The failure to bring in an established scorer is coming home to roost.

Can't see is going for Cole like. That's just what I've been told

FC Twente player or maybe he's in Italy now? The lad we were linked with for ages before

And a certain ex Chelsea left back on loan

That's one of the players I was told we were signing along with Townsend. Douglas the CB was the other

I've never been convinced by him and can't see that changing. Talks a load of shite.

Unsurprisingly took a punt on on a raw, unproven striker from the continent and while he has some qualities he's not scoring anywhere close to the goals that we need to keep us in the league. As others have said we shouldn't be relying on him for a goal haulage.

Good spirit in the side currently which is nice to see but there's just simply too many holes in the side all over the pitch. We miss too many clear chances lacking a proper finishing striker, our centre midfield pairing is weak as piss and Coloccini gets dominated too easily. I thought we'd done enough to earn a point there and to concede like that was a killer blow. Ashley thinks in £££££££s and if he wants to avoid a relegation battle then he's going to have to get the chequebook out and spend properly. We might be showing some team spirit but as Trevor Francis said there just aren't enough good players there. A few injuries to some of our "better" players would leave us completely and utterly screwed.

I heard 3-4 players from my well connected source but that doesn't mean it's going to happen so don't shoot the messenger And as always we may sell too. Anyways, a left back, CB, midfielder and winger I was told.

No way De Jong should be starting ahead of Perez. You need to win games from the start with your best players not bringing them on to try and win it. That needs to fucking change from the next match. De Jong just doesn't offer enough whereas Perez can score create and run all day. De Jong still looks off the pace for me.

Need to add something in defence and midfield at the very least.

Need to hand it to these cunts and really put them in the shit.

Thing is I've seen him celebrate a couple of times like he genuinely enjoys it. So why all the scrimping on the squad and rest if the nonsense? He could create a genuinely decent side without spending fortunes and still make money.

They need to spend a fuck load of cash in Jan just to stay up ffs. What's 40m offset against hundreds of millions from the next to deal? Cretins

I've just listened to his interview on total sport this morning. The man talks utter fucking rubbish, nonsensical, meaningless sound bites. Desperate stuff.

Excellent, I look forward to Charnley, Carr and Moncur replacing him. Very true This is why I gave up on it a while ago. We're on a loop of total incompetence which is probably going to finally see us relegated this season.

Complete arse raping, nothing less. One positive is a shocker of a result might push the manager towards the exit door.

He is utterly woeful

He's quite clearly not up to it despite the wider issues at the club

I wouldn't be particularly bothered about shifting Sissoko as I'm just not that fussed about him. Selling either of the other two in January would be typical of Ashley though. If Ashley wants a stress free second half of the season with no issue of relegation on the cards then he needs to bring in some genuine quality. We need a decent keeper for the second half of the season, a proper centre midfielder and a striker. There's obviously other glaring weaknesses such as centre half and left back but it's folly to think all those positions will be filled.

That we handed these cunts 3 points again recently. Turning up week in week out to watch an Allardyce side too, fuck me

Need a quality centre midfielder and striker. Cisse, fuck me.

Need to see the game out, take 3 points. Never confident we can though

Content in the decision I made some while ago (after the 3-2 loss to Hull at home I think) that I wouldn't go to another match while Ashley owns the club. Have zero interest and to be fair it hasn't even been hard to stay away

No doubt we'll find a way to lose
