Well I've spoken about Pablo before, many argued, are you now satisfied, sounds like Maximus!

He’s useless, and irrelevant as this game was, Rangers for me are like a standard Championship team, that we will meet on most occasions, not top six, many teams are better than them.



I do not want to go on like a broken record, but if you can’t see where we are short now, you never will unless players come in. WH will not win that league and we won’t get promoted, I’ve seen nothing to change my mind.

I agree.
Today's game, he was very poor, slow to react, and will not score many goals with this sluggish approach around the box.

I don't see how we agreed to this deal in the window.

He was indeed poor, but there were pluses (not from him, agreed). Your argument could be more balanced, joyful rather than I told you so. I don't think anybody disagrees that we need more signings, that's obvious. The thought process behind many is to not just panic buy.

I agree that Rangers are the equivalent of a decent Championship side, and for a lot of the game we made them look inferior. I agree we looked weak in the final 3rd and that surely will be addressed.

Dabber, you are the optimist. I'm a realist. Let's see what they do. West Ham cannot be serious if they think they have the squad for promotion at present. That's where I am.

First touch is poor, then he takes about 4 more touches; either falls over or gives it away most of the time, always wants far too long to get his shot away, and he's often not positioned where he needs to be. He works hard, but we need more than that in the Championship. He served a purpose in the Prem when we were sat behind the ball, and we needed someone to run about, occasionally get a tackle in, but really we should be the ones dominating games, saying that, with this current team thing, the games are going to be a lot more even.



We need replacements for Fernandes and Summerville, who we've known are going for some time. Disasi and Wilson also need replaced.

Hoping we jump into action soon. Squad is lacking a lot.

Agreed.

The persistence with a 4-4-2 concerns me as well. I don't think it suits our players, especially when he has the wide men tucking in, which doesn't suit Bowen at all. I currently can't see a midfield pairing that's good enough to do it either.

We've done well getting the amount of money in that we have for those 2, and we need to be close on 2-3 signings by the end of this week.



I don't think we can afford a poor start. We may have the likes of Bowen, Taty, Mavro for one season in the Championship; let's not waste it by not getting a move on and building a team/squad capable of getting promoted.

Divin Mubama. This guy can score, and I think he would be a great option for the Championship if we could loan him for a season.

I don't think he (dm) is the answer. He didn't do too much when at West Ham before. Nothing at City, and 5 goals in 26 at Stoke.
I'm not sure who the answer is. I've seen us linked with some decent players on the continent. But we also need to sort out the supply lines.

Pablo has been with us for over 6 months. Give him a chance? Come on, how long does he need? He's way out of his depth. It's as plain as the nose on your face.
