Last time SL loosened the purse strings was when we had LJ/Ashton. It was a disaster once COVID came along. Next time we go for it more, if there is another time under SL, it needs to be under the right TD and manager. Or else it's a waste and may cause more harm than good

Had we kept Tins then would we be doing better? 馃ぃ Not sure many would want to admit it. The problem with '3 years', 'bumps in the road', you could literally appoint any manager, wait and hope things improve over that time. But will it improve under Skubala? What suggests it will

Never thought we would get a worse manager than Benny Lennartsson. But he came into a terribly unbalanced squad after Ward. Skubala has mostly a good squad. Numerous good CBs. Flair 10s. Champ level CMs. Strikers. GKs a problem but come on, look at us. Absolutely shockingly bad

When I see a player has to go back because it's either pass to any of the completely static options who have players on them, as none are Scott or Semenyo they most likely lose it. I look at what is going on at the HPC. You want to pass forwards but you don't if there's no option

1st concern with Skubala was in preseaon, usually I take as getting minutes in the legs. Seeing he had gone with Tanner and Pring as WBs in a back 3 system I nearly ignored it till he said he wanted to see what they were like there. A guy who had obsessively watched videos of us!

Think he will be gone if we lose this. At the very least we'd have to show some fight and be unlucky to not get back in the game to give any sane person any tiniest bit of optimism to hold on to

'3 year plan'. I can't believe how many fans lapped up that nonsense. It's such a negative message to send imo. One fan who I usually respect even said relegation and then a rebuild might be a good thing. In the real world if we played like this those fans wouldn't be happy

With possible Scott money will we get big lumps so we can more effectively go long ball, and get rid of the players who like getting on the ball between the lines like Twine and Horvat. I said in the summer we might as well sell Twine at his highest value as he isn't Skoobs type

Not been on here for ages. Poor season so far isn't it? A lot of fans said 3 year plan. It all sounds good but it was obvious if we looked poor then a lot of those fans would lose patience. I was just waiting to see how we looked before getting excited. Below par so far

Ballard all on his own there. Why is no one sprinting forward to try and give him an option
