Has Mmaee touched the ball yet? If he is the answer, what is the question? How do you spell Mwaee? |

Tchamadeu and Mahoef have been our best players today. Is there another Tchamadeu on the pitch cos you can't be talking about Junior |

Men against boys - as simple as that in being overpowered all over the pitch. Our obvious lack of physicality compared to other Championship Teams has been a glaringly obvious factor to our failings over the last few years. The one attribute that defined us during more successful times. Indeed, men against boys. I would add our tactical ability, flexibility, counter ability. It's really poor. Our intellectual play is shite too. I can't tell you who our architects are if Junho doesn't play. |

Maybe Bosun will carry the threat of 10 men! ... other than that it's more featherweight pussys. |

Just trying to glance at his stats last season and they look bang average/poor - defending and attacking I think he's a tall Joe Allen personally, who doesn't look after the ball as well I hope he's given a chance as deeper or box-to-box and then we can argue again 😊 I'm defo biased though, think he comes across as a really likable chap and really enjoyed his good matches last season. Ah defo not arguing, and he does seem likeable. I would just prefer someone who can do the basics well and hold a position in that DM role. I think (hope) Lawal does that! |

Tchamadeu and Mahoef have been our best players today. Is there another Tchamadeu on the pitch cos you can't be talking about Junior Tchamadeu has been absolute gash. Along with 9 other players. Manhoef has tried but has no one on his wave length today |

When was the last half that was this shit?
I'm really fucking grumpy. This load of wankers ruined a day that was going brilliantly.
(Manhoef and Bae excepted. And the other subs)

Not going to be easy to get Bae and Koumas in the same team, but they both look very good.

I'm not shitting my pants just yet. The performance hasn't been as bad as the scoreline and the reaction suggests. Fuck knows what happened from 46-60 but that's where we lost this.

Disappointing but It’s only game 2 True that. I just hope it focuses the minds of the highers up that this team needs some serious reinforcing and not just kids on loan. |

Keeper has had a stinker 🤦♂️ It was deflected… I wasn’t necessarily referring to the 3rd goal. More his overall performance. He looked shaky today having looked so composed last week |

We nearly always get bullied by Watford and today seems to be no different. A very rude awakening, but hopefully a lesson well learned. The squad is still well off where it needs to be to compete at the top end of the division.

The really concerning thing is how easily they have beaten us. Really never extended themselves. Their full backs have been immense. They play with wingbacks lol, as if that matters. |

It finished 24 shots to 8. I think that goes down as a 'tatering.
Back to the drawing board methinks.

That’s as bad a second half as I have probably ever witnessed. First half was even. Have to hope it was just a bad day and possibly means we seriously move in strengthening as this was a big wake up call. |

Men against boys - as simple as that (overpowered all over the pitch). Watford always overpower us. We never learn... bring back the land of the giants to stoke. |

Way too many spineless bottle jobs in that starting 11. Fuck me.
Got to hope Lawal is mustard and we sign a quality striker before the window shuts otherwise we’re fucked.

It mattered quite a bit today, as we played with fullbacks and were slaughtered in the 2nd half! |

Disappointing but It’s only game 2 Exactly...3 points from a win and a loss is better than being undefeated with 2 draws... We WILL be much better come the end of the window |
