    Those type of results are called upsets for a reason. Since when do we use anomolies as a benchmark?

    Personally, a hammering is exactly what I expected. Put in a lackluster display against Oldham and i'd probabaly be more concerned.

    Beginning to worry that 'Bowyer knows football'.

    Great consistent sort, but just couldn't find that win in its latter years... Was it a Nunthorpe winner a couple of times?

    what a load of tosh again - Bowyer needs to book his ideas up now and give us something to celebrate.

    8 of the worst squad in the EFL pumped by a Championship side.

    No, it shouldn't be a surprise.

    Come on, I’m a fan not a bleedin scout. Said about Palmer that I knew nothing about him (unlike others that claimed he was a great signing), so why would I give you names.

    That’s the job of our head coach and his back room team....!

    I do agree with you about Doyle though and the fact Bowyer has failed to address the midfield problem or bringing in players for his preferred formation

    Yes, one of the years was when it was run at another track during the redevelopment period at York. I used to back him in handicaps at York and then when he won the Stewards' Cup at Goodwood. As you say, in the latter stages he lost his way, but what tremendous flag bearer for the north he was!

    They aren't Bowyer signings any more than David Wetherall was a Stuart McCall signing.

    The players we are thinking about aren't going to be released in pre-season by their clubs.....they are the younger fringe players and the transfer window only closed for the championship clubs last week. Teams at that level have had fluid transfer activity up to now but now should know how they are stocked until January, so there will be more movements.

    All loans are a gamble but we've had our fair share of decent ones over the years. In our predicament we've just got to hope we end up with another Reece Burke or Josh Cullen standard player ( but in midfield) and not one of the garbage ones!

    Bowyer hinting that Scannell may well start on Saturday, in post match interview. Suggests he has been nursing him through pre-season and early stages of season

    He renewed their contracts, he didn't sign them.

    It's irrelevant, but claiming they're Bowyer signings is stretching it. Pointlessly so, too, because there are enough new signings to judge without resorting to looking at cheap young kids he kept on.

    So Gibson isn't good enough even though he's done ok but P. O'connor is excellent and should be the first name on staurdays team sheet? Based on what? Tonight. The logic of some of our fans is laughable. Literally pick on a couple of players and blame the overall team performance on them. It's the same people begging Rupp for more money on social media. Embarrassing.

    Donaldson managed a whole 2 goals last season by the way. Based on his last two performances I can see why. It's fine though because he wins headers.
