Alan Nixon is unreliable right?

Including Southampton. Especially Southampton knowing the way we operate.

Bit of a ridiculous statement, you can give some managers all the tools but still cant get the results. Any manager with two trebles at two different clubs and multiple 100 point seasons is one of the best ever, end of.

People genuinely try to argue that the only reason we won was because tge big teams weren't good

Skipp for £25mil is genuinely worse value for money than the Maguire and Anthony transfers. Our fans still dont fully understand how poorly run we are.

Excelsior Rotterdam have an excellent young team. I think they have quite a few players that would improve us. Cedric Hatenboer - DM Casper Widell - Centreback, reminds me of Van Hecke at Brighton Arthur Zagre - Left back

Looks good but if we are going to keep playing out from the back surely we want centre backs who are more comfortable on the ball. We cant keep bringing in managers who want that playstyle then not buying the right type of player for that system.

A defensive coach isnt going to do much when the centre backs we have available arent good enough.

Mcateer shouldnt be the benchmark for players we bring in.

The French Rodri. If we could sign a DM of this quality it would transform our team.

Skipp belongs at this level in what way? If we go down i dont see any PL team trying to pick him up apart from Spurs for their homegrown quota. If by this level you mean PL relegation fodder then i agree but if you want to stay in this league then Skipp is in no way good enough as a starter currently.

Justin was a good transfer, injuries have just knocked him down a couple levels but there's another world where we sell him for £30-£40mil to a big six 6 club if he stayed fit.

Even if we win we are still not out of the woods. Ipswich are only two points behind us.

Not defending Hamza but Skipp was far worse today. At least Choudhury has the excuse of not playing first team football in a while, Skipp has no excuses.

Soumare was seen as a bad value signing for £20 mil. This lad is not even good enough as a backup for Soumare and we signed him for the same amount.

Let's put the Skipp transfer into context: We signed Soumare in 2021 for £20mil and since then he's been seen as poor transfer business. Some of the worst we have done in recent memory. We have signed Skipp this summer for £20mil and he's not even at the level to be a backup for Soumare.

At least this game has confirmed that we need a midfielder in January (and hopefully anyone involved in the Skipp transfer is gone by then as well).

I feel sorry for Hamza for playing with Skipp as well. Both are as bad as each other.

Cant be underwhelming when you dont expect anything in the first place. Was never going to be a PL level player for us.

We gave Spurs £20mil for a player who is at the same level as Hamzah Choudhury. Absolutely honking transfer.

Skipp and Choudhury are not PL level.

Probably but they seem to not be using him in youth games in case an injury comes up and he's needed in the first team.

He's not been playing for the U21s. He's been in limbo between our youth team and the first team and has been playing in neither games. The club clearly consider him to be too good for youth football though.

Have we already forgotten that we got knocked out in the group stages and round of 32 when we were in the Europa League? Even with one of our best ever squads we weren't able to put together a decent run against the Europa League 'minnows'.

He created a lot of chances for himself with his movement and dribbling with us. His finishing was just shocking but now he's clearly remembered how to put the ball in the net.
