They've been so shocking he's probably making a point of keeping them on the pitch so they can at least try to keep a clean sheet this second half.

I wonder how long it will be till people start going: 'players need the time to adapt and change style, gel, etc.'

I would be sensible and start saying that, but why bother fight the tide of moronic and mindless abuse of the manager and certain players. Abuse is more in vogue and I like to keep in fashion.

What a shambles. We're paying big time for lack of pre-season preparation, new signings being unavailable, the nonsense of using Oakley as our supposedly retentive midfielder, and failing to deal with the worst problem of all - trying to fit a backline of relatively pedestrian non-footballing spoilers into an intended passing team.

What Sousa needs to realise is that a ood coach has to adapt the tactics suited to his available players rather than expecting every group opf players to perform to a pre-set manner of playing. If Sousa wants to pass the ball, fair enough, I'm all for it. But, as I mentioned last wek, our team is not a cohesive unit all moving forwards and backwards together.

The manager is playing theory football and seems to be getting what he deserves. Of course Andy King is out best attacking/goalscoring central midfielder, but he's also our best man in front of the defence and away from home, with our new signings missing, and our back line always likely to be exposed when left on their own King is much more needed as the outlet in front of defence.

It seems too that we're being absolutely suckered on the break partly because of the weakness which was so apparent against Sunderland - our failure to close down quickly enough and fail to recover fast enough when attacks have broken down. How King will be missed in this way because he never watched the ball but always watched the danger.

The first quarter of the season is going to be a painful act of faith because the sort of transition Sousa wants to make requires the personnel to do it. And we don't have defensively from anything I've seen yet.

I'd probably take more notice of this if it was our 10th/12th game......
