To when we kick off vs Birmingham
189 days separates when I personally felt our fate was decided (loss at home to Southampton) and when we face Birmingham.
The entire footballing universe knew Delap would be sold, in fact sold so well he was talking to clubs while the season was in play, and went in the first transfer window.
I made a comment at the end of last season that I had this horrible feeling we’d start the season with a strike force of Hirst and AAH (was shot down for being negative, down voted, told that wouldn’t happen) yet here we are.
I’m Sure it’s been said many times on here (whilst I was in TWTD prison) but that situation is far from ideal and one that is really rather poor in terms of planning and recruitment, isn’t it?
I’m sure I’ll be told there are 3/4 weeks left of the window, that I’m moaning for the sake of moaning. But honestly, you need to question anyone that’s happy with the situation. We kick off the season tomorrow, not in 3/4 weeks… there are points at stake, and we aren’t giving our manager the tools he requires to have the best chance to get those, we’ve left it to chance.
There’s nothing we as fans can do but trust what the management team are doing, but in this particular situation I can’t help but feel really frustration that we are again looking at a squad lacking a striking option that we clearly need.

Think we need 3 more in and then depends if anyone else leaves. At least there is a game tomorrow so we can all shut up about this for a few hours. |
It's exhausting isn't it? |  |

Lol, nice try, chuckles. Judging by how many times you’ve logged back into this thread trying to get the last word, no chance you missed the replies to you a few days ago.
As for being 'insignificant' — well yeah, it's an internet football forum where most of us don't know each other from Adam. If you're basing your significance or otherwise in life though on message board clout, then... well, that probably says more about you than me. [Post edited 7 Aug 14:54]

Ive been travelling, so im not on here all the time, so I have to check in to see what bo11ocks you've replied with.
Anyway, and im being serious, I really cant remember saying anything that contentious in the last few days that would upset the doom mongers. So either my memory is crap or youre being more of a pillock than I credit you for.
Can you remind me what it was please. Im being geniune. |  | | |

I haven't read through the 5 pages so apologies if this is repeating what other replies say. But I never shot you down for saying that. What I said is that getting the right striker is far from straightforward and starting with Hirst and Al Hamadi only is far from ideal but isn't the end of the world either. We have repeatedly missed out on that signing for a long time now and it didn't do us too much harm for a couple of seasons. In fact the season we got Delap over the line it wasn't enough for us! |  |

Well whoopie do for you! That's the best 'look at me' post I've read for a while!
Welcome back Texters.
do you really think that MA or KM wanted it this way? Do you really think they've been twiddling their fingers waiting until it's too late? I've been itchy for the signings, and i'd like to have seen them in before now. But it's not just us - go and ask the Newcastle fans! |  |

Deluded is a strange word to use when the CEO/Chairman is quoted as saying we’d be looking to get business done early in the summer (or something along those lines) |
Well they aren't going to say "yeah we'll be looking to leave it until the last week of the window" are they?
In theory of course you want to do it early. Very rarely will happen.
Just take last season
