A game of fractions

Villa, ****ing hell

No one has a gun to your head with all this you know, you don't have to do it

We have the most handsomely paid squad in the league with a tonne of attacking talent and we choose to play this timid, meek football. Can't remember the last time the club felt like it had a set of bollocks apart from pre-Christmas under Maresca

Skipp is one of the most expensive transfers in the history of the club and has been complicit in our drop to the club's lowest ever league position, he absolutely would make a list of 100 worst signings, doesn't matter if you've been a fan since 2000 or 1900

Why do we always need "3 to 4 more players" in the last throes of the window every ****ing season

That Neil Lal link sounds like a car crash waiting to happen, so that's what we'll end up with

Just get rid of them, cut your losses, ****ing braindead football club

He knows which players have consistently let the club down, you only have to listen to fan reaction for the most part - to pick them, them be ****ing ponging, and then say "honest conversations are needed" like there was no indication that this would happen is numbing my mind

In 19/20 I don't think we even needed that — we were pretty light at centre half and had really encouraging and strong links to Tapsoba (who that window went to Germany and has since gone on to play the best part of 300 games for Leverkusen), instead we signed Ryan Bennett on loan.

McCarron's at the wheel 😮‍💨👨🏻‍🍳

We spent a lot of money in the summers of 2016, 2021 and 2024 to make the squad worse Macia has been the only person with a hand in transfers since Walsh left who seemed to have any semblance of competency and strategy, more hits than misses under him (although the misses were *bad*)

And Low played in the division above and didn't cost 7 figures. Pandering to these shit managers and giving them signings the next manager won't want after the inevitable sacking is mind numbing

It feels like we've had absolute tap-ins two summers in a row and made completely the wrong choices too. Rohl last summer, Challinor this.

No neck, just like the owner, looks like Dr Zoidberg

Absolutely incredible to think we had Dewsbury-Hall in the npower really At least we replaced him with Oliver Skipp, a good honest pro

What

Mate, he's ****ing terrible. Skipp being honking as well doesn't make this bloke any better. I'd also say Skipp and Thomas have come in for as much (if not more) slander, he's hardly being singled out and scape goated, he's just shit like 4 or 5 other players.

Poll needs redoing once the window has closed really but I don't trust us to do half the business we need to by the time it SLAMS SHUT.

McFarlane was injured in pre season and I don't think he's fully up to speed yet. Weird we haven't seen him get *any* minutes but I'd expect him to play against Ipswich.

This moron needs to realise that anything other than promotion here and he is finished as a manager at any level above this. Stop talking about ****ing humility and learning and put together a side that doesn't contrive to have negative xG every game you daft tit.

I doubt his commitment and effort when he covers about 4 square metres a game tbh.

Thank God we protected the asset with that contract

Would have been too funny if he'd bagged that, was an obvious miss
