We probably need 2 strikers. Neither of ours are good enough to play premier league football.

I don’t know how you fix that with what we have on the bench.

I think we probably have to go two up top at least. Didn’t work well against Brentford though.

Almost no positives that half. Just Pickford keeping us in it barely. 1 nil feels like a mountain for this lineup.

Moyes gets more of a say in transfers than most managers in the PL

No excuses for him imo

Push 20 yards higher, crowd the midfield and squeeze the pitch. Been a really poor first half for a cup game.

A couple of half decent performances with Patterson and Armstrong, but only just decent. The rest have really done nothing and no point in even mentioning Dibling. The more I watch him the more worried I am that we have a dud on our hands. The absolute minimum he should be doing is running around like a fucking maniac and try to influence the game. Put some aggression into the game with a desire to want to win. I just see nothing from him.

Our summer transfer business looks worse and worse with each passing game.

Good call.

Can't imagine he picked anyone but KDH.

Well we went hell for leather in our search for a right back.

Tried to get Tete.

Then when that fell through there apparently wasn't another RB anywhere in the entire stratosphere of football that we apparently could have signed

We just bought a load of individuals that didnt fix any of the teams problems. On top of that most of them are actually a bit crap too

So did most of our players

Can't even get annoyed, most of our team are just beyond poor. McNeil's drop off (and it's not like he was brilliant) has been crazy.

To be fair, so did our players.

Awful half. I know we have plenty of players out, but that's no excuse for some of that - awful defending in the box for their goal, such a soft effort. Absolutely nothing going forward - Beto was only given a couple of opportunities to show us how bad his first touch is.

Dibling needs games, just at a lower level. Even with games Patterson will never improve. Garner a ghost. We'd be 3 down without Pickford.
