Hutchinson is naïve, not useless.
Consilio said we were outclassed, didn't sound like that on the commentary.
Sounded like we made 3 mistakes and got punished after not taking our chances again.

We had a decent 20 min spell in the second half. Nuhiu and Forrestieri did well.
Apart from that they were better than us.
They've got a manager who knows this league and English football inside out. We've got a committee headed by a clown that nothing of the English game and has has more clubs than Thurny's had tiffs with his Mrs.
We've got some quality players now but CC doesn't know his best team, formation or tactics.
Cause for great concern
Hutchinson is a moron. Absolutely clueless.
Get Semedo back in the side

What Benteke just did against Manure... That's what we need.
Drop Hutch & Palmer. I'm not sure Loovens did that much? Sasso might need to start for Bolton
Pudil looked good on his debut, tore down that left channel to make the cross.
back to back 3-1 losses. Just poor..
I don't know what the solution is but CC and his team can't adapt quickly enough to the English game, despite playing some nice stuff we can't hold midfield and are caught on counters all to often..
I feel stung again like the Boro game. Less pissed off this time for some reason when I should be more, we're wallowing in 19th with one win from six.

We're always likely to lose or draw because we don't hit the target enough when we are on top. No matter how much you dominate the other side will always get chances during the game. We get punished for our lack of accuracy every game and it's been going on for a lot longer than this season. 2 attempts on target out of 13 is criminal but is about par for the course for us.
and complicated

Let's be right, the one thing we all thought was badly needed after last season was a striker who could put the ball in the net on a consistent basis. We create the chances, just like last season but with Nuhiu up front we are never going to put a decent percentage of them away!! Players like Matias, McGugan and Forestieri will get their fair share of the goals but it's no use improving the quality of the support players when we still have no striker in the squad who can score enough!!!
Need to use the loan window to get a proper striker in!!
BML update, Towinjustonce won for the nearest to our first attempt on target, which was actually the goal, no one got the correct score nor all 5 correct results. Table is updated.

Nuhiu did very well today. He linked up with FF and looked a constant menace. The midfield was disappointing and the back four gave Wildsmith no protection.
Pudil did ok. Lee had another good game

Just making a look at other teams today, we are way down the table in terms of our % on target. Today we got 15% of our attempts on target, only the Village (0%) and Brentford (13%) were less. Nine teams were over 40% with 5 of them winning!!
If we could get over 40% on target we would give ourselves a much better chance of scoring more, I know it's obvious but we have had this problem for over a season now and it hasn't been addressed!!!
