Nothing against Lati or BTA but we really need to strengthen the midfield. Neither are starters and with three of our best player out into next month I just feel we could slowly drop closer to the bottom three. The way we’re overplaying Milan I do worry he could get a serious knock that risks...

So to recap we still haven’t signed anyone, Doug is bored of us and already looking to move us on. What a season

When’s lati’s move being announced? Thought we might have heard by now especially as he didn’t play Saturday.

So as things stand we look to be selling Lati and bringing in Rak Sakyi on loan. Still no RB cover or rotation for Milan. One CB down and covering Sheaf injury with a young unproven player. Appreciate there maybe other things going on in the background but we look dangerously short of numbers...

Have you heard what Doug’s take on it all is? Is Frank telling him the squads whack and how does Austin explain it all?

This is the problem the teams creating now. With Robins even when we were struggling people believed he could turn it around. Lampard has come in and the results and performances are as bad as ever. Don’t blame Frank as the squad is shit; even with Hadji who doesn’t exactly show work rate I...

Any of the itk’s got any insight into what’s going on behind the scenes? Are we broke or have Doug and frank just accepted the squad is whack and it needs ripping up and starting again?

If he goes who do we think we’re getting? Surprised we never went for Kyprianou from Posh in the summer in anticipation of Sheaf going. Mind you we know how Doug’s last negotiation with Darragh went.

Doubling our money in just over 12 months you can see the logic from an accounting point of view but it’s the last bit of personality in the team gone. The players look miserable; with Milan off Sheaf and Hadji will also want out asap. Then there’s Simms who you’d have to think also wants out...

Bit torn on selling the better players now as still not convinced we couldn’t be dragged back into the relegation battle. That said I don’t see the current group as good enough for promotion. If Sheaf / MVE want out or we have a decent offer in January for them is it worth taking the dough and...

What’s gone on with Simms? With Hadji out I’d be starting him and bring Bassett off the bench to stretch tired legs.

Not a fan of King but he’s done what he’s done now. Think Lampards a decent bloke with good experience in the game but the problems with this squad are clear to all. Question for me is do we throw big money at it in January? Or try and stay calm and look to get an experienced CB and some right...

I think we stay up but it won’t be pretty with this bunch of players. I thought we’d see some reaction with the new boss in but it was flat. On paper the squad should suit 4-3-3 / 4-2-3-1 but we leak goals. We lack experience and grit in defence and the engine room of midfield. I’m sure Frank...

Don’t think Lampard's that bad an option but hard to be enthused partly because it looks like it was already planned. If true the whole scenario looks staged managed. Just hope they get on and announce it now. Give him the week to work with the players leading into what will be a tough game.

I’ll be disappointed if we don’t get a new boss in pretty quickly. Accept we could lose to Sheffield United and Burnley even with a new coach but given Doug has been thinking about getting rid for at least a month it seems remiss to not have already had a shortlist drawn up. If he’s serious...

Surely DK ain’t disclosing applicants for a job to a journalist? Got to be Lampard otherwise Doug’s just blown data protection

Fuck me Big Doug wasn’t holding back. Robins and Adi fell out. Robins had final say on the players. Robins didn’t want any of the options for Assistant manager. Can believe a lot of it although obviously this is from Doug’s perspective but Christ I wouldn’t want to work for the guy. Sounds...

I’m sure there are better managers out there on the continent and maybe some of the less well known names like Bloomfield maybe good in the long run but for where we are I can see some logic in Lampard. Im not expecting playoffs this season now but to push up the table and finish top half after...

So gutted to see MR go I don’t think I’d be jumping for joy with any new head coach. Of the names mentioned Bloomfield, Sheehan, Carsley e.t.c Lampards CV is the most experienced so could understand it. He always comes off as fairly articulate and tbf I could see the players respecting him if...

Were they all in they’d played the night before. Bidwell is injured so he could have been in rehabbing. Wouldn’t surprise me if a lot of the first team weren’t at Ryton and heard it from the media.
