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?

Still no Orsic? Something very odd going on there...

Is Orsic unfit? Seems to be struggling to get in the team.

An accident waiting to happen, again.

Really poor so far. Keep giving it back to them.

Absolutely vital win.

No Orsic?

Looking very much like 4 league games 4 defeats to teams around us. The cup game was special, but Jones is once again showing incapable of making the right decisions. He is unable to see that a Moi/Adams/Edozie front line is totally ineffective. Yet keeps sending out the same team. Why did we sign Orsic and not play him? Is he not considered as good as Edozie / Moi? Fully expect the same team second half. Failure to win today and we'll be starting to drop off the bottom and it's a long way back....

Really don't get Jones' thinking today. Putting the players who have failed us back in again.

Momentum officially lost. Thanks NJ

What an awful shot.. terrible Dialo

Why did we sign Orsic and then still start mo?

Can't understand dropping Mara and Djenepo.

The difference is that Mara actually scored with his few contributions. He has a point to prove. There is just no way in my view that Adams would have had the awareness and finishing ability to get that stunning goal against City. Mara has to start.

Surely we'll sign a striker before the window closes. But it does feel like we've been here before..

Tonight was meant to be impossible

Every player has given their all that half. Amazing workrate and each one just trying everything with no fear. Great half.

Perfectly timed post

City attitude is lax. We've not taken advantage yet. They eventually sort that out.

Djnepos attitude and work rate amazing

Tonight's lineup just goes to show how much we still need to do in this transfer window.
