isn’t, therefore Nyambe should be starting there. We agree on Mulgrew, so you could have saved yourself such a long post...

Mulgrew and Bennett actually. Because Bennett isn’t a full back and Mulgrew isn’t good enough?
