Sorry, the point I was trying to make is that King seems to be making gradual changes that may improve the side. The problem for me is that he seems to believe he is just filling in while the senior management recruit a new owner. P ossinly if he were told that he has the job until the end of the season then we may see more drastic changes. At the moment he seems to be in a "don't rock the boat too much mode".

Anything else?

Aribo. The club don't realise that he can't play and he gets sent off on 2 mins when the Southampton bench tell the ref.

It's like they are trying to play in a comitted fashion, but don't know how. They're confidence is shot and they are panicking. Some of them don't want to be here, but are realising that because of their performances no one else will want them.

To be honest this is what frustrates me about our recruitment, occasionally we can get it right, but so often we pay too much for dross and players who are no longer or never were good enough.

Agreed, but Aribo can't play in the two games against Southampton.

Problem!

This is the problem isn't it? We fans have been so damaged by the clubs previous performance that we look at this window and expect the worst. It might be that we have signed a replacement for Wes Morgan, a hard-working centrla midfielder, a young player who will be a standout in the Championship and a winger turned striker who scores a dozen. Instead we expect a permanent sicknote, a worse Soumare clone, an over-hyped youngster and a player who will never play a senior minute! I suspect the reality will be somewhere in the middle but more towards the latter!

There was a similarity with Ayew, the way he fell over after scoring the 4th. Although, obviousky Ayew would have fallen over instead of scoring the 4th... or the 1st, 2nd, 3rd or 5th.

It seems to me there was no attempt to improve the squad this window, it was just one in, one out for players who have left or who are injured for a while: - Lascalles for Faes Aribo for Soumare Mukasa for James Richards for Ramsey Our management clearly think the squad is good enough!

Wow, that much?

They probably assumed the window slams shut at 11pm!

30 year old left winger who plays in League 2, sounds like just what we need!

Compare the characters on that pitch to what we have now, it's heartbreaking. That lot would have run through walls for Pearson. now they can hardly break into a walk for the manager.

I remember thinking exactly this when Peter Taylor came in.

Millwall who are pushing for a playoff place? You wouldd have to ask the same question again, why would he want to come here? Previously when we were in the Championship you could have said because we had higher potential and a better budget. That is no longer true. We are a less appealing club than Millwall!!

I wonder if Winks was out because he told Cifuentes he was sh*t. He might actually play for another manager.

78 years old, currently advising Torquay!

There won't be any, but there never was going to be!

They'll dump it on Andy King because he's here and they won't have to pay someone else to do the same job. I feel sorry for him if it happens. You know he won't want to turn it down even if he should.

...but would he go for us?

How many of that Southampton defense did we sign? Remind me.

Would this bunch of players respect or even fear King? The younger players might, but they are not the problem. Is King the sort of person who can motivate them?
