This is easily our worst performance yet.The team selection was bewildering.The spot kick routines especially corners are bordering on the comical.Passing was way off.Second best in every department against a team that has been struggling.Our heads go down as soon as the opposite team scores.
Depressing way to go into the international break.VK has his work cut out.
Couldn't agree more with your comments.
Overall the squad remains talented but lacking in experience in all areas.
Team selections continue to baffle me also.
I appreciate the fact that the fixture list wasn't the kindest; but the management cannot use that as an excuse anymore.
Some of the signings OShea,Dellcroix,Trafford etc simply dont inspire confidence.
On present form the only way the team will survive is if Sheffield,Bournemouth and Luton continue to fare worse-my concern is that on todays showing we will struggle to beat any of them!
I agree.We seem to have gone backwards from last season to me.Quote:

From what I have seen so far the only new players who are showing promise are Koleosho, Tresor and Odabert.For me Dellcroix, Berge, O`Shea and Amdouni have been a dissapointment.
****tt happens
Seems we can't play second halves and like to give goals away just before half time
Is it time for Muric to return ? Trafford can’t have much confidence.
Seemed like a re-run of the Spurs game alf. Early lead surrendered and then blown away in the second half. We can do better (and I still think we will) but we are shipping an average 2.5 goals per game so it is clear where the work needs to be done.Quote:

I cannot understand why we didnt sign Bellis Howell (although strangely whilst being linked to a number of Premier League clubs he ended up at Southampton on loan)Quote:

If fit I would like to see Ekdal and Al-Dakeel in defence and Beyer in midfield (give the team more steel and drive)
Trafford situation was similar to when we had Hart in goal, and in desperation Heaton was re-introduced-the back four improved-perhaps its time for Muric?
Why drop Roberts too?-Vitinho simply cannot "cut it" at right back.
