Not a word about a new CB. f*** me Would be a ridiculous decision which would definitely bite us in the arse. Nor a mention about a keeper. If the club really is only going to bring in a signings if they can ship out a couple then the bell is tolling for me. The potential millions lost (as is been stated in the post above) if they go down shows just how naive and stupid they are. I just don't have any faith in the club anymore to make sensible decisions.

Looking at some of the teams around us we can stay in touch as bad as we are. The key for me in January. We need to sign a proven striker, goalkeeper and central defender. If we piss about with transfer fees and try and chance things/take a risk then I can see us going down. Buy the right players and we'll stop up but I don't think McClaren has what it takes with what we have now to stay up.

I find him completely uninspiring to listen to. That grin winds me up too

Just not good enough, stating the obvious though.

A proper goalkeeper, centre half and probably another goal scorer are needed to keep us up

The fact Elliot is in goal is another example of the cock ups at board level

yet people claiming the key moment in todays game- has nothing to do with the way the club is run. Are they? Jesus Christ if they are. Of course there's a link ffs

Complete liability who should've been moved on but as per usual we decided against buying someone decent to fill the position.

He's taking us down

I think we're finally going down this year

Can't wait BG! You're always a good'un

Spot on. We are totally screwed this time.

He's got the air of a manager heading straight for the sack or resigning.

I guess it's tough to say the right thing after games like that but he just doesn't sound convincing at all does he. He just sounds lost with no idea how to get out of this, like he's going through the motions hoping something will happen.

Dead man walking already, blimey

Where you off to?

I genuinely think me might walk actually

Definitely getting relegated under Schteve

He really will be shitting it now

A bad loss in the derby would be the straw that breaks the camels back IMO

I wouldn't actually be surprised and he'll cite differences of opinion with the board or something

I have to say the more I see of him on the touchline and how desperate he looks and the stuff he comes out and says post match I get the feeling he's incapable of rescuing this situation. He's starting to remind me more and more of when Hodgson looked like he was having a stroke when we beat Liverpool. That's a good summing up. He just looks like he doesn't know to what to do worryingly and he seems to be having zero impact on the side.

Completely. We're in serious bother

that'll keep the bums on seats EDIT: the best part is once we hit january and they release the stories about having the meeting "next week" to identify targets It's happened too many times. Here's a thought, how about as well as buying some "potential" in the summer as they have done you bring in some solid, proven signings who will do the job. You might then not have to panic buy in January because you realise you've fucked up........again. Buying proven quality while more expensive amazingly increases your chances of staying in the league and finishing much higher up thereby guaranteeing lots of £££££. Instead they refuse to pay a few extra million which is dwarfed by the potential earnings of a decent, productive, clinical side. Honestly the people running this club.
