Agree with all the positive posts about points tallyHowever, reality is that since the Burnley first half we have struggled.Pessimistic Brummie trait coming through, but should not be ignored. S.Utd had fantastic 1st season but are going down (after beating us)Claret and Blue glasses need polishing to not ignore problem areas.

No pissing about. That’s no reflection on Watkins who was superb in the first half, and worked his bollocks off is the second, but the kid needs help. Davis is not that help and who knows if Wes will ever play again. Smith should be developing Archer instead of sticking with Davis who has failed to produce time after time after time.I actually think Davis has something but whether we ever see it is another matter. I personally don’t think Dean’s handled him correctly.Sorry but Davis gives us nothing and never will. It’s not the managers fault, he’s just nowhere near PL quality. I dread the day Watkins gets injured

who's going to pay money for him? He's a striker that never scores. Loan him out dor a season and see what he can do in a lower league because if there isa level for him that's it.[/quoPerhaps the lower leagues is his level, and if it is let him go as we are just stifling his career. But I just feel he does have something to offer us if used correctly.Anyway i guess this is the wrong thread for this debate.
Criticism of Davis is absurd. He never gets more than 15 minutes and often far less. I’d like to see him up top with Watkins out wide (but interchangeable with movement) for two whole matches before I write him off. Especially as our wingers are unreliable. Trez is ok coming off the bench to help protect a lead but he can’t dribble. El Ghazi is great 40% of the time, Traore 25%.

I suppose if you’re internet connection is going to screw up before a game starts then this is the one where you’d want it to happen. We got a point more than I expected so not a bad outcome having not seen a kick.
