Even if the board are going to stick with him, won't a lot of our targets be put-off by our awful start to the season? "Throw us an extra £20k a week, and I'll reconsider".

Can we go back and get Sarr please and play him and Bailey out wide either side. We carry no threat.

Our forward line is completely & utterly ineffective. We've wasted the Grealish money on Ings, Buendia & Bailey.

On Ings I agree. The other two haven’t really played in the position or formation that led to us buying them.

Bring him in and make him player manager

Forest have bought 17 players and are playing better football than we are.

We are likely going to start the season with 5 defeats from 6 games. I wonder if the club have just pulled the plug on supporting Gerrard any further in the market. I know I’m probably being cynical and paranoid.


It might kick the trotters up the arse

Sorry, but that is a shameful thing to say. We might not have an Aston Villa if it wasn't for them.

This is where I would go if I were manager.  However, I would also bring in another combative central midfielder to make sure we are more solid and able to press.

We are apparently 'not close to anything' according to Gerrard earlier today.
Two days on and we are definitely not close to scoring.

Why is it shameful? There is nothing wrong with trading. Look at Norwich, they take great pride in being self sufficient club.

Today he said, 'we need to act and we need to act quickly'.  Something isn't right behind the scenes in my opinion.  The only thing that is going to save him, is the players he brings in between now and 11pm on Thursday.  Make sure one of them is a combative central midfielder please.

Why, he won't be able to coach them into a coherent unit.

Think any further signings until this manager is futile now.

I wouldn't say shameful, just stupid.

Oh good god that's just as important. We need width, pace and physicality in the next 3 days.
