Everything we’ve seen and heard so far would suggest he is quite raw, so probably - yes.

Because even off form he’s still better than Long or Baffers.

Bright first couple of minutes, decent pressure.

On here please. COYCWYB!

They were a goal down for 80 minutes of that match and he was an unused sub. Doesn’t bode too well.

Because we were crap for 15 minutes away at Burnley?

Everton look nothing special, if we get our arses in gear there’s no reason we can’t compete with them over the course of a season. All three of their fixtures have been easier than either of our two. Waaaaaay too early to be hoping for relegation rivals to start losing.

Everton may have four points on the board but against Watford, Villa and Palace they’ve managed one goal. They’ve looked pretty wasteful tonight and Morgan is a shadow of the player he was here.

Targett on the other hand hasn’t even made the bench for Villa, not that Taylor looks anything special.

It seems like every set of fans in the country is singing some version of 'allez allez allez'. Getting on my tits.

Doesn't turn up until 3 games into the season, like the rest of our 'kitz'.

Sometimes I just say yes and pay for someone else's fuel because I don't want to make things awkward.

TBF, they have got a decent sized Sainsbury's and a Cotswold Outdoor store.

People have their priorities messed up. Some random nobody typing racist insults on his keyboard is not more important than half the Brazilian rain-forest being on fire. There's an entire documentary series on TV about Jade Goody being the 'reality star who changed Britain' when really she's a complete non-entity, famous for being famous. If the people who wrote the tweets can be identified, they should be prosecuted. If not they should be ignored.

Honestly no. It's thoroughly unpleasant and a Police matter but it isn't really news. If anything it needs less media exposure as there are plenty of people who get off on how much they can offend and upset strangers on the internet.

What's your point? That there are racist people on the planet? It's the internet, there's an infinite supply of ill informed sh*te out there. There are people on twitter who think the Earth is flat and put more faith in a blog on mumsnet than a qualified doctor.

Excellent. I'll have a prawn bhuna and another Cobra please mate.

TBF 30 is in his prime really, it's not as if he's 38. Targett will get his chance, especially if they keep shipping goals and losing.

Agree, you have to look at the bigger picture, i.e. all the United, Spurs and City fans who were desperate for us not to win yesterday.

Palace look a bit crap.

Anybody know why he was left out yesterday?

Probably Mané against Villa. On the flip side we haven’t played anyone as crap as Newcastle yet. Let’s see some Adams in some easier fixtures.

We weren’t dreadful against Burnley, we were the better team for 60 minutes. They beat us because of individual errors, in terrible weather, at a ground where we never get a decent result. If they’d been all over us and bullied us for 90 minutes, I’d be more concerned. West Ham lost their first four last year and were fine. No reason we can’t match that.

If, with all our wage bill and squad limitations, we've just signed a player who isn't even in our top three centre halves, we really have learned nothing from the Reed era. I'd try him with JB and MY too.

I'd rather be us than Villa or Newcastle based on what's happened so far. Two defeats are always disappointing but I'd expect to lose against Liverpool and a sh*tty gale away to Burnley. We gave both a decent game and we'll get results eventually.
