Had 2 men on him every time he got the ball - average first half - better second - he will be fine - we have much bigger problems

It’s hardly believable how bad he is - basically hid the whole first half - stealing a living off us - disgusting performance from a 20m quid footballer- should be embarrassed with himself

Nothing changes if nothing changes - absolutely pony - always has been and always will be

Every time he gets a chance he is woeful - really poor - should boss that level but got bullied and he can’t progress the ball quick enough - donkey

Incredible

So what did we learn today we didn’t already know … soumare , skipp and thomas are garbage - yep already knew that Ayew works hard and is half decent at holding the ball up but will never score 20 goals - yep we knew that vesty is a poo defender but decent with his feet and infinitely better when he has winks to pass it to - yep knew that winks is very good at this level and should be one of first names on team sheet - must look at the other 2 and cry his eyes out - pretty much new that didn’t we faes is probably our best centre half at this level - Okoli far to slow to progress play and him and vesty as a pairing look like a pair of big donkeys - yep again get soumare out of our club - knew that the wingers will make or break our season - poor first half’s but where coming into great games - knew that monga is going to be very special- we knew that Bek needs to do more with his ability - ditto we desperately need a centre forward and a centre mid if we stand any chance this year - yep we knew that already what will the new gaffer do differently to the previous 2 - well that’s the one we don’t really know yet but I’m taking today as another learning exercise for him - will have quickly realise all the things above that we already know and do something about them - thought his subs were great and shape change apart from the Fatawu for mcateer one - but I’ll give him a pass on that - tried to win the game and ended up winning it - needs to quickly get his head round that first half was simply shambolic because of most of the reasons above - I’m backing him to work it all out quickly

Decent at this level and better than the other 2 - end of

What in the name of sweet Jesus is this - I cannot believe how horrendous that 45 mins of football was - booing at half time wasn’t on my bingo card today but what a shambles we are are - long old season incoming - any gaffer worth his salt whips at least 3 of them off at half time

I reckon he will be in the squad - just gets changed somewhere else doesn’t he

No dislike as such just no blind faith either after watching him for years

Gaffer said so in the presser Friday yea so I’d fully expect him to start - let’s not all start pretending Thomas is any good all of a sudden - JJ would start anyway and definitely will if we are still trying to sell him

Justin and vesty will start instead of faes and Thomas

Going nowhere

Love a gaffer with his own Twitter account actively talking to the fans - this I can get behind - please don’t be sh*t

Whoever’s idea it was to do these short videos with him is doing a good job - instantly makes you feel a connection with him and back with the football club again - he is saying all the right things - let’s hope he is also doing all the right things on the football side in his coaching and management- if so we are in for a great year

If he is fit he starts at left back tomorrow

These are both crap

Be hoping for casadei next - nope and nope

Where’s the presser info ? Anyone seen it? Normally get the full q and a don’t we ?

Yep I think the reality is the whole squad are up for sale - we will get whatever we can in where anyone is wanted and we will go into the season with whatever is left plus the youth plus any last minute loans we can do - fingers crossed everyone stays away from our wingers - they are the difference maker this year to me

Not much different to the Maddison and barnes fees in regards to how far under their value it would have been if we stayed up - I’m afraid that’s the cost of relegation and being run by shambolic fools

And not even a guaranteed starter - however every chance he takes vestys place if we get stuck with him again for another season 🤦‍♂️

I’m not sure he did anywhere near enough last year albeit in a really rubbish team to have suitors at 25m plus

So that’s best part of 30m in and 20m of profit - nobody is coming in for soumare , faes , vesty or daka so we are stuck with them - last remaining questions are on BEK and Justin and if those moves happen - I would guess they aren’t as urgent now with the 3 gone but who knows how bad the situation really is - surely we now make real good use of the loan system - it’s 4 we are allowed isn’t it ? 2 from prem and 2 more from abroad or have I got that wrong ? number 8 and striker are priority with just the 3 gone and then obviously is bek or Justin go we need to fill those 2 gaps as well if you look at the squad with just the 3 gone we have 2 players for every position apart from in centre midfield where we now really only have 4 covering 3 spaces in the team and only bek is attacking - we need another attaching cm no doubt even if bek stays

I am - he is 38 and has no contract anywhere and not getting a penny with that legal bill probably still being paid - add to that he has no proper pre season in him at his age and nobody at all has taken a punt on him - absolute disaster
