Clueless today

1. Sell Bridcutt.
2. Buy Mason.
3. Bring back Conway, drop Spanish Dave.
4. Drop Andrews, put Orlandi in the middle.

I really do think that where a player fails to perform to an appropriate standard, they should have their wages docked. Some of the performances we have seen today were woeful.

get them to clock in and out for starters

to be fair i thought we deserved a draw out of that at least. generally we played well and dominated them for large parts of the game- except in the final third of course which is where it counts.

ulloa looks lost, no one putting crosses into the box, set pieces as shit as usual and we seriously need more options up front.

solly March is a star in the making but obika.....not convinced. clearly we need a striker, a defender (for el abd) and an attacking midfielder

Point 3 Spanish Dave is toilet and if not Conway then play March.

The sooner CMS is match fit the better IMHO

The same useless CMS who we wanted rid of?

"Some" but not "we"

Personally I think he will be hugely effective in this team as long as he comes back with same pace/stamina

For a £2M striker, he's a waste of space at present.

Doesn't look like he wants to be here to me and if a few whispers are right, he might not be come the 1st of Feb. I wasn't there today but he looked pissed off last Saturday and by all accounts the same today.

Weird, I thought we were alright and definitely deserved a point at least today.

A good idea that.

Ulloa got fouled all afternoon and looked to have won a pen when he was pulled back in the box stopping him from following up a rebound. His only reward was to get booked in the 94th minute.

We lacked a winger more than anything today. Hopefully KLL is back next week, and we do a deal for Conway - it's crying out for him right now.

Glad I'm not the only one who thought we lacked pace on the flanks today, It was only ever a goal out of nothing that was going to win that game today and they got it.

Me too, although neither side looked threatening.

They got the goal but I think we (just about) shaded it otherwise

Glad it's not just me then mate. The reactions on here are rather daft I must say.

Derby battled but the difference was they had that bit of class to fashion a goal against a stubborn side.

Agree with a lot of this to be fair. I don't think Oscar does know what his style is. Can't for the life of me work out why we only play 1 upfront all the time either, look at all the prolific prem teams - Suarez - Sturridge, Negredo - Aguero, RVP - Rooney etc. Arsenal are different they've got some of the worlds best creative midfielders. And we're lacking creativity anyway. Why does he wait till we go a goal behind before making a change. It was clear we were under a lot of pressure and giving the ball away. Needed to change it.

Think CMS will make a difference when fit. He's quick and causes problems which will create space for others. As long as he's not played up front on his own or left on the bench with Ulloa up top on his own... (bound to happen).

As for Ulloa, not sure whats wrong with him atm. Doesn't seem to have the right attitude. Don't think fitness is the issue. He's been back almost a month, and he looked much better in the first game vs Charlton than he has in the last couple. Seems a little lazy, and if its true he didn't want to bother clapping of the fans then thats a disgrace - no matter how bad the game was. Anyone else such as Barnes/CMS etc and they would get slated.

Agree with most of that, but it's a bit early to be judging Obika.

Despite a deflection? They had no more quality than us.

To run about like a headless chicken again?

 

[Urchin]

Ulloa straight down tunnel, Jones tried to send him over to fans, took a few steps, clapped and then disappeared.

Disappointing at the moment

Ulloa couldn't do any more today. He held the ball up well, flicked the ball on and worked hard. He was fouled the whole game and the ref gave nothing. There was a blatant foul on him in the box, which the referee chose to ignore. He can't be expected to score when he has no service whatsoever.

 

[supaseagull]

Nice to see the TOOLS out in force tonight

Whatever

 

[albie_noobs]

My only criticism today was that the changes Oscar made simply didn't work, we looked better before them, but heyho you win some you lose some!
