He needs to be doing a lot better because he's yet to demonstrate why we paid good money for his services. I was expecting to see some stand out performances with him playing a major role for us but he's been a huge disappointment. Him and Fellows are both underwhelming and should be shining in games at this level. We need them to massively up their output because they should be two talents who we can rely on but right now they are both missing in action.

A passenger in the squad who is stealing a living especially as we have guys in the U21s who could do a better job. Hope we send him back in January because he's a waste of a squad number and I think he could well be pissing off some of his team mates with his half hearted approach. Get rid because we can and need to do so much better.

Think a lot of results are proving this is quite a poor Championship with no real stand-out sides. It's still relatively early but every side seems to be slipping up in games you'd expect them to win. If a team can show some consistency and put a run of wins together they will likely pull away from the pack but, as it stands, the first two spots are far from obvious and many sides can consider themselves in contention.

Just watched the highlights. Blatant penalty at the end not given. That's two now in recent games.

Tend to agree.

Yeah, I'd be giving Princewill a chance because currently the bar he needs to be higher than is very low and he might just rise to playing at a higher level. He's not a young lad at 21 so give him a try.

Agree, too much horizontal passing - it's vertical passing that gets you up the field quickly and efficiently.

Agree. It's a partnership with no chemistry.

Think the money went to Villa 🙂

Agree but when you have a 4 point deduction you can't afford to lose to poor sides like Preston. We should be sat 2 points clear less the -4 which would have looked much healthier. It's a huge opportunity missed because once again we came out too lethargic.

Good sides don't look at or worry about what others are doing - they just relentlessly keep winning. Today was nowhere near good enough against a struggling side who offered not much more than fight and grit. We should be putting teams like that away every time.

We did.....in the first half.

Thy have conceded 30 goals and we couldn't even manage one 🙂

Needs to be that last performance of its kind. That was horrendous.

Wouldn't score if we played for another week.

Bad way to go into the International break.

Should have been two halfs like that but with goals.

Not happening.

Least Boro only drew 0-0 and again failed to score without Lankshear.

I think he has a bit of credit in the bank but it is a worrying trend.

Game was lost in first half.

Blew it with such an abject first half - can't keep on doing that.

Guess we were due an absolute shocker where everyone expected a comfortable win. Often the games that bite you on the arse.

Not getting anything today. Think they'll hang on now and take all 3 points.

Take a point now.
