A lot of our players looked sluggish and flat yesterday. Schar and Targett for example were hitting lazy passes at times too. Bruno’s lack of fitness showed too. Our issue is still that we aren’t clinical enough in front of goal. Aside from Isak, Wilson and maybe ASM other players don’t score enough goals.

Both great points above, we really struggle to break teams down. I think we’ll see another attacker come in in Jan and by the start of next season the likes of Fraser, Miggy et al won’t be getting a sniff nor will we be relying on Willock as a starter. A creative attacking midfielder and right wing genuine threat would make all the difference but you can’t change everything straight away.

He really was dreadful yesterday. That strike in the first half was decent but he had a great chance in the second half he should’ve buried. His passing was woeful.

It was flatter than the way flat earthers see the planet ?

He just doesn’t impose himself on games at all. He looks good when everyone is playing well but he’s not enough of a difference maker in his own right. He’s made runs into the box previously but you don’t see that at the moment.

Absolutely zero creativity for him from the flanks from Miggy and Fraser and midfield wasn’t much better. I think he suffered from our lack of movement and without ASM we created no space so the CBs just crowded him out.

He isn’t good enough at the end of the day and will be a squad player at best next season. The worry is he just doesn’t look like scoring at all at the moment either.

It’s painfully obvious isn’t it.

He’s shite like I’m sorry. If I have to endure him cutting back all the time again

Beggars belief given the shite he spouted, the way we played, our record under him and his cosying up to far Mike that nufc fans were targeted by the media and barely anyone rightly called him out. The FOSB was in full swing and I doubt you’ll see anyone calling him into question at West Brom. Rinse and repeat, wankers.

I don’t think he imposes himself on games enough

Mien arrived today

I got one last season, haven’t received one this season not that I’m arsed really

Yes you would think at least ASM and Bruno would definitely be back. Wilson might be in with a chance too though I’m expecting Fulham more likely to give him the extra two weeks.

Im In the Leazes for the first time in years for this, looking forward to it.

Be very disappointed if this is cancelled I have a ticket in the Leazes too. I think we’ll have enough to beat them even with absences but there’s a chance all three key players could be back.

You would imagine if there’s any doubt they'll wait til Fulham with the extra two weeks. Be great to see him back.

?

Particularly with the international break coming up giving more recovery time. You like to think Wilson is back for Bournemouth though

Our problem yesterday was if Shelvey, Bruno and Joelinton start for example you can then bring on Willock, Longstaff etc. As it was the same midfield 3 started and looked leggy second half and we didn’t have the options off the bench. Even if only Bruno was back yesterday we win that That said still had the chances to win and VAR fucked us. If any side is missing their 3 main attacking players it’s going to play a massive part. Hopefully get the lads back for West Ham/Bournemouth. Frustrating but perspective needed p.s had someone sat next to me in Gallowgate who complained about everything. Apparently Isak and Botman are now shite ??

Some of the decisions which are being made with VAR at the moment are embarrassing. Surely can’t go on ffs

This is the key point really

He’s quality but given he’s played further forward in another life you’d still think he’d carry more threat in the final 3rd. Power puff mostly when he gets into the box

What I like about him is you don’t really notice him, proper calm customer

Yes I just don’t think Willock imposes himself on games. It’s even more evident when the better players are missing
