It's so patently obvious that we need a striker - just like we have for most of the season. I get that Hodgkinson is trying to keep the finances of the club on an even keel and stop us falling into financial disaster. However strikers cost money. Forest went out and got Glenn Murray, Derby signed Lee Gregory. I presume neither of those would have fitted into our wage structure and I appreciate that Derby and Forest both have potential financial issues. Do you suppose their fans will care if they're a division higher than us next season. We’re the 8th highest scorers in the league and 23rd in the goals conceded table. We’re giving ridiculous goals away literally every game now. We need a decent keeper and 2 decent defenders much more than we need a striker. If this keeper we signed isn't good enough to replace schofield until the end of the season then why the bloody hell did we sign him ?

Still don't get DD starting you have REG and Stearman that could have played REG would be ideal in that role. Or put obrien in hoggs role with bacuna n Holmes in the middle. Some really baffling decisions IMO from CC even the subs Really odd. I genuinely cannot believe I’ve just seen Duhaney play CB for 90 mins. Tbf he didn't do much wrong

Give us something positive then positive? We're a shit team with a skint owner, I'm struggling to find any positives out of this season. The next game where we don't have a left back available is at Preston. We don't ever win there either. So it isn't an issue. There you go the most positive thing I can come up with. 3 away games where it’s virtually guaranteed we’ll lose. Middlesbrough, Derby and Preston, all in the space of 2 weeks. 2 down, 1 to go!

We're all disappointed tonight but that is beneath contempt and deliberately offensive Pete’s right that’s not called for and we shouldn’t start attacking each other. That game was terrible enough without having people slagging each other off after it Got to agree there's no need for in fighting or comments like that.

That's fair enough, and I respect your stance. But you have to accept that if you're not actually watching the games then your opinions on the performance are totally invalid. Not entirely. I read the comments on here afterwards and it’s pretty clear Schofield isn’t improving. That one game I saw (at Crawley) he was weak on crosses and allowed the ball to squirm under him for a goal to Crawley. Sound familiar? Seen Brown often enough in the flesh for Town before his injury at Brentford and before COVID. Nah, never rated him. Saw Duhaney play for Boston in an FA Cup game at Carshalton before he returned to Town. Weak, poor even at that level. Haven’t seen anything to change my mind that he’s nowhere near good enough, and never will be. Prefer to trust what I see with my own eyes, at games, not on TV. But nobody has seen a game in person in almost a year. Not even scouts for the top teams in Europe. I appreciate what you're saying about you thinking you're a good judge of players (although not good enough to be employed by a football club for doing that - correct me if I'm wrong), but your arrogance in determining the current value and talent level of players you are not watching is astounding. In fact, it's laughable and you are a fool.

Just watched second half of Rotherham v Forest and they were crap. Rotherham that is. Other than lauch the ball and run after it they had nothing. On that oerformance im amazed they have acquired 29 points so far. Imagine someone watching us for the first time tonight. They would be amazed we had any points at all

Or perhaps a coach that drills his team to stop them conceding shite goals every week! Its 13 games without a clean sheet ffs!!!

So frustrating to have to watch this inevitable shite every time we play a team that sets up like this (pretty much every team now as they have done their homework). I don’t know why I bother to watch after we concede? Anyhow, just want to get a few things off my chest then I’m off trying to think about something more fun like cleaning the toilet or similar...
1. I’m turning the sound off next time DTS is commentating. Apart from the obvious “keeping them honest” shite I’m done with him getting overly excited or frustrated at every single decision the ref makes. “Wow and that’s the cheapest free kick ever” “oh I thought that was nothing but we’ll take that ha ha ha” etc. Like listening to a fan commentating. He is also speaking up every town player and making excuses for them all the time, and when someone does something really bad he blame the refs decision or starts talk about something completely different. Ex. O’Brien gives away stupid free kick. DTS: “oh that’s so cheap, and to be fair to him it was a good move by the Derby player there and O’Brien usually don’t give away those to be fair, and Rowe has been really good there actually to be honest”
2. Brown should never play for us again, how can you be subbed on in the 74th? Minute and get two yellow?
3. Schofield needs a rest, looks scared and it’s a matter of when rather than if he will score an own goal or miss a back pass so it goes in. Holding my breath every time he gets the ball and let it roll until it’s one centimeter from the goal line before he hoofs it with his wrong foot just over the head of the attacker and either out of the stadium or straight to an opposition midfielder

[/quote] Bromby is central to all the problems. I heard today from a very good source that he actually organises much of the training methods, so Carlos getting the flak for all the injuries is a bit unfair. Admittedly he did bring Murderball with him. [/quote]
If this is true @sociallydistant and I appreciate you are posting what you have been told in good faith, then what exactly do Carlos and his three amigo’s do to earn their corn? You’d think moral fibre would suggest Carlos walks from that regime.
It is worrying if Bromby is identifying players and sorting training. Just seems a bit far fetched? But then this is Town. 🤷🏼♂️

In summer, irrelevant of what division we are in, does anyone have faith in Bromby and the transfer committee identifying the right players and getting them into the club ? We are going to need about 10 players when all the out of contract players go. Bromby is central to all the problems. I heard today from a very good source that he actually organises much of the training methods, so Carlos getting the flak for all the injuries is a bit unfair. Admittedly he did bring Murderball with him. I don't think this is correct at all

Time for a change at GK, Schofield confidence is gone and his performances (especially decision making, dealing with crosses and kicking) are getting worse. Aswell tonight, team selection at Def was the most bewildering. Really really bizarre.

On that oerformance im amazed they have acquired 29 points so far. Imagine someone watching us for the first time tonight. They would be amazed we had any points at all I've watched Rotherham quite a few times this season and they ain't a bad side. Not the most talented but work hard as a team. Unlucky not to get a point at either Bournemouth or Norwich. Pick your games and just enjoy as a neutral its far more entertaining than watching same rubbish 3 years on the trot and getting worst. Leeds game was entertaining and not afraid to admit it. Football is supposed to be entertaining at the end of the day. As not renewing season ticket I'll use to the cash to get around different grounds in a 60 mile radius.

I presume neither of those would have fitted into our wage structure and I appreciate that Derby and Forest both have potential financial issues. Do you suppose their fans will care if they're a division higher than us next season. Its not about keeping us on an even keel though financially, he simply cant afford a Championship football club it seems, otherwise he would have bought the club outright. So a deal is conjured up, which has resulted in parachute payments being used to fund it, but still few people will admit that, they would rather believe its all because of Covid. We are run as though we are a League 2 standard club at best. Every transfer window we lose more first team players, and replace them with punts from lower leagues or with ex-players who wanted another pay day from us. He was worked out by the Southport fans at conference level, and they told us exactly what would happen, and they were 100% correct. Now he is 3 divisions higher masquerading as a Championship chairman, and boy, are we paying the price. The more deluded fans, who bought all the bluster that the Southport fans told us not to buy, still think that everyone else will go out of business, and we have loads stored away for a rainy day, so that when we are allowed back in the gorund, we will suddenly start bringing in a quality Championship side. Even if we had identified a striker, we would have probably fucked up the paperwork, or tried to get a few quid discount on the transfer fee, hoping that desperation would force the other club to agree.

Individually they're all not that bad as players but we can't defend as a team. Manager's responsibility.

Do you do that? So, tell me, do you think Schofield, Brown and Duhaney are good enough for the Championship? You obviously must watch lots of games on iFollow or on TV so who do you think Town should be going for in the summer? Judging by the number of likes my posts have got it seems others agree with me..... and not with you. Goodnight

On that oerformance im amazed they have acquired 29 points so far. If the Rotherham fans watched our 'performance' tonight I'm sure they'd be amazed that we've acquired 36 points. I bet they managed a shot on goal in the second half, unlike our bunch of cowards.

Can't wait for Shortbread Pete to come back on and tell us all that we're wrong and that Phil has a masterplan and is not to blame for a single thing. I presume he'll be on soon after he's stopped sucking Phil's cock. We're all disappointed tonight but that is beneath contempt and deliberately offensive agree but what do you expect from some morons on here?

Where are all the wankfesters who were on my case after the Swansea win? The team has zero cohesion. You cannot play a team below you and have ONE shot on target. We have averaged about 3 shots on target per match for 4 years now. Its simply nowhere near enough. I dont care about budgets....shoot, stop pissing about with it (cross it early and take corners more directly) and get some loan strikers in because this is not working.

If this keeper we signed isn't good enough to replace schofield until the end of the season then why the bloody hell did we sign him ? Simply put, cheaper than Hamer. Lietwieler got released by Fleetwood prior to us. Its laughable to think we were in the Prem a couple years back when you look at the squad now.

Goodnight Always had doubts about you being a real Town fan with your bragging of going to Wimbledon games (and other commuter belt shite clubs in Surrey). I lived in Golders Green, Belfast, Hendon and Brentford within a ten year period but stayed loyal to Town despite missing lots of games while miles away from home. You are a true football fan - and huge credit for that. My only interest in soccer is HTAFC.
