    Oh I agree, though I'd argue that Charlie is a better finisher but that's neither here nor there really.

    I still want to see him, Boufal and JWP as the 3 behind Carillo.

    What exactly do you expect him to do when he gets the arse end of games to try and find some form? As I just said to TLL, he's a striker. He needs a run of games in a two up top alongside Carrillo. Saying he's ****e because he doesn't rescue us every game is a nonsense.

    Possibly Wigan but not looking likely.

    100% agree with this.

    Cannot give a pre match interview saying 'only a win will do' and then set the team up to keep it tight all first half

    Bertrand was trash today. Not a good enough performance, we needed a win

    It really isnt though.

    If he would have scored, everyone would have said thats why Gabbi needs to start! (see last weekend) so when he wastes one of the best chances of the game with an air kick, i can point out that he perhaps doesnt deserve to start because he doesnt play particularly well

    We needed all 3 points but 1 will have to do for now. I dont know if i was watching a different game to some of you but i saw alot of positives in that. I should prob whisper this.....but i thought redmond was pretty good today too

    You were so ready to see anything he did wrong, you missed the big bobble. That happens. It's not because he's crap.

    After-match briefing should be to get all the players to giv
    Totally agree. Hopefully just an off day but the amount of errors and mistakes from near-no pressure moments was so disappointing to watch.

    Better than a loss....as important Stoke didn't win, but that's about all. The torture continues.

    Do you think if he’s played with a strike partner for 12 games earlier this season, he’d have scored goals?

    I do.

    Yeah, happy to be off to the Championship with us. Nobody is going to want him if he keeps playing like he did today.

    The hatful of goals that he scored when he joined us, and we played in a way that was complimentary to him was just luck of course....

    Not sure why you think I have something against Gabbi - id rather him start than Shane Long.

    In fact, after all i have said i would probably start him next week. We do indeed look better with 2 up top and whilst Austin is out he is in our top 2 strikers for sure.

    My point was that everyone thought he was great because of 1 goal against burnley - he needs to do a lot more to impress me.

    There were no positives today; or did you mean this in blue?
