Been hoping they will start performing but not even a glimmer of improvement. Egeli is a young developmental player so can’t expect too much from him but overall, he’s been a bit disappointing in most matches. Furlong, Kipre, Matusiwa and Nunez doing ok. |  |

I'm not convinced as he doesn't look the type who wants to do the selfless dirty work but he does look to have that strikers movement in the box I think we've seen enough to know Azon is not going to make it. No words for how bad Mcateer is. On the plus side you're right, our recruitment outside of the attacking areas has been fairly decent. |  | |  |

Sadly, so it’s proved. £12M for McAteer is mind blowing. Akpom is performing like a journeyman counting his money. Even Jens has been underwhelming. Same with Furlong. Surely KM has to be held accountable? |  | |  |

Think that's pretty harsh on Egeli. SB |  | |  |

I think the situation would be improved massively if we had a full back who overlaps. Every time the ball went to Egeli it was 2/3 on 1. Furlong nowhere to be seen. As I said on another thread, he is so hopelessly unsuited to playing in a team who dominates possession. [Post edited 26 Dec 2025 15:51]

Agree. Today at least he had 2/3 on 1 each time. We desperately need a full back behind him who is prepared to overlap. |  | |  | Login to get fewer ads

Not talking about the future. Talking about right now. He is so ineffective. So easy to defend against. He’s not particularly fast or skilful and he’s massively one footed. Maybe he’s a number 10 but I’ve seen nothing to suggest that in his current form he’s a RW for a promotion chasing championship team. |  |

I agree on furlong he’s got 0 attacking capability. But I’d love a bit of pace and 1v1 ability from our right winger. |  |

Overall, for 18 months now, when our squad building skills have really been tested we’ve been largely incompetent. |  | |  |

Agree at least Eveli has returned a couple of goals and a couple of assists. Plenty of others with zero goal involvements. |  | |  |
