So if he's feeling the pace, why even put him on the bench? Surely you leave him out the squad. ...or he didn't warm up properly... or coming on cold has caused the issue. Either way, if he's fit, he should start. If he isn't then don't play him at all.

game over.

😂 Only as daft as saying he needed resting to stop him pulling a muscle - that can happen at any time!

Good lad Ayala. Lets start him up top next game.

Probably wouldn't have done his muscle if he'd started and got into the pace of the game.

There just aren't goals in this side.

I'd argue that up to last 18 months, he probably was around champ standard. The last 18 months he's been absolutely useless... at any level.

We had the ball around their box, firing crosses in - yet still only 2-3 in the box..the rest camped outside it. Just don't get it.

Slightly more positive start.

No fan of Swansea approach but thst last attack they got the ball out wide and had 5 players in our box. We only ever have 1/2 at best. Infuriating

Not taken long for JDT to play Sorba as wingback and nullify his attacking threat. Most predictable thing ever. Dolan decent. Rest shite so far.

We don't have anybody that does. He's the only one of the current 'Strikers' who can have a go at it. It's a piss poor state of affairs tbh.

The striking options are awful. Manager has clearly seen enough of Vale and Gallagher. Dolan lits a shift in but doesn't look a threat. Only thing that might work in my humble opinion is BBD central with Dack behind and Hedges/Sorba out wide.

Just seen the highlights. Dack took that superbly but Watford missed 2 absolute sitters second half. Lucky point in the end.

I'd say thats exactly where we are heading. Said it a few weeks ago. First team will be made up the better academy developed players on low wages. Like an under 23 side. All of whom will have a 'for sale' sign round their necks. The under 21 side is where any 'investment' in players will go. Just like the lad we tried to sign from Rochdale. Its the only model that makes sense under these owners.

in the LT article.

Load of bollocks from Broughton. What kind of recruitment policy identifies that we need a striker - as outlined by the manager. Then, despite trying and failing to land one, ignores the striker on the table to pursue a 'star' short term signing? Which he still f**d up. Club are taking the piss.

Poor window even if O'Brien wasn't ballsed up. Striker was the priority as mentioned by the manager and they didn't deliver. How can you claim the recruitment team did its job?

Shite window. End of.

It would be a shocking window if we've actually managed to weaken the forward line. There's been plenty of strikers on the move. The only glimmer, is surely the club wouldn't be stupid enough to loan Markanday out without another body coming in?

As good a signing as O'Brien would be, its pointless without any striker coming in.

That really made me chuckle😂

We wouldn't be surprised in the slightest.

Just logged on. No signings then? Standard.
