He’s been quite poor recently hasn’t he?

Not paid much attention tbh

That the universe where we didn’t hire Benitez? Can we move there?

The universe where Moshiri never made a footballing decision.

Ah what a dream, Penfold actually being competent

The window is going well - three games in and Rondon and Davies are starting.

In an "attack" with Iwobi, Gray, and Gordon.

Woeful.

Davies, Iwobi, Gray, Rondon - that is 100% going down. A disgrace. There isn’t a Norwich or Burnley in the league this year.

This is a huge, huge last week of the transfer window.

Iwobi’s been one of our best performing players for a while now

One glance around our dressing room tells you that's no recommendation.

Did we lose ?

Our dignity and standards, yes, turning out a first team in that state.

He wouldn’t get a game in a centre midfield two in any team trying to get in the top ten of this league. It’s a sad indictment of the rest of them and the state we’re in.

Yes yes yes.

I prefer Goncalo. To me he is just a tier prospect we rarely attract and would likely not have any chance of getting a year from now. But if that price for Gomez is what it is, its fine value for a back-up with potential to kick on and appreciate and him expand too a starter. I just think we should be buying with the idea of having a new target man from either continued DCL injuries or the likelihood of DCL being sold in the not so distant future.

That said just broadly more optimistic of Thelwell approaching the end of the window, maybe with not taking the Gordon deal withstanding (although that isnt finished). That said the incomings rumored the last three or so days seem sensible transfers. Moving off of Dele is huge to offering flexibility. It should be an interesting close to the window.

Dave take the anti Rangers blinkers off for once, we’ve never been or never will be linked with him

Tick tock...

I mean he's deffo going somewhere.

That’s the plan, that’s what we are supposed to transition to but our wingbacks aren’t good enough on the ball

I'd agree that the plan hasn't worked thus far, but I disagree with your analysis of the reasons for failure. Patterson has been strong so far and between the two of them Mykolenko and Vinagre seem good enough on the left.

The issue is that our CMs really, really struggle in a two. They can't move the ball forward in possession and they get bypassed when the oppo has the ball - hence the wingbacks drop really deep and create a back 5, which is a horrible starting point for any attacking movement because of the limited options to pass forward. It's no surprise we have invited pressure over long periods in the first couple games.

Still not lost yet !
