What sort of a welcome did Maloney get?

what is about Wigan and Villa Park? We've got a decent record up there ourselves and when they come down to us we turn to fucking shit.

Fuck me, Lichaj is absolutely shit.

He is, him and Herd are fucking awful.

Agreed on Herd as well.

Herd is just playing completely out of position.  He does not have the awareness to play centre half but has good energy and grit, which is best used in the spoiling midfield role or as an energetic full back.  He is a better right back Lichaj from what I have seen.

We have far too many very poor players in our squad.

Too many players who are not good enough.

Too much expected of too many young players.

A squad that really belongs in the Championship.

Major investment required in January, or we're in very deep trouble.

Our first 11 is good enough to be lower mid table while the kids learn, but losing so many at once has really killed us.

a side that would include Vlaar, Gabby, Petrov, Dunne, Bent used properly mixed in with the right kids would not be in this much trouble.

It doesn't matter though, because one and possibly two of those were never going to play. We need a much better squad.
Randy needs to start again...

We are in decline while the likes of Everton and Spurs are racing ahead of us. It will be a long way back to where we should be and I'm not even sure the owners would be interested enough to keep us in this league, let alone start progressing properly again. Gambling that our youngsters were the new Man United c. 1993-1996 was a risk that has not paid off. We need to spend about £30m in January to ease the pressure on their young shoulders.

I think we're gonna need a huge slice of luck to win this game. Something like a red card for them or a dodgy pen.

In other news Holman that was fucking Blues that miss.

We do, but one summer under Lambert won't fix that. We need  2-3 years before the squad is how he wants it.

Wigan beginning to show why they're down the bottom.
