I’d say we’re jinxed but when you’ve signed a team full of crocks it’s blatant negligence, shambles

How much longer before people start questioning the management tactics

Pish poor 1st half. Lethargic, aimless, scared to pass forward. Tactics were awful. Sick of 1000 passes sideways to end up hoofing it forward. 2nd half better, but that miss from Walker was awful. 2 subs getting injured sums up the night.
At least Cameron battled and scrapped up top when he came on

We've got talented players trouble is too many lightweights who aren't up for a fight it's going be a long season, when we do go forward we never look like scoring, defensively it's a shambles, set pieces awful!

Just seen the Walker miss replayed. Looks worse each time you see it. Harder to clear the bar than stick it in from that distance

On the second half showing we probably deserved a point. Walkers miss was poor. The injury list is not getting any better be lucky to have a full bench on Saturday.

An absolute farce of a night, to be honest. Last 30 minutes was slightly better but I struggle to see what the plan is other than get the ball to Barkhuizen and see what he can do. Defensively we are error prone and nowhere near as solid as seasons gone by, recipe for disaster given we only seem to have two fit strikers.

I understand we have to take risks on signings but you have to wonder what due diligence has been applied in Healey's case given he didn't even last 5 minutes.
Popular side since '03.

Not really it should have been at least 3 nil before that walker chance, don't let that mask an absolutely shocking 50 minutes, it was shambolic and Whing must be fuming because that was totally unacceptable!

Well there wasn't room for Kouyate who the commentators said was now fit, so that will help with the bench.

Strange game. If you look at the stats we could be considered unfortunate not to get a point, having watched the actual game we could have easily been 4-0 down and not had any complaints.

I just really hope Whingy doesnt try to paper over the cracks and says it how it is, questions need to be asked of signing injury prone players who cant even complete 10 minutes on the field, and the absolutely bizarre tactics that are really not working, I know we need to "gel" but that first half we looked like a team who had never touched a ball in their life! And these are top players being paid good money.
