S25/26 | The Official Match Thread | PNE 2 Swansea City 1 | Att: 15,911 | 05/11/25 | The EFL Championship | Deepdale

I was going to defend AS a bit by saying that you expect a professional footballer to be able to deal with that.

Then he brings on one of the infamous Krap twins. Ronnie Krap.
 
We've invested heavily in our squad which should equate to improvements on the pitch, but it isn't equating to that. Individual errors are not my point, the whole squad performance is. It's like a broken record watching them game after game.
Investing heavily in a squad means nothing if you buy mostly shite. The only two good players we have signed are Burgess and Galbraith. And one of them was free. The rest are, at best, underwhelming, at worst, cack.

We could sack Sheehan tomorrow, we'd probably get a little bounce, but most of this lot would very quickly just go back to being rubbish. More than enough evidence by now for several of them
 
Our squad is better than these performances but it also might not be as good as we thought. By the week our window looks not quite as exciting as we first hoped in August.
I still feel like it’s hard to judge. Burgess and Galbraith have been decent in my eyes. Feels like we’ve hardly seen Inoussa and Yalcouye. Stamenic has been in and out for different reasons. Considering how bad our underlying numbers are, the fact that we’re up and down results wise probably means there’s a decent baseline of quality there.
 
If we could actually attack and create chances then the Key mistake would not have even been relevant. We are still good defensively but these mistakes become meaningful if we do not score ourselves.

And, your protestation is admirable but you're talking tosh
 
The only consistent players we have at the moment are Tymon and, to a slightly lesser degree, Vipotnik.

The rest need a kick to play as a team.

We MUST get back to basics here! The team we have is capable of so much better!
 
If we played until Friday I don’t think we would score - we’re absolutely awful.
Something has to happen in the international break to end this misery.
