Didn't go up last night, frankly can't afford to spend hard earned money on watching boring dross.

Seeing the line up, the poor performance doesn't surprise me. 4-4-2 with our personnel simply doesn't work - big holes between the lines which results in hoof ball football and players being isolated.

After Sunday, I was hoping we'd revert to 4-5-1 on a regular basis. After all, that was the first time we've looked like scoring a goal and with Berahino inevitably going, we don't need to 'force' a particular formation on the team to accommodate our best players together. However, despite that, looks like we're back to the same rigid formation last night.

Pulis did a great job of keeping us up last year, but it is becoming increasingly more difficult to back him with the poor football and poor signings. James Mclean brings absolutely nothing and struggles to string a 10 yard pass together - so what chance of you got of him creating opportunities? James Chester to play at full back, despite the fact he's played most of his football in a back 3. I can't help thinking TP is a bit deluded with cash if he thinks we're big enough to spend £8m on a squad player.

Just hope the rest of the signings, which hopefully come, are definitely players who will improve our first XI in the positions that we need.
