Desperation and depth required. I'm not all that arsed about this one in the end. What's more worrying is if you take a look back at the summer transfer rumours and the players we were linked with actually buying and seeing what they've done since. It's not inspiring confidence ahead of this window I tell ya.

Maybe, but it also means you have total trust in Martis judgement on which player to choose. Yet people are constantly saying he hasn't got a clue. Like I say I'm not defending him, but he's barely been a cameo performer for us. We have had by far worse signings. And in terms of worse players, again it's a bit difficult to put him in that category given the shit we've had and the minutes he's played.

Pretty much all the debate will have come from the fact that the problem you're pointing out has only actually become apparent towards the end of the year. We've conceded 22 of the 34 goals against us since November. So we've conceded nearly twice as many goals in the last 12 games as we had in the first 12. Before that we were struggling to score or create chances. It seems he's overcorrected that so we score some more now but concede way more too. We've scored 19 goals since November, compared to 15. That's probably negligible. I think most people think he's getting it wrong at both ends to be fair.

Not wishing to defend him (although if you were a defender it would be a piece of piss) but he's only played 300 minutes. I don't think he's had enough of a crack at it to be in our worst ever bracket. Player nor signing.

I wonder if we somehow get a win out of this in terms of getting something back for him going back early or it was just mutual.

Currently 7 goals and 2 assists in 13 games for top of the table Lens. If it wasn't for the disaster of last season, fans would be gagging for him.

He just needs a run in the side. Just not our side.

Straight from England comes the new signing for the Hydro-rays, Julián Carranza. Here are all the details So in short, No I can't. But I can google translate the headline and that's enough for me!

Seems Bournemouth are taking Nwaneri on loan from Arsenal. That would pretty much end any interest in Abdul you'd imagine.

That's ultimately only answered by how good those signings turn out to be. Forgetting that aspect, I'd be pretty pleasantly surprised if we got £30mill for him. I really like him but I think as things stand there's too much needs doing to this squad to turn that kind of money down.

And Jordan, if you're reading, same to you too mate.

Well this seems to be the paradox doesn't it? The young lads from the academy get shit for not being good enough, and then somebody from the u21s but not from the academy gets shit for not being good enough. But it seems he's not granted any leeway as a developing player or needing gametime by those that preach for it for the academy lads.

We wouldn't be going into a Prem season with this squad though. Look at Sunderland. Of course we could be just as shit but I don't get this idea that we go up and we're playing the same players we are this season. We wouldn't be able to in a lot of instances anyway because we'll be letting a number of them go out of contract.

Yes. I don't think anybody does say he's an academy graduate do they? Probably say he's youth cos he's an u21. But that also seems to be why he's disliked, because he didn't come through the academy.

He joined them in 2022, so you'd imagine it's a 4 or 5 year contract, so either the coming summer or the following.

Don't think there's any chance in hell we get Acheampong from Chelsea. If we were going that ambitious we might as well ask about George who has played even less minutes and could guarantee himself a go up front as he apparently wants out. But realistically there's going to be suitors for these players at a higher level than us.

Thanks to Harrogate losing Newport have moved off the bottom on GD. And the table at the bottom is bunching up a bit, they're only a point off safety now and the bottom 5 are all within just 2 points of eachother. I reckon he'll want to stay and see if he can help them stay up now.

I get the disappointment in not seeing more of Monga, but Silko shouldn't be the one getting shit for it.

People need to stop relentlessly shitting on him.

Well, well...

Aaaand we're back...

Brilliant from Fatty.

They've just conceded, so he might just cut his losses. Do Ryanair fly from Morocco?

Is he going to get a plane at half time from Morocco?
