I'd add a CD, LB to that - Dennis and King are going to rip us to shreds.

tbh - I would have no problem with Newcastle paying him that to sign. We desperately need a LB.

More like Villa are willing to pay him his £200k. Not many clubs would.

It was never going to easy to attract quality players and as we're finding out it's near on impossible.

Howe only seems to appeal to Burnley players

I would like to think we've at least tried to get him

Depends whose advising them - atm survival is the priority so can see them being swayed.

Can't see Burnley letting him go tbh. Maybe it's a plan by the owners to weaken Burnley by buying their whole squad.

Chris Wood man - this weekend just gets worse

If Callum Wilson wasn't injured all the time he'd have scored a bucket load more. Each time he comes back it takes him a while to get his shooting boots back on. The two a polars apart in terms of ability.

Chris Wood

Do we not have any strikers in our academy who could have played up front?

Lille trying to extract every single ££

It's strange though - it's not so much his confidence it's his concentration. He seems to switch off.

My reflection on the game is: regardless of all the failings within the squad - it's good enough to beat a League 1 team. This was the perfect game to score 3, 4 goals - get the confidence up with the players ahead of the Premier League fixtures and give the fans a game to enjoy. The fact we looked poor against them for me the buck stops at Howe. It's his job to get the players up for this game and to get the tactics right. He failed on both.

Just seems to roll under him - he's under very little pressure as well. He seems to be lacking concentration.

This game was a reality check

They errors are mounting up though.

Especially against a League One side - 100% agree.

With Howe I think he clearly sold them a vision but like you say he has a style he wants to play but it's clear it's not suited to our squad. There is a place and time for us to play nice attacking football but now is not it. We need results - horrible back to the wall ground out results.

Not the player he was under Rafa - prone to mistakes these days.

The man just won't go away - he's made millions off the sale. He should be thanking her.

No comparison

Can't pick a pass - just tries to shoot all the time
