We are signing players from abroad because they tend to be cheaper than the inflated UK market. Ideally we’d have had LOB in midfield and a more proven championship CF (McBurnie may not be the answer but just as an example) but that’s not where we are at financially. Obviously bringing in...

Totally, new players coming in, some from a different country, some not fully fit, us still needing new (some of them very important) players. All of that and at a bogey ground like Boro (one non behind close doors league win since the 1960s) means anyone expecting us to hit the ground running...

Or am I wrong and we should have been expecting to win today?

Isn’t this the first or 2nd window since the new regime came in and the players that were signed that are problematic were before that and take time to shift. Not sure how long but it hasn’t been very long so far. Widell not playing was probably due to the fact that Sheehan didn’t want to blood...

As we are still trying to bring players in then I would say no? Whether bringing in players in the final weeks of the window that will be integral to us is ideal is another question, still catching up from Watson and the previous Americans

Thanks! Emotions running high too! I get it 🙂

Ok but statements like “enough with this” are quite sweeping, whether you meant it to sound like that I doubt. Agree we need to upgrade as striker but VIP as a 2nd choice isn’t bad, he can’t press which is a problem I’d say.

Inoussa didn’t start, missed part of pre season, trying to integrate, EOM missed part of pre season, no striker as VIP wasn’t fit enough to start, Cullen isn’t a 9. Yes ideally a striker would have come in by now, lack of finances probably makes this harder. All of the above to me means it’s...

Enough with this? So your opinion is fact is it? We have not played to VIP’s strengths from the off unless you think we have? Added to that the acclimatisation point. Not saying he should be our first choice and hoping we can upgrade when we do bring someone in but to call a player a waste of...

First day of the season, squad not complete, injury problems and at a ground we usually struggle at. Predictable defeat, we ideally would have created more and ideally the squad would be complete but almost all non elite clubs are still trying to recruit and our low income means we struggle to...

Don’t know how it can be concluded VIP is a waste of time with virtually zero service. Ok he wasn’t great last season but again service wasn’t great and a lot of players don’t hit the ground running when moving to a new league and a new country and often need a season to acclimatise.
