Bar Humphries and Gordon, recruitment over the summer has been shocking and done on the cheap. Sadly now paying the price. This squad isn’t good enough for league 1. 

 

It's more than good enough. Otherwise we would be getting outplayed every week which hasn't been the case. We just obviously need someone who can put the ball in the back of the net.

What's happened to Rhys Walters? Clearly Moore doesn't fancy him to do something on the pitch

At last

Our overall play in terms of chance creation is fine. We just need someone who can put the bloody thing in.

If Waine scores 5 goals this season I’ll show my arse in Burslem Wrights Pie shop.

Why the obsession with doing this in the Wright's pie shop.  Nobody wants this.

Deja Vu. Our recruitment was excellent last time we got promoted, then 4 bad transfer windows later we get relegated. Last season, excellent recruitment but by the looks of things our recruitment has been poor pre season.

If Sproson's comment on the Tolaj move is true, its been on the books for a couple of weeks - so would not have been a surprise to DM and Co. 

Hopefully DM and Co have been busy looking for a replacement or 2 replacements.  Just don't see the Mo - Waine partnership being the answer.  2 players learning their trade and thrown in to the deep end and at the moment drowning.

Might be mistaken for two haggis side by side and someone tries to buy it...

That's a bum deal !! But it did crack me up....[emoji23]

Hackford scored again for Wombles

We’ve fallen to pieces. Absolute <ovf censored>. I can’t remember the last time we gave the ball away so much.

Football can be a cruel game if you dunner put your chances away you get shafted it's happened the last few games now and we've only got ourselves to blame due to piss poor finishing 

It's been happening ever since DM arrived.  Too defensively minded. Only have to look at our lack of goals since he arrived!

I’d take Hackford over Waine any day

Normal service for a Saturday afternoon, Moore out.

I am of the view that Moore has never been the guy to sustain league 1 football, let alone get us to the Championship. His defenders can only point to us getting promoted out of league 2, which was heavily Carol assisted. 

Having said that would we have sold Tolaj for 1.2m in league 2 if we had stayed?

I am happy to see what he can do with the money if he gets it all for the squad. 

Moore has generally bought well but I’ve never felt he has been a man of tactical nous or actually bringing the best out of what he has. 
 

Although I am shocked at just what a gap there is between what clubs are happy to spend between the divisions.
