    No one is disputing that it needs doing but without substantial funds you have to have several windows to achieve an overhaul, whoever is the Manager. We have done well in my opinion to get some overpaid ageing players off the books for once. Fellows is the only one I think has a future but at least he should get game-time at Crawley.

    Deals having to be either small or primarily loans it was always going to go to the wire and let’s see what finally happens about Onomah still could happen.

    Far better window than I expected if we get Onomah but to be honest my expectations from this shower are low and have been since the Boro game.

    I feel the criticism of Bruce is fair on team selections, not playing the youngsters, the style we play but let’s give him some slack where he doesn’t have the final say.

    All about opinions and yes there’s more creativity but less depth! The defence is weaker without Clarke who was a snip at 2.5 million. Yes good to get Robinson off our books but many would say he will improve Cardiff and Lai’s pocket as clearly he needs the cash due to his loans. Let’s hope ( here and now ) the Salford kid can show he’s better than Robinson.

    So back to - who will score the goals to get us promoted like Mitrovic did for Fulham? Clearly Grant is not a number 9 so will it be the Salford kid? Due to the shocking lack of minutes for TGH do we honestly expect Bruce to try the Salford kid? If not or even a 4-4-2 - then Bruce should shut the f uck up about missing easy chances every single game and think why!!

    As for Bartley back - God help us!!! Preferred Kipre to be honest!

    So Bruce didn’t want Clarke? How do you know that. Average Championship player imo but how come that is Bruce’s fault?

    Absolutely agree we need someone to score the goals but again do you really think Bruce doesn’t want a new striker? What Manager wouldn’t with our squad.

    My point is yes criticise when he makes the decisions but sometimes the Manager can’t do what he wants.

    By the way have a read Brendan Rogers comments about his owner at Leicester, or the now sacked Scott Parker at Bournemouth about his owner. It ain’t just us. Football is dependent upon ever increasing support from the owner, plus Sky money. We are stuffed with Lai as owner and in my opinion no chance of anything changing until he goes.

    Forget automatic promotion. In my opinion it doesn’t matter who the Manager because he isn’t going to get on the end of crosses and score goals for us either. I certainly wouldn’t have a bet on us being top 6 either.
