I'm grateful most were not available for selection last season based on that performance we would have been down.

Acid test will be 10 games in, but that showing was a shower.

Cafu tried and was sent off for it.
I don't blame the 'back line' - the CBs were left exposed by a really poor midfield show
Wiles was totally lost and over on the other side, there was a moment when Fred & Haks were stood next to each other, looking like they were going for a stroll, holding hands when the ball landed between them, just inches from either of them - they both shot off down the wing, making the same run into space, leaving the ball for the other to play it forward so a Stoke player nipped in from yards away, took the ball and had the freedom of the pitch as our 2 lads had burst so far forwards, they might as well have been in outer space....
