This really sums up the current mess:

https://x.com/warrenholmes/status/1962265130650992839?

On what basis is he making those accusations?

Its a little simplistic, agents will be constantly seeking to understand what the market is. I'm gutted about JJ going but players move on all the time, some because they want to sometime because it suits the club.

All is not well with the club, but I'm not sold on this story at all.

Me neither. It’s no excuse for the absolute lack of professionalism in our first three matches.

I will say, I'd much rather have had JJ out there than Malen.

So flat. The atmosphere or lack thereof before, the first half performance dictated by the full backs and the hapless and fearful Cash in particular. A player whose time is now passed but gets to stick around by a now admirable virtue of actually wanting to be here and financial restraints that make other areas more compelling.

A slow waltz, shuffling side step, checking back. Afraid to inject risk and make a mistake. Then with only their second touch in our box they score a penalty. They'd have two more touches before their second, Cash the culprit for the cheap turnover.

The second half was better; Emi responsible for pest like pressing to give us a more energetic feel. The full backs higher,  the ball going into the box, saves forced. Corners won. Not vintage, definitely not fluid, but it was so easily crushed.

We're not in a particularly deep rut, despite the awful start, but it feels bigger. It's not tactical, its strategic. It's not tangible, it's grasping and then somehow knitting confidence that appears as fleeting as fog.

We need a bounce, a dodgy penalty. Will Hughes actually being sent off like he deserved to be. An opponent having to work hard for something, not more low block boredom and good fortune that utterly escapes us. It needs players. Its needs fresh ones, impetus, something that exercises that catastrophic decision from the Argentinian snake back in May which still haunts us. The clear impact that SCR has had on recruitment but that has utterly sapped and depleted morale. We needs this rotten window closed and to draw a line under events. We as fans need to stop thinking about it- saying its unfair endlessly isn't going to wish a new system into existence for our benefit, as much as we would love it too.

From the TV, was Hughes foul on Rogers first half as obvious a yellow as it looked in the ground?

Just watched highlights on motd. Gueyhe's brilliant goal was a direct result of a missed pass by Cash. That's 3 out of the last 4 games he's cost us a goal with sloppy passing. He really isn't good enough at this level.

Direct result? Are you missing Konsa whacking a clearance under no pressure at McGinn. Cash had half blocked the cross to make it quite an easy clearance to begin with.

And, in a very rare moment of magnanimity, wasn't that Wharton impressive, I don't think I saw him give the ball away once. Terrific player.

Mate, he was rubbish. I know you love your hardworking cloggers over those effete and fruity kickers of a ball, but Christ almighty Cash was shit out there this evening.

McGinn started lively first 15 mins then Wharton took control of the whole game. Very, very good player.

Rubbish or not he was a long way down the list to blame for that goal or the one after it. Or the red card v Newcastle.

Cash had a particularly poor game - and it was a healthy competition. However as I have stated elsewhere- having Malen as your support in that area is an accident waiting to happen.

Cmon, you know Cash losing it in the middle of the oppositions half trumps Konsa thinking McGinn could control the ball that was travelling at speed whilst bouncing and whilst he had two players on him. (And also Bizot deciding he should attempt to run out to tackle Guehi or whatever thought he had to suddenly run forward from his goal line for.

Yeah, he's going to go for a fuck load of money next season.
