There was a similarity with Ayew, the way he fell over after scoring the 4th. Although, obviousky Ayew would have fallen over instead of scoring the 4th... or the 1st, 2nd, 3rd or 5th.

It seems to me there was no attempt to improve the squad this window, it was just one in, one out for players who have left or who are injured for a while: - Lascalles for Faes Aribo for Soumare Mukasa for James Richards for Ramsey Our management clearly think the squad is good enough!

Wow, that much?

They probably assumed the window slams shut at 11pm!

30 year old left winger who plays in League 2, sounds like just what we need!

Compare the characters on that pitch to what we have now, it's heartbreaking. That lot would have run through walls for Pearson. now they can hardly break into a walk for the manager.

I remember thinking exactly this when Peter Taylor came in.

Millwall who are pushing for a playoff place? You wouldd have to ask the same question again, why would he want to come here? Previously when we were in the Championship you could have said because we had higher potential and a better budget. That is no longer true. We are a less appealing club than Millwall!!

I wonder if Winks was out because he told Cifuentes he was sh*t. He might actually play for another manager.

78 years old, currently advising Torquay!

There won't be any, but there never was going to be!

They'll dump it on Andy King because he's here and they won't have to pay someone else to do the same job. I feel sorry for him if it happens. You know he won't want to turn it down even if he should.

...but would he go for us?

How many of that Southampton defense did we sign? Remind me.

Would this bunch of players respect or even fear King? The younger players might, but they are not the problem. Is King the sort of person who can motivate them?

This is one of the things that annoys me most, there is no imagination to try something different. If inverted wingers are not working then switch them. If Ayew drops deep then who is running beyond him. Ayew and Daka are not scoring then try Mavididi, use a false nine. It might not work, but at least it might cause the opposition to stop and think.

Cifuentes froze out Thomas for a couple of games, but decided to use our best CB as Left Back.

I agree with this, if you don't have the players then you can make up for it with hard work and good organisation. I just had a look at a replay of Oxford's second goal with a view from behind our goal. Before the break all of our players drifted over to our left and no one covered the break by 3 of their players. It makes me think that the last substitutions were a panic move and there was no plan as to the responsibilities of the players on the pitch. I get that he threw everything at getting an equaliser, but it lef Louis Page as our only central midfielder and he was pushing up to supprt the attack as well.

This is the problem, as a 17 year old in his first full season he should be able to rely on the experienced professionals around him and should be supported by him. We shouldn't have to rely on him to replace our most influential player of the season (James). He is doing amazingly well given the circumstances.

Chouhary and Page.

Do you think he's trying to get the sack to get the payoff?

Harsh, given how much better than us they were.

4 points off the playoffs, 9 off 2nd... and 13 from relegation places!

Corrected for you.
