What budget? We brought in one permanent transfer where we had to pay a fee - good signing yes.

The rest - free transfers and loans and a reserve keeper no one else wanted.

When you next email ridsdale about budgets etc why don’t you ask him why he decided to give contracts to Harrop, maguire, evans and Cunningham. That’s part of the reason we have no budget. See what he says. Maybe you two can be friends?

I think he's more your type, arrogant, doesn't use capital letters where required and full of shit 👍

The big dogs can take some fucking criticism from the people they shat on then, because that's business too.

They don't need a dimwit scuttling around trying to talk up their pathetic ownership of the football club.

Dimwit here. Are your views the only ones that count? You seem incapable of accepting anyone else's. I try to put a bit of realism into mine. I accept, I'm not always right. You ontje other hand it appears my view or no view. Somewhat blinkered in my opinion. The world thankfully is full of differing opinions. Please accept it.We are not living in a world according to the gospel of Thracia.Amen.

I'm not going to accept your views, because they're servile and imbecilic. Hope that's clear enough for you.

Fine, I can accept that unlike yourself. I hope you are happy in your little self indulgent world.

Bore off - "sure they fucked over the fans, that's business" is not an opinion I want any association with.

Then gets all upset when people tell him to stick it up his arse - but hey, "that's business".

I’m annoyed at the board , but on matchdays it’s Lowe who sets the team up and makes the tactical changes / subs.

We all know we needed a striker , but we still have enough quality in the squad to get some wins… none at home so far.

I think we need to get ready for League 1

Yeah some very good points particularly about Lowe 🤔.He has to take responsibility for the formation,the players bought/got rid of/kept and selections and substitutions.Additionally given the number of internationals in the team you would expect more and to my mind that’s down to the manager.He decided on Parrot for the loan and presumably assessed he could score at championship level.Both him and Riis look short of confidence and hardly any shots in the last 2 games..I think Lowe said after last game something about maybe he needs to give them more confidence which he should be doing well before now! but it’s very difficult when you have scored 1 goal in 10 games between you.I think a change of formation is necessary and even more longer balls in order to get goals because without them league 1 beckons as 0-0 can only take you so far and if we lose the next 3 Sunderland/Norwich/WBA which is distinctly possible,then Lowe could be on his way and a more pragmatic manager sought to maintain Championship status

Lowe is far from blameless. He made two particularly strange substitutions on Saturday, but whilst he is responsible for the formation and no doubt had a say in players released, he's only responsible for players bought/borrowed in so far as our restricted budget allows.

Parrott has been a big disappointment but it could have been foreseen, as his scoring record in League 1 was underwhelming, but he was probably the best we could afford. I'm sure Lowe would have liked to sign a prolific young PL striker on loan.

I've never been convinced by Lowe but I gave him the benefit of the doubt until he had the chance to build his own squad. Unfortunately, he hasn't had the backing to do that.

As for a more pragmatic manager, surely you can't get much more pragmatic than 3 goals in 10 games, and 4 conceded?

Yeah you are right about the budget .. what I meant about pragmatic was doing what’s absolutely necessary to get goals/results even if not easy on the eye ..changing from his wing back philosophy and this idea that he was pleased “ with the fantastic stuff” he said PNE played against Sheffield ..

We have to be very careful with Parrot and remember he’s only a 20 year old boy.
He started really well without actually scoring and if we’d have had the main striker we actually needed he wouldn’t be under so much pressure now.
We had a fantastic reputation for looking after young Prem loans and I hope we don’t blow it by putting too much pressure on Parrot with Spurs recalling him if they’re not happy.

Fair comment, although unfortunately he can't ditch the wingback system, not least because we don't have a single right back at the club!

Bollocks to that. It’s not a kindergarten - he needs to deliver or fuck off back to Spurs

You could play Potts or Browne there but yeah what a bloody mess! Oh and who got rid of Fisher?….

I didn't realise he was only 20 - but then so is Archer. You're right though, he needs handling carefully, but the problem is, if he doesn't play, who comes in? Evans or Maguire? It's a shambolic situation that should never have been allowed to happen.

As someone posted the other week, the failure to sign (as a minimum) a right wing back and a proven striker is a dereliction of duty by the owners/Ridsdale and could well cost us our Championship status.
