think the only positives to be drawn from these games are the negatives - he's realised colback is shit, and hopefully that we need quality reinforcements at LB CM and CF.

...is something we should already have accounted for. no, it was just a general comment. had nowt to do with today's defeat but i just felt it was awful.

still trust rafa but feel he needs to go back to the drawing board and think again about tactics and recruitment. both been lacking. remember its fulham and huddersfield we lost to - relegation strugglers from last year.

definitely give away less needless free kicks without him. the number of times he puts us under pressure as a result.

the standard of refereeing in the championship...

the nicked have flags have been mentioned by the chronicle so hopefully will shame a few of these cunts. not likely though.

that was crazy second half. they started playing with 4 left backs often leaving dummett 20 yards from any opposition player.

That might be true, it's Rafa's tactics for me that are ultimately costing us. I agree totally. 180 minutes of shitness. Zero points against teams that finished 19th and 20th last season. Spent tens of millions.....roll on Wednesday and the team that finished 17th. in a nutshell. crap opposition with a team costing millions and not a single point or goal from open play.

failing to even draw at home to a really poor huddersfield side. think any criticism or booing was justified.

We did not improve a lot in the second half like, not even close. From what I've been told the fans were angry and frustrated almost throughout, too. I was there. They weren't. You seem to be the only one saying it. I was there you weren't. Atmosphere was flat but no anger whatsoever. At full time there was about 5 seconds of booing and then muted applause for the team. definitely some anger where we were, but it was mainly apathy, frustration and acceptance that we were shit.

these arent even average championship teams that we have played so far, yet the defensive team set up has been mind-boggling.

That was the plan ffs at the the start. Fair enough, just saying it seemed strange to see it. we sit in the gallowgate and we had a flag. there was no way we could have continiued waving those things and watched the match at the same time. not easy pulling those buggers out from under the seats every time we had an attack.

mitrovic isnt as good in the air as a lot of people are making out. better than gayle but he missed a boat load of decent headed chances last year. spent most build up play trying to chest the ball or trying to win free kicks rather than actually trying to get a couple of feet off the floor for headers.

We did not improve a lot in the second half like, not even close. From what I've been told the fans were angry and frustrated almost throughout, too. the initial excitement soon dissipated and it felt just like watching us last season. frustration and apathy more than anger when we realized we werent any better at home to mighty huddersfield than we were in the premiership.

its not his job to be our main attacking threat on his own. got little support first half in the opposition half. no way near our worst player today for skill or for effort.

cant wait for his debut on wednesday night.

sells didnt do too much wrong today.

seems to have become a better player by simply not playing and us having to watch our turgid performances. we need to go out and by a decent proven goalscorer.

awful today. missed that open goal early on with the header at the far post and his pella was shit. poor service to him but it has to be said his movement was crap anarl.

agree the hype around aarons is ridiculous. a couple of flashy cameos over past 2 or 3 years and he's the next big thing.

not even the mighty Rafa is a match for that fucking injury curse that haunts this club.

Don't think they will. Hope you're right. Really deflated me that performance last week. same here. was absoluteley hyped but the fulham teamsheet/performance/result has really put a dampner on things.

is only tuesday or wednesday, or is there a chance of it being played on the monday night?

23 games would be enough

never though it would come to this, but go on, stick a £15 - 20m bid in for carroll
