I’d agree if we’d have blown 25 open goal attempts.

Truth is 3 shots on target against a very ordinary Hull side.

Creativity and pace needed

BTA is most definitely not the answer and nor is the wank formation

Crossing today was very poor, on the whole.

It’s not just the strikers, it’s all very slow and predictable working it into areas. Looping crosses when the strikers on his own against 2 centre backs is a hard watch

Wright can’t play down the middle. It just doesn’t work.

Simms didn’t even get a sniff and BTA is just crap. Bassette not even in the squad anymore.

We need to move 3 on and bring 3 new in. We just need something different.

Kyogo was everything BTA wasn’t last night.

for me you have EMC and Wright rotating on the left and Simms and a quality 9 for the striker role

Brau cannot be backup LW

We need a Kyogo type who really brings an attacking edge.

Can’t blame the strikers when we continually get to the bye line and invent new ways to cock it up.

I am not too worried. Yes, we need another striker, but our number one striker, didn't come on until the 67th min and was also still not match sharp.

If we had, had a fit Wright on from the start of that game, we would have won, I'm sure.

Aside from bta tackling torp and being too busy making sure his shorts are rolled up. Terrible first first and decision making.

Wright, may as well not have bothered.

Last night was probably the first time you’ve ever watched him play.

And we’re not spending a club record fee on a 30 year old are we. Probably can’t afford his wages either.

I’ve watched him plenty and he’s the exact sort of player that BTA is if BTA had a first touch and could finish

While Wright isn’t match sharp it always seems to be a get out of jail for him. He needs to start showing sharpness more often.

That Lampard wouldn’t put Simms on over an unfit Wright is pretty damning.

I feel like I did after Sunderland in that I’d be happy for the loft of them to be shipped out, not going to happen now though is it.

So he’s levels above BTA and costs the transfer fee and salary to match. So why is he relevant lol

If we are going to whack crosses as our only way of scoring we should have gone and tried to sign someone like Keiffer Moore

Because he would be better than BTA and Simms?

Ok. They didn’t set the world alight. But you have to acknowledge there was zero service.

Im critical of our striking options and think we need to replace a couple of them BUT until we start feeding them instead of the ponderous slow walking we do with nobody daring to make the final pass then anyone will struggle in there.

We did. It's just that they fucked about and started dancing by the ball instead of having a shot.

Wright got it to feet multiple times
