As with most sports the margins are so small between winning and losing.

Great test match. Credit to Stokes, Archer and Carse whose bowling won the game. But looking at the bigger picture, we need to blood some new players in readiness for ashes, irrespective if we win, lose or draw this test series. Bashir will be out of the series with his fracture, but Crawley and...

That sponsor is nearly as bad as Stake for a shirt.

I’ll see what squad we have at the end of the window before making a prediction.

I’m just hoping this doesn’t s just rumours doing the rounds. There is no justification for going back to Harrison based on last years form. Due to his age, he’s not going to get any better. However I’ll have serious concerns if we do resign him, as RW is a position we are crying out for quality...

Got worried when his signing wasn’t announced when he allegedly accepted our contract. A signing on a free shouldn't have impacted our PSR situation. Disappointing as he would have definitely strengthened a problem position for us.

I think why supporters are concerned with our lack of business so far is the sheer numbers of players who’ve left at the end of their contracts. It’s true many other clubs haven’t done much business so far, but I’m not aware any many of them needing a squad overhaul on the scale we need.

Whatever the kit, until we get rid of Stake as a sponser, our shirts will always look worse than they are.

We’ve got a player in his prime for free, that significantly improves a weak position within the team. Great business.

The appointments of the pitch, couldn’t be more different to the approach under Moshiri when he first took over. He appointed Koeman a world class player, but frankly a bang average manager who only secured the jobs he did because of his name, not his track record. However arguably his biggest...

In saying that Doucoure’s impact when he played for Everton was even greater, yet 95% of the fan base didn’t want him.

For a youngster breaking into any first team is one of the hardest positions to nail down. You really have to learn your craft and any mistakes are cruelly exposed.

Not the best highlights reel when most of his efforts are misses.

City fan was on the radio before. He loves Grealish, but said he suffered a bad injury against Copenhagen about 18 months ago and has never been the same player since. The lad now can’t stay fit, was a talented player but it’s a no from me.

You are 100% correct. What you have suggested requires time and patience. We need to give the owners that.
