Maybe some bias, but I thought he was dire today. The free kick in the first half where we won it off them and were through; why did he pull it back? If the ball was moving, fair enough, but if it was because they took it from the wrong place, that's as poor a piece of refereeing as I've seen.

Positives to take from that: Three points EMC generally Kasey Palmer no longer plays for us

Fucking hell, that was way harder work than it should have been.

Brilliant EMC.

Fuck luck. You make your own. We're not clinical because the decision making is so poor. We concede because the defence is shit. It's as simple as that.

No, they really are that shit. And oh yeah, we're losing anyway. We stopped West Brom attacking us so much they won 2-0.

This is absolutely fucking pathetic. These are the worst team I've seen at this level since Rotherham last year, and we're contriving to lose to them at home. Decision making in the final third is embarrassing. It's impossible to think there's anything positive about this team.

There's not a chance they'll give up on EMC by the end of the season, and they'd be mad to. He's been underwhelming, but he's moved up a level and it takes time to adjust (he's also playing in a very unbalanced side). He may not be the type of player we should have spent big money on, but that...

Corrected that for you.

No. They carried almost no goal threat throughout the game. And beat us 2-0.

It would be interesting to know his actual feelings on his move. It's hard to say it's been good for his career. He should be an established Premier League player by now.

Nothing like as good or dynamic as Hamer (which is fair enough), but good on the ball, quick of thought, and is able to move the ball quickly and decisively with clever progressive passes.

Thing with O'Hare was that he was so active that he always occupied opposition players. Rudoni has a better passing range and is a better technical footballer, but he doesn't have anything like the impact on our game as O'Hare did.

He's the only midfielder we have who can play that more advanced role.

Actually, with Vik at least, we did. Obviously there was zero chance of getting a player of the same quality, we're not in the market for £20-30m strikers, but in Wright, we absolutely got as good a replacement as we could have.

Hello please what now, thank you?

It's not that he's being blamed, it's just another game where he's provided absolutely nothing. Their goalie generally dominated the box and his decisiveness stopped any possibility of a goal on two occasions (Bassette early on then Eccles). There's no chance you get anything like that from...

But also nothing really right, either. He doesn't dominate the box, he's not decisive off the line, he's not brave and he's a dreadful shot-stopper. Obviously nothing he could do about the first one, which was a fluke, but second, though abysmal defending exposed him, it wasn't unsavable.

I don't believe they don't care, but some of the recruitment has been very poor, and Sheaf and MvE don't even look half the players they were last year. I don't know what's going on with those two.

I genuinely don't see what he gives us, other than the occasional dangerous corner.
