Clearly stronger than ACD and twice as quick.

3 new signings.

For the first time this season I have to put that loss squarely at the feet of the manager. How he continues to trot Pears out there when he's giving away a goal a game is beyond me. Another howler again. If we had their GK it's at least a draw. Then to only give Kargbo 5 minutes at the end is criminal, especially with Hedges stinking out the joint again. You're not telling me he hasn't been running rings round our players in training - he ran past two of theirs like they weren't there then.

Nah once again they brought pace on out wide and upfront. We've brought ACD on.

Eustace clearly doesn't rate Kargbo. Paid £1m for him and hasn't brought him on when Hedges is stinking out the joint. He won't play Toth either despite Pears being a liability. Tells you what he thinks about him too.

Pears strikes again.

Pearsey doesn't make that save, put it that way.

Kargbo must have sat in the stands on Friday and be sat on the bench today thinking "fuck me, I'll start every week."

World class save by their GK from a Dolan shot and an incredible block from Gueye's shot has kept this level.

Watching the Preston game back in full - Hedges is just woeful. You have to start Kargbo if he's fit.

In the Woodley "backup CF" role we'd be disappointed. In the "leading CF signing of this window" role yeah we'd be very annoyed.

It's looking more and more like Rodri won them the league. 😉

You'd have to think Sigurdsson or Pickering, right? Bet Forshaw has travelled with them to London.

Dennis has been left in the cold by a team competing for the Champions League spots. Armstrong has been left in the cold by a team flirting with a record low points tally in the Premier League.

If you want to relive the whole game:

I'm comparing a higher level of football to indicate one player is more talented than the other - isn't that relevant?

Honestly I think it's just that there's literally no money being released into the club. Gestede is wildly underqualified for the role, but even someone like Broughton (who was a good DoF in my opinion) was repeatedly made to look like a fool by the owners and their men on the ground who nixed deals behind his back and withdrew funds. You can't operate like that.

Diallo got Sunderland into the Playoffs.

And yet that's the only time he looked like a good player...

Armstrong has 6 PL goals (in 88 appearances). Dennis has 12 PL goals (in 52 appearances).

Thankfully WBA have a crap manager.

I suspect both - and also played as a defensive winger himself. That's essentially what Hedges is anyway.

Dennis is a better player than Armstrong. Kargbo destroyed Serie C, he's been ok in Serie B.

Technically he asked for 3 players that would come in and raise the standards - players that the rest of the squad would appreciate as being quality additions.

The league was this poor a couple of years ago - it goes in cycles based on the quality of the parachute payment clubs. Sheffield United, Burnley and Luton all got BATTERED in the Premier League last year.
