Behave! There is no conspiracy here. The first pen was stonewall, the second arguable, and us undone by our usual shiteness.

He was his usual classy self, but he showed no urgency or creativity...JWP has raised our game.

😂😂😂

I'd have brought Ballard on ahead Aribo.

Djenepo and KWP are the only wants who can come away from this with any credit so far.

Yep. He seems to be a key part of our losing culture. It's almost possible to see why they wanted Jones.

I did... Oh

We're a complete embarrassment. Absolute disgrace of a performance.

Mara 😂😂😂

Yep. We're utter shite. Terrible shape. Forward players look confused. Alcaraz awful in the middle.

Yep. Mara and Djenepo are both taking up similar positions. Very odd.

Alcaraz will have more chance to get involved further up the pitch with Lavia in there with him. I like that midfield pairing. Djenepo offers more end product than Edozie, so an understandable pick for me. I'm with you on the new guys. They need time to gel, and to get goals.

I think it'll almost end up like a diamond with Lavia sitting and Alcaraz playing ahead of him.

Happy with that. Alcaraz and Lavia in midfield could be very interesting. 3-0 to us.

My guess is it'll be something like; ------- McCarthy ------- AMN - Caleta-Carr - Lyanco -Djenepo Walcott - JWP - Diallo - Alcaraz ---- Aribo - Mara ----- Comfortable win tonight, and a bit of confidence restored.

That's change though. The OP (i think) is talking about a like for like repair.

Good point...but is it a planning or building control point? Playing the tape forward, if a duff roof is replaced like for like, how would the LA enforce it? They surely won't insist that the knackered roof is reinstated!

I can't understand how a replacement is a planning issue. You're not changing or adding anything. What's led you to understand that planning permission is needed? This feels like a misunderstanding.

I can see him at Chelsea, I don't think he'll move up north. Cobham to Otterbourne is commutable.

Don't you think that his lack of work rate will hamper us whatever system we play? For me that's the issue with the lad rather than ability.

Where's it said that we met wage and transfer demands? I think that's become a popular belief rather than fact. If I'm wrong I stand corrected.

Not sure that's accurate re Gakpo...he joined Liverpool "without thinking" after a blinding world cup when he was well sought after. There's differing views of why he didn't join us in the summer.

Pretty much as I see it, although you're softer on Baz and harder on Orsic than I am. Personally I think Baz pushes Aribo as the worst signing of the lot, and that Orsic hasn't been given a proper chance yet.
