Probably? When was the last time you saw ACD run down the touchline on the outside of a player? Kargo did it to two lads in a row (before the CB came and cleaned it up). He's clearly quite quick. ACD is clearly quite slow.

Worrying isn't it? We possibly don't have a League standard GK on our books if he thinks Toth is worse.

Yeah Weimann is a 20 minute impact sub. He was completely lost today - didn't stick near Gueye for the flick ons or drop into CM to help there.

The Colback shot was basically a yard from being straight down the middle. No better than the Gueye shot that their GK handled easily. I didn't blame him for the first one.

I genuinely think Beck is carrying an injury. He's soldiering through because there's nobody else.

Buckley was really poor tonight.

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...
