windermereROYAL Derby got special dispensation to bring in Jagielka and Baldock, why should we be any different with our injury woes?

John SmithSnowflake Royal We should not be trying to replace him with Cahill.
Why not? He almost single-handedly kept a dogshit Palace side in the division last season.

Aging, twilight of a declining career, used to big wages and we already have Morrison, McIntyre, Holmes and Dorsett plus more academy lads.

Hound Zonal marking is one of those hobnob cliches which comes up regularly as a ‘ditch this and we’ll be better’. Along with ‘shouldn’t play out from the back’ and ‘need speedy winger’.
Zonal is fine if people do their jobs properly. They didn’t on Tuesday and you changing the system doesn’t change that. From what I saw; we gave them far too much space and didn’t attack the ball/go with runners. Zonal worked well for us last year where we were generally solid from set pieces
Think McIntyre and Puscas were both on Martin for their first goal when he flicked on and just let him win a free header anyway.

We can bring in players, we just aren't doing so.

Not sure bringing in Baldock is a help or not

Combined quite well with Puscas in George's first season iirc.
Both play better in a pair.
Of course, I'm sure he couldn't get out of our club quicker.

Once upon a time . Am I alone in having the feeling that it’s the supporters who care while the club don’t give a damn . Did nobody tell them there is a transfer window that’s been going on for weeks , and although they have been restricted , why , when the the restrictions were eased weren’t they poised to fill the gaps, or had nobody told them we didn’t have a LB , and that we had lost a main striker for the season . The words piss up and brewery come to mind !
While I’m in the mood , I’ll carry on . I see supporters here saying we should play 3,4.2,1 or 5,2,3,1 , or goodness knows what numbers . Numbers do not have quality , ———— players do ! It’s the quality of the players that matter , not the numbers ! Play whatever numbers you like , there’s plenty to chose from , we won’t stay up if we don’t have players with the quality to play in this league , and again I will say that we need to improve, and I don’t see this quality coming from the academy yet .

tidus_mi2 Definitely looking like a relegation scrap now, need a good performance against Huddersfield to make me more confident about our chances.

blythspartan Early days but we look a total mess. Not a difficult start on paper and we were totally outplayed by Coventry today.
I like the manager and I feel sorry for him but for where we’re right now he’s not the right man for the job.
