4-1 i think it was. A mate of mine text me saying it would be ok as Coyle was a decent manager who knew what he was doing........?

World class is a bit strong but it's used too often these days and has subsequently been watered down a fair bit. I reserve the term World Class for the Messi's/Ronaldo's of the footballing world.

I think the frustration for me is that we do have some good players. Last season, at one point a play off push looked like it was on the cards, ultimately we fell short (badly). So the plan for this summer should have been to build on that. Try and keep hold of our core players (Arma, Dack, Trav, Nyambe, Lenihan etc.) and improve the weakest areas. We aren't a million miles away, i think we have a chance to make a genuine attempt at making the play offs this season but only if we can sign a centre back (or 2) and a left back. Our manager seems far too relaxed about the situation and we don't seem to be progressing with any real urgency to sign anybody. When this season is done and we go into the next summer, i think we will look back on this season as real wasted opportunity, we are likely to lose a couple of our better players as well. Dack, Arma, Travis, Nyambe, Lenihan have all (bar Nyambe) been linked with moves away in the past so you would imagine clubs are keeping tabs on them. The chance we have now might not be there next summer but it feels like we aren't trying to grasp the nettle and go for it, a real shame.

How much did we actually sell King for?

They have a manager

Agreed. As you said above, when we were at our lowest under Kean, the pressure still didn't reach them. It's a huge problem for sure though, it's impossible to put any trust in Venky's after these last 10 years (10 years, really? ?) and the fact that they have detached themselves so much from the club/fans.

I doubt they have heard of him but that's surely part of the problem, they are so completely detached from the club?

The new left back? ?‍♂️

Its all very depressing really.

Its a horrific thing.

Ah, a thing of beauty.

Are you asking us or telling us?

Is this the midfielder?

Not sure of this has been posted.

Tough game and we just don't win on the opening day. I reckon we'll actually take the lead through Armstrong before Bournemouth come to life and put us to the sword. 3-1

This catches me out on the BBC all the time. BREAKING NEWS: Chelsea sign De-Bruyne in club record deal. *opens article* Chelsea have signed Mary De-Bruyne from Doncaster Belles... FFS.

Apart from that, his attempt at defending/stopping crosses was pathetic

He's not very good. He doesn't offer a great deal and doesn't really have any standout attributes to work with. He doesn't have pace, rarely beats a man, can't cross, his finishing is abysmal, he often makes the wrong decision when in the box when it comes to passing or shooting. When he does get into the right position, like today and the other week, he puts it wide when he has a great chance or an open goal to aim at. I'm certainly not of the opinion that he should be given a load of games running in hope he'll improve. Armstrong only improved because he was finally played in his correct position.

Missed the last 25mins but great to see that we grabbed an equaliser. Bell played well for the most part but we still need a LB and CB. JRC looks much better in an attacking role. Should be starting against Bournemouth there. I'd be dropping BB though.

Shame for Fisher but hes just cemented his case for back up/loan

After a shakey start, hes done well. Brereton has been abysmal when tracking back. Hes the next Jason Lowe, runs up to people and does nothing. Didn't even attempt to stick a leg out to block crosses.

Big test for Magloire today. That back 5 isn't looking particularly strong. When is Kaminski out of Isolation?
