I was extremely worried by how Widell and Inoussa played tonight. Widell looks like a dud.
Inoussa has more about him going forward, but he does like a stupid foul. One of those led to their goal tonight. He needs to use more judgement in the heat of battle.

Widell hasn’t looked like a dud in the last two games he’s come on though. Inoussa also a raw talent who will get better I reckon. I don’t like managers skipping the basics and going off on one. Even if it was an unimportant Cup game.

There’s something just not clicking when we attack. This has been happening for a number of years.
A lot of new players that need to gel but to me, they all look tidy.

He was really bad tonight

Don't give him that much credit.

It's getting embarrassing now.

They are all tidy players. I think a midfield of Stamenic,Franco and Galbraith is the way forward.

Winger wise, all different but very much similar in that they want the ball to feet and not one of them has the pace to run onto a pass behind the full back and stretch a back 4.....how no one in the club has or can't see that is beyond me.

The vast majority of centre forwards will tell you they much prefer facing the oppositions goals when having the ball played into them.......also helps having the opposition defenders also facing their goal aswell.

Fook Fulton was doing tonight mind!
Playing central midfield but continually receiving the ball at right centre back/right back in the 1st half.

His time is genuinely up with us now......it's not even a debate.

I’m not making excuses for him, but he was nursing his groin (ooh matron!). He would have come off if we hadn’t made all our changes. That won’t have helped him.

Galbraith shows the level we should be aiming for now. He’s been really impressive.

I like Stamenic so far.

He looks like a player who is strolling but suddenly finds a perfect pass. Seems an intelligent player. Don't think him and Fulton work though. We need a player in front of him with creativity and speed.

I find it difficult to judge on a game like this. All the new signings looked good against Watford but relatively poor at times tonight. Doesn’t mean they’re poor players or that they’ll be playing that way every game.

I thought we had control over the first half, although we weren’t anything special and I don’t want to see Stamenic and Fulton in the same midfield again. We probably should go in 1-0 and the second half may not have been so arduous for us.

Still lots of new players bedding in and hopefully a few more to come. If we’re looking disjointed halfway through the season, then it’s time to question, but for now - we won, let’s focus on the next game.

Of course him and Fulton don’t work.

No one with Fulton works.

This makes for mostly grim reading.
