Nothing summarises just how bad our summer window was by two affordable and signable Premier League loanees, both in positions we probably needed to strengthen, scoring against us for 5th placed Blackburn Rovers. #LTFC #Rovers

Also Ross Barkley winner in the UCL to put Villa third, what a bloke.

Much improved over the 90. There’s still a few things I could say to the negative but there’s little point tonight, need to enjoy the win because it’s been a depressing six weeks.

Looking forward to bit more of an upbeat @oakroadhatter.com pod 🙌🏼 #LTFC #COYH

Looked pretty dire before we went 1-0 down, then much improved for the rest of the half. Still lots to improve but at least we looked to move the ball a bit quicker with a bit more intent.

Wonder if they kept the Covid cardboard cutouts, got room for a few tonight #LTFC

Then you recruit to solve that. The club went into the Burnley game with four unavailable CBs (3 injuries, 1 health), one new CB who was on loan in L1, three full backs who could do a job if needed, and Mengi who they knew needed surgery.

Signed McGuinness too late and probably should’ve got more.

Like a lot of other people have said: then you don’t play him until he gets it fixed.

In isolation you might not think the Mengi misjudgement is bad, but it isn’t in isolation.

Doughty v Cardiff, Andersen v Plymouth, Bell v Villa. Three very eye-opening examples of what have been pretty bad medical misjudgements.

You can’t be allowing your key CB to go against medical advice.

‘Freak accident’ apparently…

100% - and if the board don’t realise that we’re not at huge risk of relegation if it continues then I fear the worst.

If having Doughty, Mengi, Walters, Burke, and maybe now Bell out doesn’t make Rob change from a back 5 to a back 4, then he just never will.

Time to stop the stubbornness and back your academy prospect JJ to play LB rather than shoehorn Moses in at LWB.

Pretty desperate performance that. Devoid of any ideas, no willingness to change things up, and only one team looked like winning it (not us).

Used only two subs and both were injury-enforced and like-for-like. It’s becoming incredibly difficult for anyone to defend it anymore imo. #LTFC #COYH

Edwards’ interview is actually refreshing tbf. The issues were never was just his fault, and the players need to take accountability for subpar performances.

It’s too little too late and won’t be enough to save his job, but it’s about damn time. #LTFC

The thing is, no matter what side of the Edwards debate you’re on, he’s currently keeping his job because of 1-0 home wins to Hull (22nd) and Cardiff (21st), and that for a fact is totally uninspiring. #LTFC

I’m sorry but rather than play Bell LWB and Moses RWB, he’s playing Moses LWB and Burke RWB??

Does anyone want to try and defend that or are we all agreeing that that’s insanity?

Introduce yourself with four footballers.

Looking forward to getting back to podding after a week’s break following England.

First (albeit not memorable) was March 2001 - Bristol Rovers at home (0-0 draw). First I truly remember though was when we beat Halifax Town 5-0 later that year.
