When Scotty Boland is outscoring 4 (almost 5) of your top order you've got big problems.

I don't think we've played badly, a bit predictable but we seem more willing to get numbers forward which is a good sign. That being said, Cullen has to come off at half time. An utter waste of space.

This smacks of a new manager playing the longest serving players to try and have some form of solidity in his first game. He'll be expecting them to lead by example before he can truly get his messages across and pick his best XI. It's just unfortunate that those longest serving players include...

Even as a hypothetical it makes my skin crawl.

I think it's difficult to judge players when we change the staring XI so often. Outside of Galbraith and Burgess (our two brightest sparks from the summer) no player has had a run of starts to be able to nail down their ability. When you're buying young players who haven't played in England...

Genuine question, what evidence is there that he's an average manager? He's done well as a caretaker but as so many have proven before him there is a massive difference between that and the full time job.

Boro will be looking for a manager soon. Manning can't survive today at Norwich. We have to act quickly and decisively or we'll be stuck with the dregs of the manager market.

It's not bloody surprising that they get an assist from the left when we just took our RB off and replaced him with no one! I know Key was having a mare but sometimes a body is better than fresh fucking air.

I'll give you one guess at who was meant to be marking the goal scorer.

That's that then.

They don't look like they've gotten out of second gear to be honest.

Or Ronald for that matter? That's their left back with the freedom of Swansea.

Where the hell is Key?

To be fair it's a problem with the tactics not the formation. If you go back and watch the Norwich game we left acres of space between the defence and the midfield. They just weren't good enough to do anything with it.

Genuinely no positives from that half. One shot from miles out that went miles wide. 2 touches in their box. Zero successful crosses. 4 yellow cards. And to top it all of we are being cut through with consummate ease.
