We spunked 20m on this bloke....

Let's not compare. He looks a very competent player, great pass, looks to advance play, shields the ball well. Bit lightweight yes but that side can be worked on. For me arguably our best player on the day.

Nacho will be busy today in training, putting away chances and generally looking sharp. Only to then back it up with a non-existent 60 minutes against Pool tomorrow...almost guaranteed.

Desperate....

Palace will be difficult to beat again. Good side at this level outside the usual suspects.

Ricardos game is front foot. Can the Simpson brigade please join Warnocks Cardiff. Embarrassing our lot, move on...

England priority for now but just hope he doesn't pick up a niggling groin injury that keeps him out the opening few games for us, particularly without any decent plan b available.

The club have got this week in reality to decide Puels future. Player targets are being identified and talks starting in numerous areas. If we are in any doubt we need to resolve quickly either way. Big summer awaits.

Why would you loan him to a championship side when he can clearly compete at this level? A genuine find with lots of potential. Keep him with the first team and he'll be involved enough for us I'm sure.

Whilst he looks a promising player, Ndidi will do the same thing but better - at least whilst he's with us. When will we see a wide youngster come along who wants to take someone on, has a shift of pace etc?

Tricky one. Owners will want to show support and solidarity for what was a very low key appointment. However, results and performances have tailed off considerably which can't be ignored. There is no need to keep or dismiss based on league opportunities. Well be beaten presumably in all 3 remaining fixtures so is it easier to make the call then, on a worse picture? Or, they truly believe in the guy and are happy to give him the chance to build. For me doesn't have enough charisma to succeed the role let alone abject performances.

Sick of saying it, our first halves are dreadful. It sets the tone. The fear is a much wider problem at club than just Puel. Number of players need to move on, signings not worked etc. Feel for the next boss, gonna be a tough job.

Poor touch, clumsy, mis timed jumps. Slim is back...

Anymore being said about the Tigers making an approach for Puel?

No I can't.
