True, but my point is that the focus here has come onto him yet there are several other players who deserve criticism well before him.

(Chick, my reply wasn't meant to be quoting you it was meant as a stand alone post)

Ok I'll be specific and this is just my opinion

Robson. Good enough.
Bolton. Good enough.
Neilson, nope, not from what I've seen of the boy so far, looks good going forward but unfortunately not defending.
Harkes, nope, looks out of his depth. He might change my opinion if he gets a creative partner. Unpopular opinion I imagine.
Butcher, getting found out
Pawlett, not the answer
Chalmers, not ready, may be ok with better players around him
Appere, can only function as a foil for another striker, ie Shankland
Clark, being asked to do a job he's not suitable for. See Appere.

It's only one bad defeat but the opinion above is based on all the games so far not just today. We need additions.
