I miss just being able to put a disc/cartridge in to a console and being able to play the game straight away. Is that unpopular? I'd have thought most people hate not having a physical copy of a game that they can play over & over, rather than some digital download that needs you to be online & can have it's severs switched off at any moment & that's that. (I'm assuming that''s what you were getting at?) you would have loved loading the latest game on a commodore only for it to crash at that last moment Ahh the joys of the Commodore/Spectrum era. Look through hundreds of cassette tapes to find the one with the most exciting looking art work on the cover, stick it in the machine, go outside & play some football, go have your dinner, go back out to play some more football, finally come back in to find the game has loaded & it's just some lines on a screen that is in no way anything related to what the cover picture was, eject the tape & go back to step one. Yeah it's not unpopular, was just venting haha.

Is laughing at a mistake such a crime? I do it all the time and if you’re someone who is a pro footballer the mistakes must be even funnier. It just shows you’ve never played football, or any team sport at a reasonable level, you’d be so popular with your team mates and manager… 😳 I played football for 25 years and laughing at your teammates is common practice

And that’s that, 18 signings later is it.
It’s been a ride that’s for certain.
Until January folks 🫡

I thought we had a "competitive budget"? Looks like we're scraping the barrel a bit now. He’s on 35k a week. 15k a week is a lot in the championship now for anyone without parachute payments

If we let Tymon go without signing a recognised left back then it’s a bit daft.

This crossed my mind too, especially with how we've set up these last two league games. Can he play as a narrow ish left back? It's pretty vogue to play an out and out defender in one of the fullback positions in the Premier League allowing the other fullback to attack.. wouldn't be apposed to that. Similar to how we played with Sterling last season.

I fear a player of this his reputation joining will see us return to a back 5... This crossed my mind too, especially with how we've set up these last two league games. When we got promoted last time we had Ryan & Cort as the starting two, then Riggott was on loan but played at right back a couple of times and Gab Zakuani, I'd forgotten about him.

Joins quite a long list of blink-and-you-missed their contributions loanees, but none as short-lived. Allan Smart surely holds the record?

I half jokingly said this yesterday in my group chat but it would actually make sense for all parties. Isn’t Gayle one of our highest earners? And aren’t WBA skint? Can’t see it happening unless it was a loan where we paid a good chunk of his wage. There's probably a clever way of incorporating that in to the Asante fee, whilst allowing them to take over the remainder of his contract.

I've been told it's most likely we'll only make one more signing. A striker. No one will be sold from here Seems a bit of a gamble to only have 3 centre halves on the books, unless they think Okagbue is good enough to step in, in an emergency.

I wonder if Gayle would go back there as part of a deal? I half jokingly said this yesterday in my group chat but it would actually make sense for all parties.

If you use the fbref 'similar player' table, it's interesting who it thinks Thomas-Assante is most like in his style of play. fbref.com/en/players/fb152f96/Brandon-Thomas-AsanteTop of the list is Tom Cannon, then Liam Delap. Teemu Pukki also features. What sort of player is he? Is he the nasty target man that we've been in the market for? I admit that my impression of him was as more of a Mmaee type. Could well explain why we've moved on to him after seemingly dropping out the Cannon race.

www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-transfer-news/ross-stewart-sunderland-transfer-resolve-30819890Southampton are ready to go back in for Ross Stewart after having an opening £5million-plus offer for the Scotland star knocked back. The first bid has been tabled over the past 48 hours and included significant add-ons but has been turned down. The Saints are ready to up the ante again to land the big striker from their Championship rivals – in a move that could hit the £8million mark – before the close of the window. Stewart has been Southampton manager Russell Martin’s top target all summer. Championship rivals Stoke City are also keen on Stewart but don’t have the financial muscle to compete with Southampton. £5m would be my max offer and even then I wouldn't be comfortable with it. Southampton can afford the gamble on him.

Hmm. So not in the hunt for Cannon (as far as we know) Osmajic now looking possibly Verona-bound. And strongest (public) links with Stew from the south coast. Interesting to see what develops Keinan Davis is my guess. I just can't see us signing Davis & Wesley, unless it was a case of he's the only one left we can get.

What are we expecting as the Tymon replacement? A starter to come in over Stevens? Is Toffolo realistic? Or are we looking at another Jared special like Bangura who was mentioned over the weekend? I think Stevens allows us to go for a Jared special, Stevens has been far better than I expected so far so would be happy for us to go out and take a gamble on somebody. Although Toffolo is a very good championship left back who we would seriously have to consider if available to us.

Never owned a Tony Hawk game, I did spend hours and hours on Dave Mirra 2 on the PS2 though.
Think I always thought Tony Hawk looked too chaotic for my liking.

Wrexham? Won't be Gillingham, they already have two no.1's, Morris was player of the season last year and hasn't kicked a ball yet and they're still to concede a goal. Will leave us needing a no.2 as well, would hope we'd get someone experienced in, an older head who is still capable.
