We keep missing chances and get punished. That's the level we play at it just doesn't seem to get through to some of our players.

Zaniolo off which I understand, but really Ollie is lucky to be on the pitch.

By default presumably, as we don't have anyone to replace him...

Digne's been total shit since the window closed. Funny that.

So has McGinn, so has Watkins, so has Martinez.....

McGinn has been more than decent today. One poor pass so far.

Kamara has been awful much of this season so far.

Torres is a weird one, looks so cultured on the ball, bringing it out from the back, but runs like he's got clogs on.

That's what happens when you only have 1 striker I'm afraid.

Amazingly, I'm genuinely pleased to see Bailey come on. He'll get some joy.
Or fall over a lot then hurt his back.

He's done next to nothing.

I'm afraid that is correct.  It's looking a decidedly dodgy outcome that.

That was a superb long pass by Bailey to Watkins. Wish Bailey shot himself though.

We’re not scoring here. We just look a bit disjointed.

Bit harsh, also think of the trauma to the kids at the ground seeing that happen.

This team and manager have no guts whatsoever.  Once they go behind they just give up.  Pathetic
