Trash. We could be playing for 2 more hours and still not score.

Pathetic by Willock.

9th is our ceiling this season. Mediocre squad, not enough attacking quality off the bench.

We’re very very average. Need at least 3 decent players.

This fucking ref…

We’ll still get a draw, probably. Not good enough.

Christ almighty, poor.

Our wingers, as expected, have been pretty uninspiring so far.

Yup. No goodwill from me; guy threw a fit and forced a move to a more glamorous bench, leaving us short. Imagine if Darlow got his injury 2 weeks later than he did. It’s petty but I’d find it hilarious if he doesn’t get a single game for them.

Watched a YouTube video about him a few weeks ago funnily enough; "what happened to Karius", or somethingto that effect. Seems like he was mentally broken after that game and things have just been getting progressively worse for him.

He'd be mad not to take it imho. Not denying his talent, but how much bigger a club could Potter realistically get? Say he says no, and Brighton fall off spectacularly this or next season. He could get sacked and then that's it, done, it's over for him in terms of getting that top top job (which Chelsea is). The job security of any PL manager is incredibly volatile, you need to cash out when your stock is high. Regardless of Chelsea's proclivity towards sacking managers, he'll be paid well, have a huge budget to play with and actually have a chance to win things. More celebrated managers than Potter have "failed" there and their reputations remained largely intact.

Maddison is probably one of the best players in the world that we could realistically bring in at this time. Would be a sensational signing imo. Isak was a massive statement of intent, JM would be another one. We'd be a cm/cdm and, sure, a fair few good cover options away from being genuine top 6 contenders imo.

You DHgaters will be the reason we don't sign a world class midfielder in the January window.

Miggy's just about fine for now; he's decent presser and quick on the break. That fact that we already have someone in Tripper on the right side that can put in quality balls makes his workrate useful for something, at least. When maxi's gone though our left side really lacks any kind of goal threat.

They definitely have a better squad than us but a worse manager. Interesting to see how this plays out; would love us to set down a marker as being one of the best "other 14" clubs currently but I feel we're set for another draw/1 goal loss.

Can't watch. Late gutter incoming.

We look like an ok midtable team without Bruno and Maxi.

1 goal in this game. Hope it's us. Lacking quality all over the field here.

Solid plan tbf. Worked well for German clubs. Built in buy-back clauses as well I imagine, so they’re guaranteed a profit if they do well.

Needed that little bit more. Priority positions of rw and cm haven’t improved so it’s a 8 out of 10 summer window for me. Great work all round; just falling short of a perfect one had we secured a decent loan or 2.

I know. Great summer, all things considered. But to counter your point slightly: Murphy will start at least 1 PL game before January. Longstaff? Many.

Gotta admit, I’m pretty disappointed we didn’t pad the squad out with a loan at least.

I appreciate that Forest are showing ambition but no one can convince me that there’s any rhyme or reason to their signings. An agent’s wet dream atm, complete marks seemingly.

Oh no, don’t get me wrong, I’m super happy with our business so far. It’s not often you get a window where every transfer is an absolute home-run, and it seems like we’ve managed that. It’s terribly entitled but I really want us to round out these last few hours with at a least a decent loan. Step by step I know, but our bench options are shocking currently.
