Sure he has now put on 10KGs. This Coach is a clown. If he had Messi he would not play him beacause he would be too small and too light

He also said Singh has been eased into the team as well, just like many others to see how they go for next year but don't let your not-so-subtle views blind your judgement.

I see our usual lack of confidence. While we are defending well, CCM is not exactly Barca.

we'll never win anything unless we can do better holding onto the ball - feels like we say that every season.

Central often start strong and then fall away... hoping the pattern stays the same.

might  not with the chances we are giving them, Galloway, Doyle and burns have been poor thus far.

I can see an improvement in having Tando in the goal - he looks more assured than Italiano ever was.

It would be great to start winning some possesion.

I know it sounds crazy but I honestly tuned in assuming that after last week we would be all fired up and full of beans. Instead we are playing like we expect a 6-0 hiding. So it's business as usual.

Fox and Dura have done well so far, defused most attacks well enough.

Having said that, a guy of Da Silva's speed and skill can do a lot of damage to a slow defense.

we have players with speed and skill - albeit not in his class but we should be doing a lot better on attack. You can't counter attack by hitting a long ball and hoping.

Patterson on for the second half?

Ten minutes earlier Burns let the ball roll over the sideline in our half in a very similar lazy fashion

It's a mystery to me why we aren't getting two of the most dangerous wide players in the league to run at opposition defences and create some havoc. A massive waste imo. Considering our resources this attack is really feeble.

doesn't matter anyay- they could run at the defence all night - there wont be anyone in the box to receive the ball.

There is no attempt to play through Roy or Burns. Long balling through the middle to no one. Do they train together this lot?

Couple of nice curling balls from Doyle so far. One of the few positives!

The reason is - in my uneducated opinion - that are losing it in the midfield so it does not get to either.

Both Burns (unfit) and Krishna (recovering) seem slower tonight than acceptable.
