O Brien - 1 , not a lot to do and he did it terribly
Hyam did ok , Willis did what he does and row Zs it when needed. Everyone else not great, can someone get bakayako some Augmented reality glasses that show him the offside line in real time !!!
Notes for the weekend . Play burge. Get Allassani on. play Bayliss down the middle.
Thing is, I'm not sure we can conclude on the poor signings yet, Marty.O'Brien - 0 - How is he a professional football, I've seen semi pro keepers look far better then him.
Rest of team - 1 - They only got a 1 as I want to show how bad O'Brien was.
Robins - 0 - Absolutely clueless. I said at the end of last season his position needed looking at as hes incapable of changing games. Poor signings, poor tactics.

If we had, had this same conversation at this exact point last season we would pretty much all be saying McNulty was a poor signing.
Not looking great, but we do need to give players at least 10 games. Before the season we were all hearing great things about Ogogo and Brown and Sterling and to a degree, Hiwula too.
We need to ascertain whether these players aren't good enough, or just aren't good enough at the moment. Andreu was quite poor on Saturday and apparently Tom Bayliss was dreadful tonight. We do need to give players time.
Bayliss was down the middle, he was shocking.
Hiwula comes on with the ball at his feet and shows some class touches.
Interesting to note he got bullied off the ball on Saturday too. Hardly happened at all last season from what I saw.Doyle wasn't in the game, he was shit scared of Spearing.

Maybe a season too far for him this time?
Not blaming him. Just saying he doesn't look the same player.Unfair to blame Doyle. Robins has fried to build a team a round accommodating Andreu and it is not working. He needs to back to 4-4-2, and quickly.
And the award for most ridiculous over reaction goes to.....Bakayoko 0 - Currently battling for top spot on the most inept strikers we've had in the 21st century. Didn't win a header all night. Offside every other ball forward.

He was offside an inexcusable amount of times but Biamou was worse on Saturday when he came on. He had no service. You can't really judge a striking performance in that game.Where is the overreaction? I think most would agree that was one of the worst performances from any striker in their time supporting the club.

Everything he touched turned to shit. Never mind though. That kind of confirms my thoughts.Biamou was clearly not worse on a Saturday.

Biamou was clearly not worse on a Saturday.
I was the first to say Biamou had his worst game Saturday but he still made one of two good touches and won the ball in the air.
Bakayoko did nothing other than stand offside and fail to win a header for 70 minutes.
He was. Same here, I quite like him, but that was awful from him on Saturday.He was, at least Baka setup 2 counter attacks with decent touches when he got the ball properly. I like Biamou, but he was dire.
He isn't a target man though. It's like moaning McNulty isn't winning things in the air or Chaplin. Aimlessly hoofing forward for 70 minutes to him on his own is pointless. It was obvious after the first 3 times of doing it against Wimbledon.
Granted, and as stated in my ratings, players like Willis constantly punting balls in the air is part of the issue.
However, I've never seen a player of 6'4 fail to win a header like he does.
The problem is, if he isn't a target man, what is he? He's not quick, his touch is poor, he isn't going to create chances. I wanted him to prove Walsall fans wrong but they have been correct with everything they said.
