Regarding the atmosphere, someone earlier mentioned along the lines of how our crowd allow themselves to get wound up over, well, not very much. I doubt it'll have gone unnoticed to the rest of the division that if you want to distract us and quieten us down, simply pick the ball up and move it to the other side of your six yard box.
I think if we had a decent striker with a bit of nous, we'd be winning these games.Wesley has been terrible so far, apart from the Everton game. He gets beaten and bullied far, far too often for a guy of his size. Then instead of working to rectify his mistakes, he sulks and moans.Because he can't protect the ball or find space, we end up under more pressure than necessary. To be honest, I'd rather we'd shelled out for Maupay, who might not be brilliant but looks like a clever, niggly little bastard.

All £3.57 of it?
It comes to something that a 22 million striker (or whatever Wesley cost) obviously needs practice in how to head the ball with venom on the training ground. I still think he will come good. he works hard, chases down and from his goals against Everton and Arsenal obviously has some talent, but his heading (for a big man) is appalling.
I was pleased with Targetts debut and the re-introduction of Conor into midfield, at the expense of a winger. Both contributed and it was only after Targett's substitution that our defense and keeper decided to turn into jelly.I hope Deano continues with the extra man in midfield, certainly until we have more effective wingers.
