He's a bad, bad ref. Never a foul.

I really want to like Brereton, but his first touch is shocking.

This ref is terrible - that Boro player just raked his studs down Bennett's calf and he waved for advantage. Fair, but that's a bloody booking.

Pulis hasn't done anything magical tactically, he's just got a squad playing coherently. It's not rocket science.

Can't defend either.

Of all the players to focus on after this performance...

Should have sold him when West Brom offered at the end of the summer transfer window.

As I said after Wednesday, good lord we're shite.

Couldn't stand him as a player either.

He played well mid-week, but then he was put upfront for once. Pushed out wide on the wing he struggles.

Just the five players being played out of position then.

God we're shit. So is this league.

We needed fullback cover. If Nyambe is injured then we're in trouble as Bennett isn't a RB in any shape or form. He's been absolutely embarrassed today.

He didn't lose the ball, he wasn't strong enough in the tackle. That was also about a minute before the ball went in. What is everyone else doing?

Shocking goalkeeping, but shows the standard of this league. A deflected ball that just looped up in the box and nobody dealt with it.

So did Nuttall come on for Graham? Is he playing upfront with Dack in behind?

Well this is embarrassing.

Dack holds us back when we play so defensively, yes. He's too slow to play the counter attack football that formation / team selection favours. Armstrong is also a far, far better player centrally. Another one that is wasted out wide. He should be our impact sub from here on out.

If Brereton can't get a game ahead of Nuttall then it's £7m down the drain.

Bennett's energy and ability to run with the ball makes such a difference in midfield.

Could you please find us a couple then so we don't have to see Williams and Bennett at fullback ever again? Ta.

Bell is playing down the left hand side by himself. Reed continues to drift inside. It works with Nyambe because he's a better player, but that's asking too much of Bell. Nuttall has just been shit, I'm sorry to say. Winning the odd flick on to nowhere doesn't push my buttons I'm afraid.

Ok, go and find us better for £300k. He's twice the player Williams is.

He can't cross so he's wasted out there. He's always holding it up looking for an overlap, or just popping it back inside to a stationary Dack / Evans / Travis. Just pointless.

I'm watching the game. I'm not quite sure what people want out of Bell. As for Nuttall - he's just a donkey, unfortunately. Shocking first touch.
