Who could really blame Wilder if he walked?

[Nosmo-King]

How do you know we are accepting mediocrity? If we don't perform, and we haven't so far in our seven games, and if we are in the same position in October, then perhaps I'll have a moan. However, the squad we have should be good enough to challenge for the play offs imho. If we don't then we should challenge the players we have to perform better?

BecauseOtto, there’s plenty of posters on here willing to accept the squad as it is - and argue against those who saw 3 incomings as a necessity rather than a hopeful wish. 1 win in 7 - no matter how much is attributed to bad luck it simply isn’t good enough. Promotion talk is, frankly laughable and only backed by wild hope and optimism.

It takes two sides to do business, not one. You can't sign players that a club doesn't want to sell or players who don't want to come here.

It doesn't matter who says what, and more fool those who take so much notice of what's been said in order to sell tickets.

The only issue If importance here is the relative strengths of the other teams in our division. Have we strengthened in comparison to those, such that we can challenge the top six? I don’t think so.

Wilder would need to be as big a baby as some of the posters on here to flounce off after not quite getting everything he wanted

We shouldn't have been targeting a loan signing to compete with a 34 year old who's out of contract in the summer in the first place.

We should have been making a permanent signing with a view to replacing him.

We especially shouldn't have been leaving it until the last few days of the window to try and sort.

Agree, but this is a different discussion about the transfer window rather than the last few days. Looks like we wasted time trying to sign as many forwards as possible and neglected an enormous problem area - CM.

We tried to loan a £9m CM from a PL club and an injury scuppered it late in the day. Sums our start to the season up.

But how we couldn't pick up 2 players to provide cover/competition for the CMs -
