On this basis it's going to be a long tedious season.

Same side as last season. We just won't look outclassed but those thinking that we are going to be right up there from the word go I fear are in for a rude awakening again.  There's no fluidity in the side, to many slow players or one's who take the easy sideways option.

We need some pace, strength and guile added. Still no spine to the team either.

Young goalie
Elphick
Young centre mid
Gestede

Not great at all.

Cissokho at fault there.

Odd that you didn't bother to comment on the Villa goal.

It's almost as if you're only interested in making negative comments.

Not much improvement on last season. Same old defensive errors self-inflicted. No real threat upfront.

Hutton is shit and Cissokho was at fault there, all facts now toddle off and find something better to do with your time than constant insinuating.

It's a bit boring. We still lack that creative flair and spark. We are crying out for pace up front because it is dreadful up there. No movement makes it so hard for our players looking to create opportunities and so easy for the defenders. We are very predictable.

Undone by a couple of passes leaving 3 v 1 at the back. Shocking

A couple of passes and we are left with a 3 on 1 at the back, that's poor. Well taken goal and move by them though.
