Already like the look of Beto

Looks like an upgrade on what we have at least.

Looks like Garner at right back with Young in front of him.

Should have got a foot on the ball early on and slowed the game down. 

Playing like headless chickens just played straight into their hands, got their crowd up and ultimately gave them the impetus to score.

Desperately needed a calm, experienced head in there.

Big subs at half time.

The whole front 3 need to come off for me.

Ideally, everyone but that's not possible.

They'll get an absolute twatting in that dressing room.

 

They better had be because forget lack of effort - they ran around enough (in circles and deadends) - but just absolutely zero quality.

I said earlier, it's like watching schoolboys playing.  

Absolute dross. Don't think I've ever seen a poorer half.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha 

All I can do is laugh at these clowns!

Jesus Christ! What the fuck am I watching?

Dobbin needs to settle himself. Trying to rush himself too much.

That goes for the whole team.

It's like watching schoolboys play. When they get the ball, it's head down and run forward. When we don't have the ball it's just chasing the ball.

We need to dictate the tempo a bit more here. All a bit frantic at the moment, and I feel that's playing into their hands a bit.

They're gonna be trumpeting players like this till Deadline Day.

Best to ignore it.

If he scores more than Maupay then success for me.

That's a low bar. 

I'd like to see double figures.

Intelligent player that Brainthwaite.

We obviously lack quality in the final third, but I think the effort was there, which after last week was the minimum required. 

The result was disappointing, but if we continue to play like that, we will get better and our luck will change.

But it can't be that we have one match where we create but fail to take our chances, then one week where we fail to turn up. There needs to be a consistency in the level of performance.

The young lads did ok. Branthwaite did enough to bench Keane for the foreseeable. Dobbin was ok. Chermiti had a good cameo.

We'll need luck to be on our side with injuries this season cos the squad depth is not there.

Doucs        Danjuma     Dobbin 

That's today's team unless Dyche changes his mind and bottles it.

 

 

 

 

We're definitely going to lose if Pickford is playing left keeper.

Sorry @duncanmckenzieismagic, it's not a jab at you. I just really dislike the Echo website. I understand they have to make ends meet with all the ads and clickbait, and just the general churning out of content - but I just think it's an awful site. 

As for the article, an article of 573 words, 404 of those words (70%) were directly taken from another newspaper. Smells like plagiarism to me.

...btw, yes I did calculate that just to try to prove a point!

Is that what counts as journalism these days? Basically copy-and-pasting what someone's written in another newspaper and presenting that as news.

The original and full article can be found here* without the annoying ads and clickbait. 

Anyway... Can't argue much with what he's saying. We're an atrociously run club. I fear that if we end up in a relegation fight again things could get very ugly indeed.

* try deleting cookies if you can't see the full article. 

If we don't get a decent striker in, especially for the reason that we can't afford it, then it's gonna cost us more in the long run. 

And not even in the long run! Without a decent striker coming in we'll be sacking the manager again come Deadline Day in January.

That'll be another season and another how many millions wasted on manager payoffs.

Oh, and add on top of that relegation.

Get the lad in. Come on Moshiri, you promised us a striker months ago!

6 weeks of 3 years sober mate

Maybe I need to move abroad and start drinking again, think that was the last time we were only frustrating!

If you end up in Poland let me know, we can go to the pub and not have a drink together

Funny you say that, becuase there is actually another Balde at Troyes, but it's Thierno not Gari.

Apparently, Bill already call about him.

He said "Can I have one of your Balde's?"

Some french guy answered, "There no Balde here!" 

So he hung up.

With DCL out again for a while we need someone better at leading the line than this lad.

That might see him out for 6-8 weeks I reckon.
