We were naieve to think the Coventry was positive. The performance was woeful, disjointed at best.
We still after all these years look toothless going forward.
Thomson and Gooch aren’t good enough to be playing where they are every week. Burger seems to have caught the Stoke disease of getting worse after he joins. He’s being played far too high.
We need a physical RW desperately and another CB. Otherwise we could do with Gallagher getting fit asap.
We look and feel like a new disjointed side again.

What's the Danish word for howlers? 😂 I doubt Viktor knows either considering he's Swedish 😂 That explains it... 😂 Swedes |

Why not play him in his position for a bit first? 🤔 Where's that? What's he good at? He can't even hold a position anyway - just runs around like a mad man and loses the ball I thought he looked loads better as the deeper guy who was allowed to roam a bit and shuttle the ball up the field and pick passes. Sitting lad next to him and see if he can recreate some of last season's magic. |

We have a nice young promising attacking team. But we need some players with a bit of steel, get bullied against teams like Watford with beasts in midfield Lawal sounds like he he'll help. Bae is also more of a battler than he looks. I don't think we'll get blasted like this every week. Laurent should really be physical but he’s an absolute fanny |

Unless the team is strengthened in no small measure, it is more likely that we will be hovering around the bottom part rather than the top part of the table. So many players who aren’t good enough at this level. Tchamadeu, Thompson, Tezgel, Wilmot. The whole bench is less than inspiring (I’m assuming Bae will be starting). Let’s see but early signs are not too good Bae..Lawal…Moran will all add some I hope needed quality, some people need calm down a bit in all aspects 🔴⚪️ |

I don’t think we’ve won one first contact on any of our corners and not a single flick on when the ball has been played forwards. We have been absolutely bullied all over the park. We are timid and have allowed them to dominate us. This is back to the worst of last season.

People who think we aren’t in for a tough time this season are in cloud cuckoo land.
We can’t score goals and we can’t defend. Recipe for disaster.

It was positive because even though we weren't great, we found a way to win and keep a clean sheet when in recent years we would've lost the game. Today has been a shambles but let's not completely overreact. If we're this bad next week against West Brom then it might be time to start to worry a bit. |

You're making fun of people, but presumably you're watching the same game? It's totally unacceptable today like much of last season. What's he meant to do with the squad he's been given though? We need players in and out and that is all out of his hands. He won with a shit hand last week and has lost with a shit hand this week. If some of our players can only play half hour then he can't start them, his hands are tied |

Alex Neil would be hung at Hanley park for that.
Just saying.

Have we created a single overload on either side all game? Seemed to be where we did well against Coventry.

Biggest issues on todays performance have been
Johansson - Though I still think he’s decent
Junior - Total calamity of a player
Bocat for the 2nd. Though I think he’s OK.
All 3 CMs have been poor. Laurent having one of his couldn’t care less performances
Gooch - 0 quality
Tezgel - Just not ready yet. Way to lightweight
The only player coming out of this performance with any credit is Million who’s looked lively.
Hopefully a bad day at the office but very worrying the way we’ve collapsed 2nd half.

The really concerning thing is how easily they have beaten us. Really never extended themselves.
Their full backs have been immense.

We have been very poor second half. We don't seem to carry any threat whatsoever.

Wilmot and Laurent need to disappear. I've defended Thompson before but him too. We've been close to relegation for a number of seasons and these players have been there throughout. You think Wilmot and Thompson are the standout disasters today? Wow, I must be watching a different game No over time they are absolutely garbage. |

Why do we keep on lifting balls up to midgets up front? Just so very poor.

We look exactly the same as we have for 3 seasons. I don't see us looking like a team at all. Energy? Ambition? Style of play? Tempo? Tactics? Transfers? He will already be putting the blame on the players. This won't go well will it? |

Wouldn't go that far but we're in a log jam aren't we? He's gone back down the road of inverted full backs when it didn't work last season and shock horror, it isn't this season either. He clearly doesn't learn and it's just Jones' diamond reborn as something else. Can we not just have a sensible manager playing sensible football? The amount of space afforded to Watford has been nothing short of criminal. It’s a disgrace to lose in such a manner. Midfield has been shocking and the full backs pretty woeful as well. |

Junior is the big concern for me Cobs, just doesnt seem to bring any confidence to the side. Laurent well.....not a lot to say (apart from didnt Watford want to buy him?) |
