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.
Agreed, it needs to be well spent too.

Right I don't really know where to start, but Westwood on for Herd and a 4-4-2 will do.

This Joe Bennett bloke looks awful.
I strongly disagree, he's got a lot of talent and will be a good player

This game has the feeling about it - apocalyptic weather, terrible football, restless crowd - of a side reaching rock bottom.

Embarrassing, enough of this 'we go again' bollocks Lambert. Get Herd and Lichaj off the fucking pitch.

Very very poor 1st 30 minutes, looked a bit better since but still a dreadful 1st half.

We're a very, very poor team in very, very poor form. A shocking half of football, even though things picked up in the last ten minutes.
