We need humbling. In matches like this before the run e.g. Port Vale it was a poor match that we nicked because we did the basics right and made sure we wasn’t going to give a goal away. Too many times since the turn of the year we’ve turned up in 2nd gear thinking that we’ll score eventually and either we’ve drawn or lost. Seems like NML has ran out of bunnies from his magicians hat so we’ve gone back to being toothless.

For any football manager players you can loan a player with an option/mandatory buy option. It seems we’ve done this to get around the red tape. Sneaking through EFL loopholes..we’re back and better than ever.

EFL in the mud.

Agreed. But on what planet are we paying a loan fee for a 32 year old when funds are as tight as they are. Fair play if that’s Weds stance. But if it’s a business power play then they’re wasting their time.

I guess come the end of the window we’ll see if they played it well. But on the assumption the player wants to come here and no other teams are interested then it’s pretty daft/spiteful. Anyway I’d move on and see if we can find anybody else.

Knock this one straight on the head. It was the clowns at Wednesday who stopped Johnson joining us on deadline day. Ironically since the manager change he’s been red hot so they got lucky with that. But don’t these fools not realise we don’t have the cash to throw around like previous?

No chance we’re signing 5 in the window. I expect CBT, Smith and one more if we’re lucky.

Lincoln was always going to be tough. Plus whilst they have a reputation of not scoring (which was shown today) they have just signed/recalled 3 strikers so it’s a brand new frontline that will probably cause more problems for teams for the remainder of the season. I do think we should be expecting a win on Tuesday and maybe should be frustrated if we come away with a similar result. Hopefully we get the 2/3 players in to take us up a level. No need to panic or grumble yet IMO.

Surprised CBT hasn’t been announced. I’m sure nothings amiss but the delay is odd.

Oxford, Barnsley and Stevenage not playing today now. This gives me the heebie jeebies for sure. If we win great the pressures on them. But anything other than 3 points and they’ve had a good weekend without lifting a finger.

Fee like this is a bit of a banana skin. In comparison to some of our other fixtures this month anyway.

I don't dislike the guy and he's good enough to be part of a successful league 1 squad and currently with his form arguably deserves to be starting. But if CBT signs and is as good as we hope then I can't see NML being the sacrificial lamb.

Overall play leaves a lot to be desired. Plus when the chips are down i have 0 confidence he'll come up trumps. Ok to have in the squad and he does get on the score sheet but shouldn't be a regular for me.

Barkhuizen hopefully. Obviously if he stinks the joint out and isn't better than Barkz then questions should be asked.

Who'd of thought that a player that claimed that they have a better skillset to hold up a ball over Harry Kane isn't a tactical mastermind.

NML for a start but he's long staff.

Great shout. Either way we've missed out on key funds in the summer. Hopefully there's no more skeletons in the closet.

Was right about NML extension.

Knight money went in to the running of the club. Its quite lame and boring and doesn't bode well for an exciting future but that's where we are at. Believe if we offloaded this month a proportion would be put in the kitty but we don't appear to want to sell this month.

He’s standing next to a mirror.

Clearly Ward isn’t actually fit enough to contribute. Brown there to keep a seat warm. Once you exclude them two our bench didn’t look great.

Hasn’t his loan ran out? Thought we might have heard something one way or another.

I agree with this completely. The excuse is that because there’s so many charges it’ll take longer to come to a conclusion. When judgement day comes I’ll be intrigued by the punishment.

Shame there’s not a fingers crossed reaction on here.

Only Forest could be deducted points in a season where another team has been hit with a double deduction and 2 out of the 3 promoted teams are useless.
