It's still not too late to admit they made a mistake and get someone else in. But need to act faster. Can't see it happening though 😒

I've missed most of the game but it sounds like we threw it away in the first half because of a bad formation/team pick. Frustrating Jones.

I think you answered your own question there 😉

Got to be about 7-8 mins added time now.

Unfortunately, we already are and we are just no threat. Remember we lost to Newcastle who had 9 men before.

Awful tackle. Had to go.

It's frustrating. If we were just a little bit better.... not quite so dull. But, we are barely a threat.

Not over if we can just get another back

.

Another one to keep the bench warm under NJ no doubt.😉

We can dream. Bur suspect we'll end up with neither and it turns out to just be a PR stunt.

Can he play up front?

It's nice to hear they want to stick around and make us successful etc. But they've made a lot of bad decisions so far, over and over again. So unless they learn from that, it does not bode well and suggests we'd be better off if they didn't stick around for the long term. Possibly bringing Wilcox in is a step towards trying to improve the decision making. Hope so..

Didn't Aribo play up front for Rangers last year sometimes? I'm surprised we've not tried that. Aren't any of the current youth crop worth an appearance from the bench? I'm mentally preparing myself for no new striker...

Worth a go up front I reckon. Can't do any worse than Adams surely?

Sounds like Neil McCann Mk II

I think that's pretty much how we all feel right now. Too many bad decisions and no way out.

Unfortunately I missed the whole game due to other commitments. Did Orsic look ok first half or as terrible as Ely?

Same as before looks like.

What was the point?

Adam Armstrong tried hard today. But he's just not fast enough, not skilful enough, not strong enough for the Premier League. Will be great for Championship I think, if his confidence isn't completely shot by then.

Five defeats out of six PL games. Signs new players then doesn't play them. Not up to the job.

Yup. It was more luck that judgement that his mistakes today didn't lead to more Villa goals. Jones cannot see problems.

We've been so very poor today. Week after week we see the same players who just aren't good enough for this level. We bring a few new players in, we don't play them. What was the point?

If Orsic isn't better than this lot. Why did we sign him?
