Their form? A whole season is hardly form.
Alright then, what would you suggest are the problems, seeing as you seem to be such an expert? How would you fix them?

Get someone who can score goals. It is not rocket science. Barnes and CMS are simply nowhere near good enough.

Looks like the same old failings..........can't take our chances even with a highly priced striker who must be a candidate for one of the club's most expensive mistakes ever!
Then after all the huffing and puffing is done by our boys,the other lot go and nick a late goal.
Hmm,think that has happened before hasn't it?

If you're as short sighted to only consider one game, then yes it is. But it's pretty clear to anyone that a good performance, even in defeat, puts you in a better position in the next match to iron out those few errors and progress.
f***ing hell some people on here tonight are idiotic. ONE game does not decide our entire season
You appear to have forgotten the FACT that this is just a continuation from the end of last season. IT IS NOT JUST ONE GAME!
Oh dear God, you're right. If only someone at the club had thought of this. Someone should probably tell them.
A continuation, with four new players in the starting line-up?

Barnes is playing in midfield, and he still gets more than CMS!

Could we sign Koren for £500K ? 31 yo.

I do like CMS but lets be honest the bloke is not good enough. Running around a lot and trying hard is not enough. He has scored 2 league goals since last October I think. I believed the emporers new clothes like everyone else at the start of last season but the bloke cannot score at this level.

They obviously do know. But, why not deal with it sooner and give others the head start?

This, although IMO Barnes is good in support, in midfield, or as a sub. CMS = a £2.5m rising to £3.25m headless chicken, and not a natural footballer whatsoever.
Only 1 stat matters - winning & 3 points. Don't care about we had more attempts or allegedly played quite well. Who cares.

Yes, a continuation, they have only replaced the loan players from last year. We have not progressed greatly. Gus' style and the lack of fire power has not been addressed.

Exactly.

PRECISELY! The only thing that matters is winning football matches!
Honestly, how can you even say that? Do you really think they haven't been trying right from the close-season, if not before? Unfortunately things just aren't that easy, especially when it comes to strikers and when you have a limited budget. Players and clubs hold out for more, agents work around all the clubs to get the best deals. I'm sure the striker has been just as much, if not more, of a priority than our other signings, it's just that the others have gone more smoothly and easily, mostly due to them being free agents I suspect.
I think you're probably right.

yeah i think they've been sitting there only getting one player at a time and then moving on to the next one.
