This theory that he had money but wouldn’t spend it, just doesn’t work for me. He must be the first football manager in history not to lap up all of his budget!

Very short memory. Fulham at home?

That batting collapse was classic England. McCullum really has his work cut out getting that out of their mindsets.

So did the entire squad that season. Funny, as you’re quick to talk about people giving Buckley a free pass, but you’ve done that with the rest of the squad here?

You’ll have to tell the EFL then, as we ended up with 3 points for that match.

I do get a bit frustrated with people saying fans are over reacting. All I can see is Rovers fans being angry and frustrated that we played badly…. Saying Broughton is a dud is probably the only OTT reaction so far for me….

Does that not count then? With the amount of eye rolling you do, I’m amazed your eyes don’t get stuck there…

Pea roller like this one, you mean? (skip to 39 seconds).

You say that as though it’s the first time you’ve brought it up…..

Shame I’ve got to do this from time to time, but there has been some baiting in the last few pages and it ends here. Any more and there will be bans. I know we are all angry and frustrated that we are 3-0 down at a team we should be beating and managed by Paul Ince, but we also need to follow the rules please. Thanks.

Surely JDT can’t be in charge of a team losing to one being managed by Paul Ince? Long way to go, we need to step it up though, been a poor start for me.

Nobody is being dismissive of him, but yet you said he ‘was a very good player’. Arguably when a player recovering from two successive ACL injuries needs the most support, he’s not getting it from you!

It’s a debt that’s their fault and they can sort. If we can’t reinvest money from player sales into the first team, we go one way and it isn’t up….

It should be on iFollow, last night’s other championship games were.

It fundamentally doesn’t matter though, does it? We didn’t sign them and still need more defenders….

I’ll be honest, I was as skeptical as anyone re the XG stat (and still am tbf)- but fair play to Joe for this explanation. It certainly made things more understandable for me!

Obviously yeah, but, with this injury record, I’d be a lot more comfortable if we had more bodies available to replace him at short notice, if or when he picks up his next knock….

Ayala has been pretty injury prone and we are relying on him maybe?

Is this actually agreed though? Where have you seen this? Him being on the bench for Liverpool and then having numerous injuries in his position suggests not….

Where’s this talk of Mowbray having £5 Mil of unused budget in January come from? He must be the first manager in history to turn down transfer funds to improve his side! Good grief.

I’m all for treating people equally, trying to do better and be more inclusive, but this was so obviously just a turn of phrase. Professional men’s football that he has been involved in and has been a pundit on for years, only involves men….

If you’re going to overplay a song to death, make sure it’s a really good one. Sweet Caroline (for me) most definitely doesn’t fit this description.

Also, I think it’s possible to want us to supplement our strong start with additional players quickly to alleviate the current injury situation without panicking….

Unreal start, granted, but no prizes are given out in August. The injury list dictates the need to be active in the transfer market quickly.

He’s only 20 years old, you probably need to lay off him a bit. With that being said, he certainly wasn’t at his best today.
