Exactly which is why we shouldn't have appointed Nathan Jones.

Was lavia our worst signing of the season? Never plays and it seems like our entire transfer strategy in the summer hinged on him being great every week.

We actually deserved to lose by more.

The point is its not a typical period where he's had two games. He's had weeks working with these players and not a single one of them looks better than they were before.

There's not really an excuse for not playing Stuart Armstrong and Bella Kotchap at the very least. I can see the logic in playing Diallo so I can't really blame the manager for that decision but the rest has been bizarre.

The time to appoint that type of manager was in the summer.

The man who had significant success for a number of seasons with Burnley prior to relegation.

That was quite a bit worse than I expected and my expectations were low. Feels like we've rolled the dice with this manager and it hasn't worked. I do wonder what made them go for him. I wonder at what point we'll start preparing for promotion next year instead. Lose the next few and it will be soon.

Should have appointed Dyche tbh till the summer.

Possibly the worst first half of the year.

Edozie looks lively so that's a good decision to play him. Lots of other questionable choices here.

I think if I'm honest I would have quite liked a progressive continental approach. My concern with this manager is that he's a bit lower league and basic with hoof ball and unrefined tactics. The start of this game and the last game is confirming that fear so far. I've yet to see any substantial positives and we simply have to get some decent performances and wins in the next few games to give us something to hold onto for the transfer window and to avoid being cut adrift.

With ABK fit Lyanco should be nowhere near the team. Frankly bizarre choice.

I know this is really early days but performances like this after having so long to work with the players is really worrying. I said with this manager it would either be an inspired appointment or a disaster. Concerning stuff.

It's also hilarious how many on here were giving our summer window a 9 or a 10. We messed up horrifically by not bringing in a striker and this needs correcting first ASAP. It doesn't node well that Wolves have already moved to improve their squad before the window has even opened. I wish we would do the same. How much of a boost would it be for morale to know that we had a decent striker ready to go for next week? I'd go so far as to see that if we don't have one signed up before mid January then we become favourites for the drop.

It would be idiotic to expect relegation. If we win today its conceivable we will end the weekend out of the relegation zone so no relegation is not "likely" by any means. We have a chance to avoid it and need to take that chance by getting in the right players early in the next couple of weeks. Not sure we will though given how we messed up the previous window.

I think what I liked is that he was clear about what he wanted from them. Under Ralph near the end it didn't look like we knew what was required of us.

I think it could either be brilliant or if he's a flop, people are going to be quite quick to take the piss and he will have a whiff of Sturrock about him ie a British manager not cut out for the top flight. Could be great though I certainly hope so!

I want MLG back just for this.

Not sure the migrant workers who've died or had their passports stolen would agree with you.

I have to say I've quite enjoyed some of the football even if it's in a hell hole.

I think it's too early to say what's going to happen. Seems to be working so far with thousands of less employees despite people swearing blind that it would have collapsed already it was obvious that twitter had quite a few employees that didn't need to be there. Looks like he's reinstated a few accounts that were wrongly terminated already so that's a positive. I'm hoping he now removes ridiculous rules like being banned for so called dead naming.

That would be an issue is you fired every single mechanic but sounds like they still have quite a few thousand employees still. Guess we will see.

I read some commentary this week that this was possibly his plan from the start. Massively slim down the workforce as quickly as possible, take all the flak for being evil and then appoint a new CEO who has a fresh start whilst he keeps an eye on things from afar. Would be interesting to see how things pan out eventually but the fact that twitter is still operational with thousands of employees less probably suggests that many of them weren't that necessary to begin with.

Eddie Izzard is a beautiful woman when he wants to be. You might just have to ask him which one on any particular day.
