SUPERTOON

Fwiw, (probably nothing as it was Simon Bird) but he was on a podcast with one of the Chronicle journalists suggesting Barnes could be sold.

Massive fan of Eze but doesn’t he mainly play of the left ?

I know he’s pretty much tier one for London sides, not sure that would mean he would know Guehi was our only target.

Quite concerning if true. Again based on Mitchell’s interview post deadline, there should be no chance we go back in for either.

Not sure we crave a star signing, just want to see the glaring hole in the squad improved with more quality.

Got subbed off for Tonali I think.

Didn’t we sub Tonali on in two of those games to go on and eventually win the game ?

Their use of the free transfer market has also been really good.

No release clause either, apparently.

Excellent post, sums up my feelings pretty much as well, with the added caveat that the summer window has also shafted Howe massively. (Not sure who exactly is too blame for that).

Completely agree about the summer 2023 window, I thought it was poor at the time (no lack of effort from the club mind) and it has looked worse has time as gone on.

Who does he even come back in for ? Tonali and Joelinton played well on Saturday (should never have taken Tonali off).

If we finish outside of Europe the club share most of the blame though. The summer window has left us massively short. That’s more on them than Howe.

We all thought the same in the summer regarding Guehi, turns out we did only have one target.

Mental if the best we can do is Elanga.

We haven’t got the players to play any other style though.

True, we have been saying that for about 2 years now mind.

Absolutely love seeing Palace struggle.

I don’t think our squads are that far apart in quality tbh.

Forest did us a favour, I can’t see it.

They have definitely earned the chance to put it right, although I’m not sure January will be the time we do it.

More than anything (for me anyway) is it feels like the progression has stopped off the pitch. Everything just feels very stale at the minute, add that to the disaster of the transfer window, the lack of stadium/training ground updates and still no new sponsors. The off the pitch stuff has directly effected us on the pitch imo.

I didn’t hear any booing towards our players on Saturday fwiw. Half time the booing started when the ref got closer to the tunnel. None of it was aimed at our lads imo.

Can’t beat it when it’s aimed at the opposition or ref tbh. Sounds brilliant I then stadium and always gets the fans up for the game.
