Vig, tymon, cabango, urgess, Franco, Galbraith, vip, iniussa are all top champ quality. Galbraith and vig premier league without a shadow of a doubt. Let's not even start to argue otherwise.

I wouldn’t say all are top championship but Vigs is up there and Tymon was the best attacking fullback in the league last season. We know Galbraith has quality. Should still be doing much better, I’m not sure why some think we should be in 17th.

1st goal was a worldie or fluke whatever you want to call it 2nd goal was an individual error whilst chasing the equaliser, the delay in transition from midfield shows we don’t have a general who takes the game by the scruff of the neck and drives forward.

I don’t think this is a coaching issue, its a bit of quality and a bit of confidence

 

[eteb]

If we had 5 players who were ‘top championship quality’ and 2 who were ‘premier league’, we wouldn’t be 17th having won one of our last 6 games whoever was the manager.

People need to get a grip.

It's called coaching lisa. Pointless arguing with you because you have a habit of going against the grain on every post

 

[Copamundial]

Another beautifully constructed counter-argument, like Eteb earlier. The quality of discourse on here tonight is taking my breath away I must say.

You’re talking crap so I’ll treat your post with the contempt it deserves…how’s that for you.

Galbraith Vig and

We’ve played it against 3 really good teams. I think we’ve played better football with it despite the results

I thought we were terrible against Charlton and scored with our only half chance in the whole match, to call it better football is beyond generous

 

[exiledclaseboy]

Im also not buying the narrative that we have an excellent squad of players just waiting to be managed properly to unparalleled success. I’ve seen no evidence that this is anything other than an average group of lower mid table championship players. With a manager to match.

 

[Treehuggerjack]

Not read all the comments as I’m sure some will be in full meltdown.

I think we are getting better
One worldie goal start of first half
One good striker play and key at fault start of second.

We were the much better side, creating a lot more than normal, although making lots of wrong options in the final third.
Think we had about 19 shots to their 4 (haven’t looked though)

Galbraith was far and above better than anything on the pitch
Idah looks like a handful
Samuel’s smith is definitely a good player

My main issues are Cabango playing long balls to nobody and burgess playing ridiculous short balls to their players.
And of course Benson who did nothing.

 

[tardylum]

We won that comfortably on:
Possession
Xg
Shots
Shots on target.

There's only one stat that counts though...

The late Osmajic 1 on 1 may have had them edging the xG

Didn't Gorringe say we saved money on the window cleaners? In his interview? Maybe use that money to get Sheehan Out.

This squad is 17th quality? Really? Fuck all created again and one goal again - you cannot say our players are that bad

 

[lidojack]

When you create as few good chances as we do you can't average a goal conceded a game.

We aren't sound defensively and we are one of the worst attacking teams in the league - which doesn't show any sign of changing.

I just don't see how we are getting better. We look like we are getting worse. Agree on a few points of yours. But overall, this team is being wasted.

 

[tardylum]

And of course Benson who did nothing.

This signing is really frustrating me now. We can give Inoussa time because he is our long term player but we have wasted time and money on Benson for no return. Less so because he has played a little more but it is similar with Yalcouye, who was not even seen as an option tonight to chase the game.

 

[Londonlisa2001]

Mate, we don’t have a single player that would get 20 minutes in the PL. Galbraith is promising but way overhyped. Vig would be there by now, maybe a benchwarmer.

Galbraith is a tidy, technically very good player but he is not standing out at the moment.

He is very promising and may develop, but people are talking about him as though he’s Leon or Joe Allen in their prime. At the moment he’s more reminiscent of Tom Carroll or that other small midfield bloke we had on loan from Chelsea whose name completely escapes me.

I have to agree. Sorry North Hill. You talk alot of sense on this forum, but you keep saying this squad is not good. I disagree. We have good players, you can see that. The coaching is terrible under Sheehan.
