I have no idea why people keep pretending this is ok. Don’t think this about being negative but our transfer window has been a joke so far. We haven’t had a clear cut chance in 3 games that I can think of. We’ve looked lethargic in every game. Taylor is somehow still starting 3 games into the season. Clarke is Clarke. Philogene pretends to kick the ball before cutting in and passing it sideways. Davis looks a shell of himself.
Not good enough from the players, to McKenna or to Ashton. |  | | |  |

We’ve not bought what we need, we’ve now lost out on a possible 7 more points than what we have already due to us dragging our feet. Hirst simply isn’t good enough to lead the line for 90 minutes for us, CM’s did ok today but they’ve cost us in the first two games. Clarke is hopeless. | | | |

I don’t even think he says much wrong but his insistence on playing one way and one way only is costing us, no plan B and it’s looking like teams are finding it easier and easier to play against us. It just seems like we’ve lost the spark we once had and I’m not sure it will get reignited anytime soon, everything at the moment just feels slow. Spent £17m on greaves and I’m not sure he’s any better than Burgess but our insistence to play greaves meant burgess didn’t want to play second fiddle. Same with broadhead, I think if we started him last year, he wouldn’t have wanted to move on. Azor looks so far off the pace, doesn’t drive the team forward.
Looks like a team of Individuals rather than a team which is the worrying thing. [Post edited 23 Aug 17:22]

The CMs looked ok because Preston let them have the ball as they knew they couldn’t create anything with it. They didn’t even have to defend that hard, as it was always sideways and backwards when we got to their box. We looked completely and utterly lost and out of ideas 30 mins into the game | | | |

They were a bunch of strangers last week too.
Is this team better than the sum of its parts as the promotion team was? Absolutely not. Are they busting a gut for each other? Only they can answer that. What I do know is that losing is a habit. You get used to it, expect it. So much that after a while you are not even disappointed. It’s the other guy’s fault anyway. It’s how it is in a poor, losing team as anyone who’s ever played in one will tell you.
I had hoped that a change of personnel would help, but it’s not looking that way at the moment. I hope McKenna can turn it around. With radio silence from owners and CEO, it feels like the club is drifting. But that feeling maybe because I’m fed up.
I’m not worried about the defence. They’re not really conceding a great deal. It’s that disjointed inept midfield and utterly toothless forward line that bothers me. Not seen this week’s game so my thoughts are based purely on Birmingham and Southampton.
Edit: patience required (me included) - it’s a very long season and maybe it’ll kick into gear next week. [Post edited 23 Aug 17:40]

I think there’s a lot of problems and it’s hard to say whats needed.
Even if we sign 3/4 players in the next week, we will still look disjointed as they aren’t a team. We’ve let far too many players leave and I think that was partly due to McKenna’s insistence on playing new signings last year which cost lots of money but in reality weren’t any better but more importantly the players we had knew the system and how to play it which money can’t buy. | | | |
