Might as well give up on this season now

I really don't understand why people put their money into football clubs. People are so ungrateful for what Bloom has done. We lose a game of football and suddenly it's Blooms fault for not spending enough. Why do people expect him to give his hard-earnt cash to a football team?

Funny really, I don't see Andy Naylor and Gus Poyet getting 90 responses flaiming them for effectively coming out and saying our promotion bid is entirely dependant on the next week of transfer activity...

Typical NSC dullards.

Just had a quick read through this thread and I saw NO ONE "flaiming" you for the idea that we need to sign a couple of players (if we want to go up). Only having a go at your needlessly provocative way of putting it, which you do on purpose, presumably so you can play the victim in posts like this.

Personally I don't completely agree with Poyet's comments yesterday - firstly I'd much rather sign a winger than a striker, a really top striker would be nice, another backup/competition player would be useful, but we currently have ONE winger and are playing Ashley Barnes as the other (sort of). Also I don't agree with his claims we need to sign a midfielder or that we've lost three or four players. We've lost one player, Navarro, and while that's a shame Kishishev has looked good in the holding role and we have a few other midfield options. We haven't lost Greer and Sparrow, they will be back in a week or two.

I wonder if they'll change the tune re Barnes?

That's a good question, I am most concerned for their welfare, I do hope they're OK

I am not saying that it is but the fact remains that come May we may well be saying about the 2 points dropped at home to Rochdale and the possible dropped point yesterday which would have deprived Wednesday of 2 points.

Screw May, it's November tomorrow and we're already thinking about what could have been if we didn't drop those points

worth a bounce for laughs.

...unless Bloom gets his chequebook out and spends money. Proper money, not just shitty trialists from Luxembourg who have a good first touch.

No wideman.
No no pace.
No much talked about "20 goal a season striker"

But most alarmingly of all today, we showed NO strength in depth.

Our subs bench:

Cook, Baz, Battipiedi, Hart, Holroyd, Walker.

What a shambles of a bench. We never looked like scoring, and had NOTHING on the bench to change things. Two suspensions and we're down to the bare bones. We ordinarily would have played 5 in midfield with Glenn up top away from home against a better team like Sheffield, but we were handicapped into playing Barnes as the only other midfielders are unproven argies plucked from a Ryman's league equivalent who can't even speak the language.

No signings, no hope of play-offs. Simple as that. If we haven't got the signings in in ten days time, then to be honest, there's every chance we'll be battling against relegation rather than promotion.

Pretty football is great, and we're clearly a much more entertaining side now, but it's pointless if we haven't got the squad to back it up.
