Today we've come out all guns blazing, with no choice but to go for the win, but just been picked apart by a much superior side. A side who pass and move around our bunch of statues.
The annoying thing is that we've practically given them the game by not turning up. I mean, they have had 3 easy goals and we've almost put 2 more on a plate for them too.
The 2 full backs are dreadful. Centre halves couldn't mark a bingo card and I've seen tougher tackling in the under 11's. Genuinely don't think either full back and O'Shea are anymore than average Championship players.
Going forward just as much of a joke. Unlike others, I think Diagne has been good for us to date generally, held the ball up and got us up the pitch, but today both he and Pereira look like disinterested lumps.
Robbo and Phillips look like they are running through treacle and I actually forgot the latter was playing.
Yokulsu having his worst game in the shirt. Maitland-Niles is trying, he's probably the only one to come out with any credit as well as Johnstone.
Now the game is gone, I'd give Grant and Grady a run. Let's see if Grady can get at their young full back and see what Grant is made of. Allardyce says players have been banging on his door asking for a chance, well now is the time to give them one. As long as it's now Sawyers and Livermore that is...
Slick, I agree that I would definitely give Grant and Diangana a run. Can’t agree with you about Diagne; he has one attribute- he’s big. He has no pace, struggles to control the ball and let’s not discuss his finishing because he makes HRK look like Mbappe
