Then they are, excuse the pun, dropping the ball. Bazunu must be taken out of the firing line immediately. McCarthy is not good enough and Cabalero is too old. Buy or loan a competent keeper this week or, whatever else we do, we'll still get relegated.

For their goal if we maintain a disciplined line we catch them offside. Ralph's time was up for me but one thing he did have us well drilled in was holding the line at free kicks. Today we did not have the bottle and players broke the line and retreated towards our goal leaving Watkins onside. That is unprofessional and needs to be resolved very quickly or more goals from free kicks will quickly follow.

10 days to go. Next signing must be a goalkeeper - buy or loan, don't care which but we have no chance of surviving with Bazunu in goal. Nothing against the lad but he just isn't good enough yet to be playing at this level.

He has been culpable for far too many goals and makes defenders nervous. It is so clear. He wouldn't start for any other team in the Prem and probably not in the Championship either.

We've all been banging on about signing a striker but the elephant in the room is Bazunu. He is not ready and will be a big part of why we'll be relegated. Should have got a decent keeper in this window.

It would seem no corner has been turned.

Haven't watched the game - judging by this thread we have gone backwards again. Why are we so poor today?

I'm pretty sure the news that Ings has signed for West Ham this week means Watkins is fit.

Who on earth believes Ings won't get game time behind Scammac and Antonio? - bonkers. He'll be ahead of both of those players.

Got to be worth it for that money as he'll give us another option.

Far too complicated for me 🙂

Can't keep up with all the names we are rumoured to be interested in. Would be nice to get at least a couple more over the line soon.

He looks ideal for us on his skills videos - would be great in midfield alongside Lavia with JWP further forward.

Agree this guy looks like he might be a good fit for us. Great at snuffing out danger, gets stuck in and has skill on the ball with a good range of passing. Over 6' tall which is another plus.

Never wanted Walcott but would love Ings back.

We all know he's not the greatest finisher but Che is still a big part of the team. He played a huge part in both goals against Everton.

Funny, I watched one video where he looked very average. Just watched a different video in which he looks a bag of tricks and scores a fair few goals including a superb overhead kick. He's growing on me 🙂

Would love Spence on loan.

They really looked poor against Leeds and wouldn't have won but for their keeper. They like to play out from the back so put a press on Mings and he'll make errors. We can beat these as long as we don't concede soft goals.

I think the mystery striker will come out disguised as a bumble bee. We'll all have to try to guess his identity but he'll reveal his true self when he scores his first goal.

Not for me unless we are just looking for a ball carrier with a few assists. Don't think this guy is the out and out goal scorer we need and reckon he'd struggle in the Premier League. There's better available so steer clear or we could well be wasting a wedge of money.

Good to hear that Dragan spoke with JWP and Nathan Jones after the win. The mood and the spirit within the club has had a massive lift on the back of those 3 hard fought victories. Hope we can now feed off this and keep the run going starting with Villa.

No way can we shift JWP back because a) he is so ineffective there and b) we'd lose what we are getting from playing him further forward. It simply mustn't happen.

Think I'd rather play a 4 3 1 2 with Alcaraz floating in the hole behind the front 2.

Haven't we already signed a quality wide forward in Orsic?
