I think too many people convinced themselves we'd be having a crack at the autos, which was never realistic.
Yeah I know and they didn’t want to miss out on cashing in with 1 year left and I’m sure they had ions in the fire but I’ve woke up to seeing we’ve signed no one to strengthen our midfield that clearly needs reinforcing and it’s shit.
if we spank Norwich I’ll feel better but the jury’s out on Torp, Eccles and Allen for me.
We could go 4-4-2 and play to our attacking strengths.yeah, also with Burnley in the league there was only ever 1 auto place open anyway.
Yes we could do with more depth in midfield but as i have said we can field a really strong first XI if all fit and if we lose midfielders we'll adapt.
Maybe we'll even start bypassing the midfield a bit and going longer to the brilliant forwards we have quicker.
Announcement on pitch today?
Tbf, it is abit deflating, yes we've spent a considerable amount of money to achieve top 6 and we have exceptional forward options. But we have to get the ball to them. The midfield has got progressively worse. We’ve gone from the box ofI'm disappointed we didn't sign a midfielder but good lord the overreactions in here from a few.
If we lose today it's going to be an absolute mess on here later.

Our club is unrecognisable to the one we had just 2 years ago, on and off the pitch.
Not sure it was lack of drive and creativity at allDo we though. Do we honestly look better than teams like Burnley Shef utd, Sunderland, leeds etc. in the league so far weve managed to scrape a win against a team who most are tipping to finish bottom this season and the Bristol game we were lucky to get a point thanks to a moment of skill from a player we have now let go.
anyone that travelled to Stoke and Bristol could see that the big problem with the team was a lack of drive and creativity from our midfield and the only player who tried to resolve that has now been sold with no replacement in an all ready light midfield
we now need some loan signings I feel. Not sure we have enough in midfield to get us to January?
Our midfield is weaker than it was a few months ago. I could really see us returning to 5atb to tighten up if the CMs keep getting overrun like they did against stoke and Bristol.
Palmer is no lossNot bed wetting because i trust the club but letting Palmer go and not bringing anyone in is shite.
We played it for half a season and made the playoff final !I watched us play hoofball at Bristol. It’s not for us.
Some of our very best players are wide players and you think the solution is to not play them and instead push the full backs on ??Our midfield is weaker than it was a few months ago.

It was entertaining with Gus and Viks abilities, it was like we activated cheat codes at the start of every gameWe played it for half a season and made the playoff final !
Not that I'd chose to see it again
That wasn’t hoofball, just taking too long to play out from the back causing players to clear it anywhere when pressed.I watched us play hoofball at Bristol. It’s not for us.
You know you’re allowed to play wide attackers in a 3-4-3 right? I didn’t suggest going back to the box.Some of our very best players are wide players and you think the solution is to not play them and instead push the full backs on ??
YepIt was entertaining with Gus and Viks abilities, it was like we activated cheat codes at the start of every game
Dear god I expected some nonsense to have been written by some but crikey !
I see the combined meltdown has started
Eccles - not good enough , yet for two seasons he consistently has been
Allen - Missed last season and we missed his energy
Torp - Came with a big reputation, granted hasn't delivered consistently but there is definitely a player in there
Rudoni - Still settling in but there is a star in the making I'm sure of it
Lati - Don't want to see him regularly in midfield but can cover at times
Andrews / Dausch - Both have shown ability and both clearly well thought of
Yes we needed a CM and we are not quite there without signing one but 90% of clubs don't have a perfect squad with cover for every eventuality.
Personally I think we will hover around the top 8 -10 till January and strengthen again.
Enjoy the ride #pusb
As you suggesting we play Tats and Wright as wing backs ??You know you’re allowed to play wide attackers in a 3-4-3 right? I didn’t suggest going back to the box.
If there was a book of hysterical Cov fans you’d be on the front cover.Fair enough, and I don’t feel like I’m in hysterics over this window, but are Lati, Eccles, Andrews, Dausch top 6 material? They’re just championship players rather than anything special and I think that’s the main concern, where’s the standout quality in midfield that’s going to propel us into the prem? Sheaf is good and Rudoni probably will be great in time but we’re really light on playmakers in midfield.
Eccles is quality and has been for two seasons . He is underrated by many on here for no real justifiable reason .Fair enough, and I don’t feel like I’m in hysterics over this window, but are Lati, Eccles, Andrews, Dausch top 6 material?

It is strange to not get a midfielder in when we targeted Browne and stamenicEccles is quality and has been for two seasons . He is underrated by many on here for no real justifiable reason .
And with the two youngsters I guess the only way of knowing how good they are is by playing them but Dausch showed glimpses last season
I prefer to think of it as radical optimismIf there was a book of hysterical Cov fans you’d be on the front cover.
Problem is he doesn’t appear to be livid.to be honest if i was Robins i would be livid
What a fucking shocking deadline day for us to be fair. No midfielder we ain't doing shit this season.
