I can. 

We haven't had a proper squad since promotion. An utter shambles. 

I genuinely think Flitcroft and Carol are making it up as they go along. "Trust the process"? What process? Where's the strategy, where's the long term thinking? How are they supposed to build the club and sell it to supporters when we're seeing such rank amateurism. Absolute <ovf censored>. 

Indeed. Remember the old cobblers under Askey? What was it..want, need, expect? 
 

Want to win.

Need strikers

Expect buys

 Not at Vale for sure at the moment

Just to get this clear flitcroft are confident that when the inevitable happens and wilson picks up a injury they have faith in loft and dipepa to keep us up :))))))))))))

That's about the gist of it , yeah 😆

I mean the fact we are the same odds as Charlton boggles the mind given the guys they brought in.

It's because of our games in hand we certainly wont be 9/1 come the end of this month

Didn’t happen. Which in a way is pleasing. 

Yeah for sure. This half a season stuff needs to be ironed out imo I don't think it's acceptable and just adds pressure to the team when they just chip off elsewhere

The duration should be all or nothing the parent club just has to suck it up if a player does well, and equally the receiving club if the loan’s a dud, if a whole season ‘contract’ is agreed. If clubs want the flexibility of recall then only a 5 month (ie Aug through December) loan contract should be agreed.  Reduces the January window uncertainty.  Alternatively just only allow 5 month loan contracts that’s arguably what the season-long ones are anyway.

Indeed, but Dwight Gayle should be able to do something in league 1 for us.

I don’t but again the idea there are not suitable strikers around is not true. It’s that there isn’t the suitable money.

Just to give an idea of the clubs who are looking at him basically it’s a non-starter.

As Flitcroft said himself last January… Free agents are free for reason. Nobody wants them!

DF has failed miserably, identified 2 positions that needed filling (which we all knew anyway) and then didn't sign either. 

He's paid a salary to get these things sorted, it's on his head. If the funds simply aren't there then his job should be redundant, what's the point in him being here?

Lose tomorrow and it will be uglier than it already is.
