What i dislike the most about him is the way he evaluates players. How has he come in and decided to sit Ricardo Pereira of all players on the bench? Why have we signed BDR and Ayew? Skipp look OK (maybe?) but £20 million pounds for him is ludicrous. Okoli an unused option on the bench already. Ben Nelson and Will Alves not being given a sniff. It's all just so terrible.

Can't complain honestly. This is just what we are after half a decade of some of the worst management in english football. Rudkin out.

Ayew on the freekick I could have done better.

Chants of "we are going down". This season is going to be very messy.

Ayew with the touch of a trampoline. So called ball retention expert

Would rather a draw.

He's been shocking.

He offer's less than nothing, every time he touches the ball he gives it away to the other side. If he was an academy player we would be talking about him needing a league one loan to develop.

Tear up Cordova Reid contract please. Awful player.

Faes

Can see him leaving before the end of the window. I don't care what other people say he is miles better than Justin and Kristiansen, there is no reason to not start him.

Can Cooper just skip the next 3-4 games and realise that Bobby Reid is not good enough already?

The fact we have a better player on the bench to accommodate him is truly laughable.

We have spent too much money over the last 5 years to be this shit. Surely this is Rudkin's last season?

From watching them play Mavididi and Mcateer look like better players than Cordova Reid. Maybe this turns out to be wrong but it's only competition when the players start over each other on merit. It feels like Cordova Reid is starting because he's the manager's pick, not because he's the best option and it is leaving us worse off as a team.

Ayew is on the bench.

Hopefully I'm wrong but it feels like the signing of Cordova Reid has made us weaker. I cant help but feel we would have been better off had we never signed him and just played Mavididi/Mcateer.

Sadly Monga and Nyoni would be as close to the first team at clubs like Liverpool, Arsenal, Man United as they would be with us and they are far bigger and better. The only way we can keep a hold of these talents is to guarantee gametime but the whole way the club is run is that our youth players have to beat the odds to get a chance.

Mate have you forgotten our financial issues? Even if we somehow manage to stay up this season we will get a points deduction because we are spending silly fees on players like Ayew.

£5mil with £3mil in add ons for a 2 year deal

£8mil for a 2 year deal

Considering what's happened so far this summer I'm not getting my Hope's up until he's got an announcement video. Knowing Rudkin this is a smokescreen for the return of Jeffry Schlupp.

Too far to suggest that he is already better than Bobby Reid?

That would be my preferred XI though. Ricardo has more quality on the ball than either Skipp or Ndidi and is quite good defensively as well.
