Matteo I applaud your optimism, but we could be dead and buried come January..!!

The very least we needed to do today is to sign a right back - Ward and Kelly are woeful at this level..!!

I don't think this outpouring of disgruntlement would have been anywhere near what it is if we had signed a half decent right back in this window - and the most irking thing is that we had 5/6 weeks to do it..!!

Look everyone is looking for goalscorers and it's an absolute lottery with ridiculously over inflated prices for anyone even half decent - I get that..!!

But not signing a replacement for AWB is just unbelievable/not acceptable.

It's blindingly obvious we have no money I'm just really struggling to understand the logic given the perceived financial constraints of signing 2 central midfielders a position where we were reasonable OK but no right back - it just doesn't make sense..!!

Does anyone know do we have a promising right back in the u23's -it's the only plausible answer..!!

It's not okay ... we've seen nothing happen to strengthen the squad where we need it most.

We know what we're up against in the coming weeks but once again, we have to keep our fingers crossed and hope there are three weaker teams than ours.

We don't need a big new stand in the Championship!

Denial is not just a river in Egypt

I don't ever remember being more disappointed with a transfer window.

Not signing a striker is pretty bad but the lack of cover at fullback is criminal.

Sick and tired of the constant Wilf saga - I would have almost been glad to see him go this window but then I wonder if we would have actually invested any of the fee in replacing him?

Something is seriously wrong at the club and after over 50 years of supporting them it just makes me sad.

Most of all though I feel sorry for the players, especially the new signings who to be fair aren't terrible. They must be wondering what the hell is going on.

If the financial situation is as dire as the evidence seems to suggest perhaps it might have been better if the Board actually came out and said so. Maybe a bit more communication might have helped - we might not like what we hear but at least then we could have an understanding of why certain decisions have been made.

Some people think football is a matter of life and death. I don't like that attitude. I can assure them it is much more serious than that.

We recieved FIFTY MILLION pounds for our incredible world class youth graduate Aaron Wan-Bissaka. It has been a complete joke we have not signed a replacement and that Joel Ward is our only right back. So I take it Parish has a free signing right back on loan sorted out?? We certainly haven't spent much of the 50 mill so where has it gone? We are a London club that have been on the league a good amount of years and we are a joke. Smaller clubs are building better teams. I'm fed up.

We could of given the youth many chances Roy doesn't want to.

Aaron only got a chance due to so many injuries otherwise he would of left the club.
