Ashton and the recruitment team yet ??
What an appalling transfer window this has been
The club have known about Delap leaving for months, yet here we are relying on an over rated Hirst and Ali 😂😂😂 |  | | |  |

Only thing I've wondered. And not saying at all it would have changed anything btw.
But did we sell delap to soon?
Seeing these clubs having issues with strikers... could we perhaps have ended up with a large bidding war.. ( I cant remember if his relegation clause was actually met as chelsea paid less than his clause didn't they? [Post edited 25 Aug 9:10]

Yet you’re calling it an appalling transfer window, it’s a good one
And we got £37.5m for Omari.
If we can get a good striker and centre mid next week it’ll have been a really strong window. |  |

Why. It's a forum and im hoping someone could remind me if the clause was indeed met. | |

you're not, your first post was an exclusive that omari had travelled to play against brum less than a month ago.

Yep, we're really not too far away, though it's very obvious that we're targeting top quality and better than we have which we're no doubt having competition for, probably being held to ransom a bit too within contracts, I do feel for both MA and KM in that respect.. |  | | |

I think perhaps the final two transfers are both £15m+
And take time and there is competition and difficulty.
Do wonder whether our poor start also inhibits any deals. | |

I doubt Hayden Hackney is having any regrets right now about turning down Town (2ps) for Boro (9pts). |  |

We're 3 games in, have had the team gutted and the transfer window's still open. No-one's proved anything. |
I believe we should wait and see what business we have or have not done when the window closes. But let's at be honest this is not 3 gamed it has been going on for over 40 games and a change in results is definitely needed and fairly soon. Excuses and trying to justify losing only lasts so long. | | | |

Yeah our poor start had me thinking if that would make a difference in selling the new project, hoping McKenna still has the draw of a top coach which of course he still is.. | | | |

If he's judging a potential transfer on the basis of points gained in the first 3 games of a team in transition, then he's as brainless as some on here. | |

How about some context? McAteer only arrived the other day and came on as a sub. Akpom has had little more time with the squad. You expect these players to be up-to-speed already?!
You also fail to mention the players we've lost.
Our inspirational captain - a player who would lift the team and pull them up the pitch. With Morsy still here we'd have more points from these opening games.
Then we have Delap and Omari - our star striker and most creative player - gone.
Then we have Tuanzebe - arguably our best defender - gone.
Burns still out, Ogbene coming back from injured, Broady gone. We've also not finished replacing these, or we have players not up to speed with McKennaball.
The spine has been ripped out and we're 'making do' at the moment.
These are the reasons we're not firing and clicking yet. |
What sort of ambitious plan involves selling/releasing your best players and replacing them with inferior talent and loanees? | | | |

For me it's not a question of whether anyone is allowed to criticise. It's a message board after all.
My issue is why do some of us seem to revel in even the slightest opportunity to criticise the club? Even the OP with the laughing emojis seems to be somehow revelling in the thought we are currently in the midst of an "appalling transfer window". How can anyone know until the window is closed?
It seems to me that there is a growing number of posters who just seem intent on wrecking the positivity that has been part of our growth since Gamechanger came in. Last season sucked. There are no two ways around it. It was difficult to endure at times but that has always been the life of a football supporter. Town fans have had their fare share. The dismantling of the Robson team, the Duncan era, administration, Hurst, Evans, Lambert. We've been through them all and they were all 10 x worse than where we currently find ourselves.
And yet, following every amazing thing that has happened at this club in recent years is systematically picked apart by a few posters seemingly intent on doing nothing other than spreading misery and division.
As it stands, our success may well be our downfall if these voices continue to be dominant.
The board is awash with negativity with a large majority of negative posts, though I do think it's an active vocal yet smallish minority posting multiple posts and it seems those trying to remain positive are labelled "ball sacks". That said, I do think the term bedwetter is a little inflamatory too, but maybe some see it as fighting fire with fire.
I guess my question to the negative posters is what exactly would you do differently.
The answer can't just be get more players wtc.
I want to hear a really cogent and considered response about players we should be in for, how much we should be willing to pay and an insghtful methodology of how transfer business should be addressed.
In addition, a thoughtful review of where it is going wrong on the pitch and what could our manager do differently. Any personal experience of coaching football at any level would be a useful foundation or perhaps have personal experience of building a team in a business environment.
Admitedly this is a big gauntlet to throw down, but I'm throwing it. |  |

Criticise all you like, I just don’t see the point of doing it as this stage. We could in a weeks time have 2-3 outstanding signings and your criticism might look pretty stupid. I’d be inclined to keep my powder dry (and my bed too for that matter) if I was you. |  | | |

What couldn't we do differently ?? I could write a whole chapter on that, as could any supporter who has been around long enough to remember beyond McKenna and his tactics.
For an instance, how about doing away with the 3 players behind Hirst? Why are they there ? Put 3 or 4 in midfield , stop having to operate on transition, dominate possession, protect the back 4 , play 2 forwards so Hirst has actually got someone to pass a long ball to, and we have actually got cover when the wing backs go forward. |  | | |
