Four games in and not one of our strikers have scored yet. 

Dragan needs to take a bath on some of them this week wages-wise to get them to new environments where the shadow of Russell Martin doesn’t lurk.

The directors of the club are shocking, they want to boost revenue off the by stinging us fans with fan zones and £7:30 a pint. They don’t seem to rest without success on the pitch the fans won’t use the zones. Stephens, Armstrong, Archer are awful. We haven’t had a team with goals in it for several seasons - goals win games, simple really!

We’ve all been saying it for a long time but we should throw as much money at stoke as they want for their keeper. 
 

Unreal player. 

 

We are an absolute fucking disgrace. Our recruitment is a joke. Still needs to stop this five at the back shit. Absolutely shocking all round.

Appreciated he's probably protecting himself, but Fernandes hasn't played anywhere close to £50m premier league level this afternoon

Tessem and Blackmore saying “game on” what a load of pony. It’s something you say after nicking a goal at Anfield not after pulling one back against a 10-man Stoke at home FFS

I'm just saying this and totally not an attempt to jinx it, but Downs is shit

Reminded me of Guido Carrillo from what I’ve seen so far, big, not much of an athlete and first touch goes further than he can kick it.

I was expecting a raw Kenwyne Jones type forward but he’s looked like a poor man’s Jon Parkin or Brett Angell to me.

What an utterly cretinous comment.  Nothing he could do

He could have saved it. Reckon their keeper lets it in?

He is not in charge of recruitment and doesnt have any wingers. He is having to play 3 at the back even though he probably doesnt want to. You need to wait for the transfer window to close and at least give him a few weeks.

We also got relegated with record points and he is trying to implement a system which is completely contrary to boring Russball

He has a say in recruitment anyone thinking otherwise is too wrapped up in the spreadsheet nonsense.  He's not the single and sole decider but he has a significant say.

 

It's too early, sure. But he needs to figure out a better line up and formation, and stop making life difficult on himself by playing a terrible formation (not having wingers isn't an excuse) with terrible personnel in those positions. AA has never ever been a good sole number 9, yet here is week in and out doing the sum of fuck all to advance our attacking capabilities. 

 

Also I think anyone expecting us to sign 4 or 5 players in the remaining window (which is what we need) is going to be disappointed. It'll be a bunch of duds. Still, thank fuck we got Roerslev.

DOWNS IS UTTER CRAP

Must admit he’s been worse than I feared. £8m is cheap but that looks expensive for no first touch, composure or ball striking. Need to be active in the loan market bringing at least one starting striker in, loaning Downs out to somewhere Plymouth who need a forward to get experience and one of AA/BBD even if it’s a loss on wages because their confidence is through the floor.

5 at the back 

Armstrong in central role

Shit finishing 

Poor recruitment 

Something needs to change and quick

If it doesn't then midtable finish beckons

No idea in the final third again. Embarrassing.

Need to be very active in that area next week and if selling Fernandes helps then do it.

Also need some subsidised loans out - AA, BBD. SFC isn’t a good environment for them.
