    Thought we played well in first half, but we seem to be off the pace altogether in the second. Could this be down to the age of some of our players.

    We really are in need of a winger with pace, and an additional striker, Also if we could have a new mid-field player with some flair we would be a reasonable team.

    From the whole squad we have only Mcneil and Taylor who have the gall - confidence to take a man on , JBG is the only winger I know who never commits an opponent always checks back inside to lay back for Lowton or others , forwards have no pace so don’t worry the opposition , reiterated as well Corks legs have gone we got overrun centrally again second half , missed westy S athleticism, as CIB says we don’t have the quality of footballer to keep the ball when it matters.

    We were honest today but when your playing at this level if you get chances you need to convert them and we don’t , I understand in some ways Dyche loyalty to players and his protection of them , surely he should realise by now we re lacking in a few positions to be competitive.

    I said on many occasions last season and the one before, our right flank is nowhere near EPL quality. Lowton is at best Championship quality (I prefer the 94 year old Bardsley personally) and JBG simply lacks the pace and physicality demanded to excel in the EPL.

    Stan's blind man on a galloping horse can see it, but Dyche for whatever reason can't. It's now pretty obvious we do not have a pot to pi$$ in and a long season is ahead of us.

    Dont just single out Lowton and JBG.IU have said it many times BT-in the current squad there are 4-5 PL standard players at the most.Wood,Mcneil,Tarks,Pope and maybe Taylor.

    I was only alluding to our right flank options CiB, and they are limited to say the least.
