I'd imagine so. Charles (hasn't signed a new deal yet, so not looking good) and Scienza for sure.

Peretz, Jelert, THB, Quarshie, Welington, Bragg, Charles, Matsuki, Fellows, Scienza, Stewart. Lots of changes needed.

There are a core of players who I've just had enough of. Downes, THB, Wood, Stephens, Manning, Bazunu, Aribo, Bree, Fraser, Archer. I'd probably replace Armstrong at the end of the season too. We need to build the squad around players like Charles, Jander, Fellows, Scienza and Quarshie (yes I think we should persevere with him).

He's quite the opposite to Manning in the fact he's actually probably too aggressive. But I'd prefer that to a player who constantly stands off like Manning does. Oh and he isn't lazy and doesn't always pass it backwards. So yes whilst he's not great he is certainly a better option in this division.

Agreed. It'll be good for his confidence, he seems like a good guy, just not very good at goalkeeping. Just shows though what a pathetic defence we have as well though.

As everyone could have predicted.

It's a real shame because he's clearly a decent goalscorer.

We are much more stable with 3 at the back remember...

Why is that a good thing? Hull are depleted. Coventry were depleted. It matters not a jot.

Is he the worst left back we've had? Don't get me wrong we've had some shit ones but he is just lazy, wasteful, has terrible awareness, positioning is awful, can't tackle and can't head the ball as he constantly makes a back for attackers. Thoughts?

Tbh we are probably worse now than we were under Still. And that really takes some doing.

Let's be honest, he is a shite but sacking him probably won't do a thing. Until we get rid of these owners and half the squad, nothing will change.

Is Jelert that bad? Could have him at left back, supposedly can play either side.

You can't blame him after we defended so well with 3 at the back against Middlesbrough. Tonda knows best.

It was that Villa game and the summer transfer window afterwards. Failure to sign a proper striker and lots of wasted funds. That set the precedent unfortunately.

Yep. The full backs allowing cross after cross into the box, then static unaware centre backs unable to deal with them. A total recipe for disaster and he doesn't seem to be doing anything to sort the problem.

Not sure what's been going on in his head but he's a million miles off that player we saw for the first half of last season. He looks devoid of confidence. He should never have left so soon after what happened with the failed Chelsea transfer a few years ago. He went for the money and I've got no sympathy for him.

Yes Bazunu is horrendous but jesus you must have absolutely nothing else in life to start doing that 😂

Is McBurnie fit? If so he will bully our back line like he did up there

Yep but on the other hand they simply cannot defend set pieces (a bit like us) so expect us to take short corners and pass it back to the keeper.

Tonda hinted at returning to a 3 at the back after the game yesterday. Happy days!

If Portsmouth come out and play like this against us in a couple of weeks, we don't stand a chance.

Obviously not every game but there's been a fair few matches where we've conceded a goal from every shot on target. His save percentage is quite frankly diabolical.

Still and Juric supposedly tried to get the players fit and look how it ended for them

Well there are certainly mitigating factors for him to be given a bit of leeway. Bazunu and McCarthy ran out of those some time ago.
