Well be better second half we always are, especially in the last 20. Weve got this

 

[K23]

Anyone want to wager Idah scores a hat-trick second half?

I'd rather Bobby Wales do it and Sheehan learns a big lesson.

 

[FearOfAJackPlanet]

There was some chatter about being fearful of 'top 6 Charlton' coming into this game, but in true Championshp style, they've been revealed to be bang average pub team. If we hadn't made the worst possible decision in every instance we've been around there box, we'd probably be 2-0 up by now and cruising to 3pts. We'll probably end up losing.

Whoever decided to spend £9million on Idah deserves the sack

Would love to know what scouting was done on him to suggest he was going to improve this team

Idah and Eom have both been utterly awful

Eom twice has had all the time and space in the world to pick out a ball or a shot and has completely gotten both of them wrong. He hasn't once beaten his man and created anything, admittedly the long ball football is not helping him, I don't like this 5 4 1 nonsense

Idah has been even worse though. He had an absolutely golden opportunity, he only had to put in an easy pass to Franco for a tap in but instead he tries to take a man on and try some absurd back heel. He has won nothing in the air, loses every physical challenge and doesn't seem to even be able to trap a bag of cement.

Inoussa for Eom and Wales for Idah needs to happen.
We need to ditch one of the three defenders for Widell behind the striker too and try to get some actual football played.

If this trough of shit continues the owners will already be looking for Brendan's number

 

[Pegojack]

This has got all the makings of a late 1-0 defeat against a rubbish team because we can't create and take any quality chances. If I had any hair, I'd be tearing it out now.

The reported figure was 6m, and even that would be including add ons which so far he doesn't look even anywhere close to realizing.

[Blackpooljack]

Idah was poor at Norwich, slight better at Celtic in the pub league that is Scottish Premiership.

He was never going to be a decent signing. Panic buy if you ask me.

Absolutely a panic buy and it for sure will end up being a very bad decision

 

[Menston4128]

Awful awful game of football. Any time we get a sniff of a chance it goes high and wide. Our xg this season is up there with Sousa era

Our defending isn't though

 

[Michu78]

I wouldn't judge Idah until he's at a decent run of games. I was 20 mins late today and wish I was 45 mins late and possibly longer. The standard that is on show is league 1 and below stuff.

 

[Swansea93]

Absolutely a panic buy and it for sure will end up being a very bad decision

Exactly this I think we signed him thinking we would be selling Vipotnik.

 

[Menston4128]

Absolutely a panic buy and it for sure will end up being a very bad decision

It pains me to say, however Jerry Yates would be better than Idah

 

[ABSwan]

I love the way our fans write a player off almost imediately and never change their mind. Time will tell if Idah will be a good or bad signing. As has been said many times before over many players, especially strikers, as strikers quite often need more time than others to aclimatise to a new team.

 

[bakajack]

I want to see Wales get a chance but I know we will see another non performance as a lone striker from Cullen instead
