THE MESSAGE boards are throbbing with discontent, Moyes is keeping his mouth shut as he scours the market, and our chairman's protestations seem hollower by the day.
It remains worrying and gloomy times for blues at the moment.
And while the doom and gloom merchants attract criticism from the cup-half-full types - they have a point.
We've all tried to pick a team and bench for Saturday, and whatever combo you come up with - it ain't good.
Everton remains only a serious injury to a first team player away from a full-blown crisis. But, I suppose we can moan about it ad infinitum - or try and stay focussed on smaller obstacles - i.e. Blackburn.
Rovers are beatable - even by the side which will trot out on Saturday. So, three points come 5pm on Saturday will be the best tonic we can hope for.
It will also buy us crucial time for the club to strengthen until August 31 looms.
If we haven't recruited in quaility and quantity by then, the September 3 EGM will be potentially explosive (and it's going to be a heated one anyway).

Greg,
It’s definitely more than a little scary, my head is throbbing with the worries of mid table mediocrity.
The usual pre-season punditry of the former glorious footballers with guesses of where teams will end up when the premiership shakes down in May '09 tends to have us (Everton) placed at or below 10th.
As of yet I’ve not seen the young guns perform, and although I’m more than a little worried at the lack of signings it may well be the likes Baxter, Gosling and co who will be filling in the holes left by miss-managed transfer dealings.
Moyes has faith, he’ll need it because only the best will do, and our threadbare squad I have no doubt will give it their best. Good luck for the weekend lads, as ever I’ll be there, but for this season with everything crossed.
