    It’s irrelevant Lloyd as the old saying in life is - don’t wait until the last minute! We did and paid the penalty!

    It has certainly sharpened my mind to the dire condition the club is truly in.
    Time for a reset I think. I am always optimistic with the club but not anymore.
    I see a mid 80's drift from here. A depleted squad going into the window and by all accounts slightly worse now.
    Short in all departments and winter not even arrived and we have a full treatment room. If we continue to not win games and not sure why it should change now, then a dog fight lies a head.
    The only advantage I see to this recent window is my prediction should be a lot easier to make now....😧

    I don't believe that if a medical is passed at 4.30 pm and a deal agreed, that somebody at Brighton couldn't have done the paperwork by 11 pm. Do Brighton have only one person who can deal with paperwork? I doubt it. Is it coincidence that deals at both Brighton and Fulham fell through? Again, I doubt it!
    Actually, it was the Fulham deal that was done at 4.30 pm but the above still applies.

    Plus Reach allegedly going to Wigan too!! Surely a free taxi should have been arranged!

    I made a mistake, it was the Fulham deal that was completed by 4.30 pm and not Brighton. The same reasoning still applies though.
