Poor. 

New forward options required ASAP.

I'm not sure what I expected today, but it wasn't this.

In 90 minutes, all of my optimism for the new season has faded. What a load of shit. It's like nothing has changed.

Oh well serious work to be done in terms of transfers and tactics. However it's the first day and I shalln't despair quite yet.

Dreadful.

Passed it efficiently for 30 minutes, spent the next 15 under the cosh. Conceded. Second half, stopped passing it totally.

No attacking threat, no urgency whatsoever, and no idea of what to do to get the ball to Darren Bent.

It is only our first game of the season, but really, the squad is nothing like strong enough. Lerner is going to have to put his hand in his pocket, because we saw our weaknesses made very plain today, against a shit promoted side.

That was completely pants. No penetration or threat at all - against West Ham ffs. Didn't seem any sense of urgency - even at the end passing back instead of pressing forward.  Truth is we could have lost by more.  Worrying

Crap. I'm hoping it can only get better, but Randy has to get serious about investing in us - he's had his wake-up call but he's pressed the snooze button.
