Get your fingers out of your arse and sign us at least one CB who can defend first and foremost, and a striker who can play in the lone striker role.
Otherwise this season could get ugly, very quickly.
18 players signed and only a few look ok. Failed, again.

How have we collected so many players who can't put the ball in the net.
Every time we cart one off, we spend money on another who also can't put the ball on the net.

We desperately need a couple of impactful signings who know what they're doing. Stuff waiting until the summer, we need these players now. |

Scoring goals would offset the deficit in defence.

I don't mind waiting until summer but you can't be confident we'll solve the problems with our recruitment record. At least we know Wesley, Gayle and Campbell are gone in summer and that should give us wiggle room on the wage bill |

Left back is essential. They just exploited the space and didn’t even have to work hard for the 2nd and 3rd goal down that side.

Tricky too busy talking about cultural architects or whatever shite he goes on about. He's a moron mind. Stuff that, get the players we need NOW. |

Otherwise this season could get ugly, very quickly. 18 players signed and only a few look ok. Failed, again. Summed up perfectly. We’re easier on the eye and we have a better manager who seems to have an idea of what the fans want but he needs backing as he hasn’t got the tools he needs. Not enough time to make all the changes we need but the minimum required are a dominant CB and a striker who can score otherwise we’re at real risk of going down. Today really exposed how having midfielders at full back can only take you so far. I’d see if Leicester will give us Soutter. |

Junior at RB then Stevens in at LB as at least he's a LB. A striker is a must too. Kieffer Moore until the end of the season? BTA? If we don't, I think it'll be close as to whether we stay up or not. |

Left and right back positions were extremely poor today and got caught out numerous times, goochy gets a bit of slack as most fullbacks have a torrid time with Clarke but Thompson should not be playing left back at all, square peg round hole.
We created some big chances today and again have no stoke player on the scoresheet.

A message to fans on here. Stop either pretending you know a player we’re linked with and you’ve never heard of like the rest of us and saying we must sign him and how wonderful he is, or if you have heard of him own your mistake as well.
I’d never heard of hardly any of our summer signings, yet when I logged on here all I saw was get him he’s ace.
I thought by the end of the window we were going be running away with the league by the knowledge of this message board.

We absolutely needed the rebuild in the summer, but after August it was evident the majority of the signings weren't good enough. We desperately needed sort the defence out yet Slick Jared and Tricky Ricky were too busy buying us cultural architects who can't score or defend. They've done a terrible job with signings, let's be honest. This week they need pull a few rabbits out of the hat, players who can make a difference now. I have little confidence they will. |

In an ideal world I’d agree with this. I don’t think that Mmaee or Vidigal are awful but they just haven’t adjusted to the league yet and may never do. Vidigals way too lightweight and Mmaee just doesn’t work hard enough (on their third he was literally walking). We need a Brown type up front who never stops running and will get 10-15 goals a season. |

I don’t know what you mean aimed at you? I’m saying loads on here were football experts in the summer and giving us all their knowledge on each signing saying how good they were, when chances are they had no knowledge of them themselves. Of course we needed a rebuild in the summer and some are no doubt decent players when on form, but if we’re linked again with someone foreign player from god knows where, let’s just keep it at that without telling the rest of us he’s mint and getting our hopes up |

Burger and junho the only players I have any time for.
The rest can all genuinely fuck off.

A mate at work summed it up this week. We've signed a load of fannies. When you sign that many players in one window, it's obvious that not all of them will work out but, bar one or two, there is no character. They would rather play 5-10 yard easy passes and fall over and sulk when they don't get a foul. There is no Overson, Taggatt, Shawcross, Huth, Whelan etc who will roll their sleeves up when the going gets tough.
Of course, we should never have got to the point where we needed to sign so many players in one go but that's a totally different subject.
There's rarely any value to be had in a January window so I'm not optimistic about the next few days. One thing is certain though, if we don't get our shit together and get our home form back on track, we are in big trouble.

The rest can all genuinely fuck off. Totally agree and I don't think Alex Neil had a great deal of say. The club remains a shit show in terms of clear leadership, clarity of roles and responsibilities and levels of competence. Doesn't matter who the manager is if you run the club in such a manner |

We created some big chances today and again have no stoke player on the scoresheet. Thompson did a decent job before he was scouted. Now every opposition we play know to put pressure on the full backs and that they aren't good enough to compete. Need a fit Junior back (though need to remember he's only young) and a decent left back. |

Vidigals way too lightweight and Mmaee just doesn’t work hard enough (on their third he was literally walking). We need a Brown type up front who never stops running and will get 10-15 goals a season. Mmaee has been so poor, and though he has good technique, his face just doesn’t fit this team (or even this league). I think he’d do well in a league where he’s allowed time on the ball to pull off his flicks and turns, but neither Neil or Schuey play the kind of systems that get the best out of him. That’s on the recruitment team. Why did they buy him? Did Neil sanction it? Vidigal was a cheap gamble and hopefully he’s not on high wages. Maybe his injuries have taken the steam out of him and needs time to get back to his early season form, but my hunch is that he’s another not suited to this league. Pack the both of them off to Portugal in the summer I say. |

I think that we will be extremely lucky to get anything near what we need in this window. Decent players are seldom available and even poor ones often come with an expensive price tag. The sad reality will likely see us soldiering on as best we can and hoping that there are three teams who are worse. What a dreadful prospect.😣
