You need to go to Specsavers* if you can’t differentiate between “trenches” and “beaches”. * other optometrists are available.
Brighton. End of transfer window, Edwards got carried away thought we had enough and club didn’t question that or insist on strengthening in the key areas needed. Our next home game after that was the beginning of the end.
Everton. We then had to play three extra games in which already exhausted players risked injury and fatigue and then got a morale sapping stuffing against City.

Please explain what you mean and what you said about this at the time.
I don’t for sure but plenty of chat into February that it was his decision, the club had offered money but he didn’t want to “upset the group”.
Also it was the time of #smilegate and that dancing crap and I think he just got carried away.
I think he feels this now too and it’s why he looks so upset.
Had we had an experienced manager there is no way we would be playing near full strength against Bolton twice and leaving two gaps in the squad for two utterly critical positions.
I do agree that it was a bit surprising to see a full strength side play twice against Bolton given how physically and mentally exhausting playing the PL appears to be.
I haven’t read this entire thread so apologies if this is covered but RE did say something along the lines of when he was at Blackpool in their premier league season they brought in too many players in January and that upset the apple cart and contributed towards their relegation. He said he wouldn’t be making that mistake.
So it does sound like money was available but Edwards wasn’t keen to spend it.
January 2024 was the first transfer window in ages that we came out the other side weaker. It also coincided with when we were most attractive to sign for. So we did mess up. There’s elements of hindsight but plenty said this at the time.
I also think the Brighton result was terrible timing as it made us a little over confident in the squad and we were too relaxed in not having to sign players.

If we hadn't had our horrendous run of injuries after that - starting at the subsequent 4-4 game at Newcastle, we wouldn't have got relegated and people wouldn't be rewriting history and retrospectively claiming to have seen it all coming.
The Brighton result being positioned as a negative is mind-boggling mental gymnastics.
But it’s a squad game and NM and TL were never replaced. We had always said our intention was to come out of a transfer window with a stronger squad and in a better place.
I never said it was a bad result but the timing got us too complacent with the squad.
I totally agree we should have strengthened in January but it's pure guesswork on your part saying it was down to RE that we didn't. The fact we've spent fuck all of the PL money on the squad this summer suggests that maybe the decision was made at board level. Either way, we'll never know. In other news I'm very much looking forward to Saturday. Our performances and results can't be poor forever and what better game than against those cunts for us to turn it round.
Or could it simply be that we had signings lined up but agents knew we had cash, interfered which we refused to pander to?
I don't believe for one minute that we got complacent, refused to make any signings, didn't try, etc. as that simply isn't consistent with every previous transfer window since 2020 took custody.
And they could never have predicted the unprecedented string of injuries to key players (which was NOT caused by winning against Everton, even if that did mean extra games.
Would've been so much better if we hadn't won those games ...... taking the argument to its logical conclusion, if only we hadn't got promoted from the Conference, none of what's going so badly wrong now would be happening
It's isn't it when that feeling comes over you. Really threatening and you try to work out what it's to do with......If it's only the footy then that's not so bad.
Hi mate, you sound like you might be struggling, I work with mental health and when you have this feeling of doom try to remember that it is a chemical shift in your brain, usually you are producing less serotonin /dopamine. This may or not be triggered by an event,quite often nothing has changed in your life but you still go on a downward spiral. Try to do things you know you enjoy, do some vigorous exercise, visit green spaces and look very closely at nature, see the beauty in the world. Talk to people close to you about how you are feeling you will be surprised most people have felt the same at some point. If you don't feel better ses your doctor.
Personally don't think we could have a better game to help us turn the corner. The fans will be up for this from the off and that should feed down to the players. We don't have a bad team or manager for that matter. We are lacking self belief. No better cure than a pumped up KR.
I constantly read 'the fans will be up for it' and they will if we play well and/or we are leading. Unfortunately Kenilworth Road is like a mausoleum when things are not going well. Watford and Sunderland as the opposition will guarantee that and abuse will follow.
Get that poster changed to "Luton Town, a new ground and a new future" !
Oh wait,,,,Talbot . Nah, maybe not.
Just get into em. They have let in the first goal in seven of the nine matches they have played. If the first goal doesn't give confidence to those who need it, well,,,, go get a second ! COYH
Fans need to be noisy and intimidating from the off. Regardless of any nervy players or misplaced passes. The fans CAN NOT give up and sit back for this one. If that happens some of our players may fold and we’ll get beat.
