I got lambasted for saying we still need six players the other day - well, nothing has changed my mind.

I wouldn't mind if we had the laziest, thick-as-pigshit striker next to McCormack, as long as he knows where the net is. If we can find one who we can trade for Ayew, all the better.

We better have a busy few days in store. Same old shit. We need a new version of Darren bent to stick chances away, le sulk can fuck off to west game if this is what the next 6 months holds, a wide player, a midfielder and a backup centre half.
Today has been a massive wake up call. I think there is way more chance of RDM being sacked by Xmas than there is of us getting promoted at the moment. 5/15, 1 win, can't dress this up. Especially how we have spent the 2nd most in the league

How can a team who have created about sixty chances in five league games only have five points? It boggles the mind.

We need five at least to have any hope of promotion.

That's what I think too. We just haven't got strength in depth, and the bench is a joke.

I couldn't believe he brought Kozak on. He makes a corpse look dynamic.

A keeper. For the love of god, a keeper.

Was Gollini at fault for their goals today?

I'm surprised he got a run out after last week he was that bad then. Again, the squad is so powderpuff we have to rely on players who're completely out of their depth.

I remember when Kozak signed, Paul Lambert said they'd chased him for months. How fucking slow was that pursuit?

I was fairly encouraged by the Derby game last week. We looked solid at the back. What on earth happened in the last 30 minutes? A worrying trend similar to the Huddersfield game. Now got 2 weeks to sort this out. Hopefully at least 2 more signings by deadline on Wednesday. Need 4 points minimum from the next 2 games at home.

6 points minimum

 to have any chance of going up we  need to start putting together runs of 4 or 5 wins on the bounce

whilst derby may have looked encouraging burton did them last night

as ads has said teams are sussing how we tick and step it up second half but soon it will be straight from the kick off
