I thought it was OK. That’s all. I didn’t think it was an amazing performance. Just OK.

No I didn’t. You’ve misheard this off someone else and I’ve corrected you before. I know why King sacked Robins, so far I’m not seeing this huge step change a new manager has made to these players. I still think this group needs 3-4 new faces in, which you seem to accept.

We play a 442 out of possession with Rudoni moving up so his position will be skewed by that.

If you’ve spent £45m and are still missing a few key additions your recruitment has been poor. We’ve overspent on a lot of OK players. That’s poor recruitment. It’s meant we are short experience and quality that stops us being a top six side. £45m for mid table isn’t good.

Yeah and we should have got 2 or 3 at WBA, we’ve had great xG all season. Aren’t we third or something in the xG league?

Poor recruitment is one of the problems you mentioned that’s stopping us being a top six side.

Im trying to say four games in and I’ve seen some good things and some not so good things and it’s too early to call because results have been about what I’d expect.

No recruitment has been poor VFM and were going to rely on MvE and Simms doing a 180 to rescue any profit.

Im not expecting a huge unbeaten run. I’m expecting a few wins and a confidence boost. I do expect us to win our next match though.

What Palmer O’Hare gave you was ball carrying through the middle. Until yesterday we’ve lacked that massively this season. But looked like Rudoni has started to pick that mantle up a little which is great. He had the ability to run at players and we need much more that.

I can’t see him agreeing to that.

Problems at a top six club don’t make it a bottom six club.

We need a crack squad of about ten members that can get decent songs written on here (wait I may not have thought this through) and then turn up to matches (hang on) and start good chants.

Were playing 4 of the bottom 5 damn right I do!

Would you say yesterday was better than Wolves or Man Utd? I’d not even put it above Boro this season or Sheff Utd. We looked good in bits, our attacking play is coming on, but we still needed 3.18 xG to score and still conceded basically out xG. First half we were dominant and went in losing...

And I think it’s “Mason-Clarke running down the wing, scoring goals, making city sing” (or makes the city sing)

I don’t get why we haven’t changed the first two lines.

We won 2-1. It should have been, but so should many games this season, but we did what we always do and gift a goal and miss our chances combined with a lot of not very threatening possession. It wasn’t close to a Derby or whatever, but it wasn’t great against frankly the worst side I’ve seen...

Ive not seen anything to suggest the squad isn’t poor tbh. I don’t think we’ve played particularly well under Lampard yet. I’d argue our best performances this season have been under Robins and maybe Carr, but even they were just average performances from these players last year. At the very...

It’s why I like stats. There’s so much room for confirmation bias in football. So many incidents you can view different ways it’s easy to just go with your existing views. But if you say “sheaf gave the ball away all game” and it’s there in black and white that he didn’t there’s not much you can...
