That's the problem Hogan Lansbury have been awful .
Elmo has been crap. Bjarny boy can't play football, Taylor is average at this level.
Our 2 central midfield stoppers are old and limited.
So we are relying on Chester, Snodgrass Kodija and Jack when when fit + Hourihane who has had very few good games.
We have some promising youngsters but you can not build a promotion campaign on them.
The squad looks unbalanced and has been randomly put together.

I don't think Hogan has been awful, that Taylor is average at this level or that Elmo has been crap

But there you go

I'm curious how many left backs in this division are better than Taylor?

I'm interested as to how much Championship football you get on US TV to be able to comment one way or the other.

So you're well placed then to tell us who Is better exactly. Unless this is a Jota moment where endless balloons on social media queue up to tell us how great a player they've never seen kick a ball is.

What is the matter with you? you want me to give an analisys of all the teams above us in the league?
No, it's much more fun reading your predictions and post match excuses.

I'd expect to you be able to justify your opinion. Maybe that's asking a lot of somebody fearful of Percy shooting him.

I like Hogan, i don't think he's been awful and Barny can obviously play football, not sure what you're on about there. Lansbury has been poor though.

Hogan has hardly done a thing of note since signing and Barney looks out of his depth so I don't see much controversy in what CL has said.

What is it, one league goal from Hogan? I've got a bit of sympathy for the lad in terms of not playing to his strengths and I've still some hope he might come good but to call him anything but a flop so far would be inaccurate in my view.
