Let there be no mistake yesterday's performance was not just one bad day at the office. We played how we usually play but there is no substitute for quality. Roofe is no Robson Kanu and Roberts is certainly no Dwight Gayle. Neither is Bamford. We have a style of play and energy that can get results from a team with more than its share of average players but once the system has been sussed and/ or we come up against quality we are very suspect. The reason we don't create too many chances is we lack quality. We have Roofe through the middle and Dallas and Alioski on the outside supported by Hernandez and Klich. Dallas is a poor defender and not a great winger. Nothing coming from there then! . Alioski can defend but not a great winger. Not too much from there. We rely on Klich and Hernandez to create. Roofe is Ok through the middle but not great anywhere else. If he has to come back to get the ball he is very average. At the back Cooper makes too many mistakes and cannot cope with pace. Problems then when we play decent a team and/ or those with coaches who can devise ways of matching our system. We have Douglas, Jansson, Hernandez, Klich and Phillips has come on a lot. They are decent. Bailly Peacock, Dallas, Alioski (as a winger) , Roberts, Cooper, Harrison, are liabilities if we are talking seriously about promotion. We should finish in the top ten - higher if we strengthen with quality players in our crucial positions.

Any one of seven Corky with the usual dark horses emerging in the spring. Still think that even with no additions we are a good top six bet come May. Although maybe with a few changes to the matchday lineup.

Sorry Hess but robson Kanu is no better than Roofe. I think you’re right on many occasions but Kanu is pants.

The guys have done their best, but we have a weak team that will be overtaken and we WILL lose more matches if nothing is done.
The bench is weak and the academy is not the answer.
Money and sensible scouting/ buying is!

Remember if you pay peanuts you get monkeys!

We have the coach now give him the tools or its a 1 season job!
