Thought Ings played well bar the miss - great left footed curling effort. Every player has the odd glaring miss (memories of Yakubu in the world cup), but that doesn't make that gilt-edged chance any less painful!! What a ball by Valery. Djenpro looked promising, real acceleration and didn't waste the ball. The slippy error from the throw in that Firmino capitalised on was just abysmal, really. On to the next one with a similar performance to today, please.

Fine margins! Ings a hero and a villain there in the space of 5 minutes!

Bit of cognitive dissonance never goes amiss these days...

Toby :x :x

I've cracked open a cold one, too. It's going to be a brilliant night

Looks good without the sponsor

Great analogy!

You're such a tease. When this turns out to be horse sh*t, please make sure to apologise to everyone whose excitement you awoke for no reason!

Perhaps the wages have been paid for by Wolves? Could help us bring another body in!

Completely agree! Difficult isn't it, because it's past mistakes that have left us at a point where our hands are tied until someone comes in for some of our players!

He got caught out? Wayne Rooney and old Granny style? He's got a mrs and how many kids? Bellend!

This

The more I look at this midfield, the more I realise why we struggled so much last year.

Done

Scored some important goals for us, and got a good wage for it. Bit silly to be replying to people on social media and taking the p*ss, but he's never been the brightest human, has he.

A scarf or a badge on yer flat cap is all you need. That and a good set of lungs. Hilarious video for the kit launch though.

Just from the research done by posters above, this absolutely reeks. Who on earth is carrying out our due-diligence checks? Has Gao begun infecting and abusing this club? Concerning. I

Bottom line is IF we're getting a decent income from LD Sports then that's all that matters. It does look a bit dodgy though - especially the Chinese connection. I do hope we're not getting rinsed by our owner!

Not sure about the top 10 attack bit...

*masking his frailty

I used to have faith in the lad doing a decent job for us, but VVD was making his frailty in central defence. I really think we need to ship him out to a L1 or Championship team this summer. Get what we can and move on...

It's like me donating £30...

Massively underwhelming but what can you expect given the backing he will receive?

So is it tactics or players, defensively. And is it just the defenders who are at fault, or also our midfielders? We need to ship out a few, for sure, including Stephens(!) Ultimately I feel we need to bring in a strong defensive midfielder to give Romeu a contest and ultimately try and edge him out. We also need a reliable centre back! Our centre backs have some brilliant positives about them, but are far too prone to lapses in concentration; a seriously problematic trait in their role!! Don't even get me started on our strikers! Long is so hot and cold he beggars belief and Ings isn't up to much. Austin runs in treacle and Gallagher isn't doing enough to earn even a few minutes on the pitch.... I really hope we see some determined action in the summer as our squad is bereft of quality

The club will do their best to invest tentatively and with little impact. And by invest I mean still get net profit
