[Martyn Smith]

The old not a clue about offside Ollie back with us...

If we all chip in, can we buy a goal ?

[Proposition Joe]

A bona fide chance! Guessand should have scored. The Roefs on fire.

[Nelly]

I'm telling you, we need those cardboard arrows to help them see the way to the goal.

[Stinkin_Thinkin]

was a decent swivel and shot by Guessand. Encouraging

Yeah but then well brach PSR

[Sexual Ealing]

That was our 50th shot since we last scored a goal.

I’ve lay on my bed watching the first 25 minutes and I’ve done more than Watkins & ‘Morgz’

Surprised you haven't dropped off yet.

[Goldenballs]

Got to score there, but at least it's a shot.

Until Rogers decides to show up this year, we’ll struggle. Just devoid of talent in the final third.

Spot on. He has absolutely been killing us this season.

It’s too simplistic to go, “it’s Rogers”. Front to back we look utterly without a plan - the time Rogers played for England he was one of the most creative players. It’s a team issue before players

No, it’s Rogers. We play with so little width that his position is by far the most important. When Youri’s fit, Morgan is free to roam and given a ton of rope by Unai. Without Youri and in this form he looks average and has far too little impact.

Our creative outlet seems to be Cash.

I'll fetch the bunting.

I have to to say I think mcginns days as an auto starter should be coming to an end. He shows down midfield unbelievabley

[Somniloquism]

Buendia, one of the slowest players to run with the ball continues to run with the ball

The fact he's starting is.a pretty terrible indictment of our transfer business.

I would argue the fact Morgan is starting again is even worse. At least Buendia does look interested in playing for us.

There is definitely an intention to get the ball forward quicker and I’m certainly not going to complain about that too much.
