Awh cmon.
OK, I didn't pay to watch it, but the fact that you did surely doesn't make you blind to the fact that we have 4/5 more creative players JUST signed.
Even then it's going to be what..... 4 or 5 weeks before they start to gel as a team, and SB's tactics and selections can be properly judged.
IMHO any points between now and then are a bonus.

From my point of view, the new signings are at the root of today's frustrations...

Because i think they should've been options from the bench.

Diangana at least, as he was a regular in pre-season for West Ham. TBH I'd have took a punt on Austin as well, even if he was fit for 10 mins. At least he's a proper striker.

Zohore, Phillips, Edwards and Phillips were all really poor today... But all we had to bring on was HRK and Burke.

We fill our bench with the likes of the dross Conor Townsend, who offers bugger all. IMO a left back is a waste of a sub when Brunt is already on the bench as cover. Especially against sides like Millwall as home.

I was being pedantic about paying to watch, but it's really frustrating to be called negative after watching that utter tripe and airing frustrations.

As for Bilic, it's harsh to criticise him so soon, but how he took 80 minutes to see that the awful Jake Livermore needed changing is beyond me. I get very worried when managers can't see things that are obvious.

I was slated on here when I called Pardew a "muppet" after the 2nd game, but I couldn't hold back as his mistakes were so obvious. The decisions made by Bilic today were on that level. I just hope he learns.

Would I have been happy with 4 points at this stage before the season started? Absolutely. But after watching today's game, it was 2 points lost. The draw itself wasn't the big problem though, it was the nature of it. Never at any point did we press for the win, have them pinned back or test them. We looked clueless like we didn't know what to do. Our goal and chance were both a result of their errors.
