    We've seen enough of Azaz to realise that he brings next to **** all to the team.

    We've seen enough of Downs to know that he can't hit a cows arse with a banjo

    Quarshie, not entirely sure what he's supposed to bring to the party.

    Fellows apparently played 83 minutes. Made such an impact I didn't realise he was on at all until his name was announced coming off.

    I would assume that your first couple of games as a professional at a new club is where you give it your 100% all. If this is them trying, imagine what the team will look like when they can’t be arsed. Don't need to see any more of them to know we've signed some duds

    What a crock of crap.

    Azaz is almost certainly not a derby style player. He makes chances and scores goals. According to what I have read he is an expert at breaking down teams that sit back - which we will face a lot.

    Downs is young and showed his natural talent pre-season with a great run and sweet finish. He may take a while to get going but there is a player there.

    I watched Quarshie for Germany U21s. He is an absolute physical beast. Pace and power in abundance. He will settle and the rest will be very good.

    Fellows played well in difficult circumstances against Pompey. I have no idea what you were watching.

    And you ignore Jander who everyone was impressed by and Leo who looks like he will be fun to watch.

    That Thierry Henry bloke. Played seven games and hasn't scored. Couldn't hit a cow's arse with a banjo, clearly. Get rid.
    Sadio Mane? Falls over his feet, of which he's clearly got two left versions only. Get rid.
    Bergkamp we've seen enough of to know he's not bringing anything to the party. Seven games and still hasn't scored. Get rid.
    Three games in and that Drogba bloke hasn't even looked like scoring. Get rid.

    You're comparing SRs summer signings to Henry, Mane and Bergkamp? <laugh><laugh><laugh>

    Yeah they'll definitely 100% all be world beaters in their careers. Hundreds of goals and 75+ million fees for all of them

    Imagine writing off your own players after such a short time. Supporter is the wrong word.

    Azaz- Portsmouth didn't sit back?

    Downs- awesome. We didn't need a striker now, we've plenty of goalscorers. No problem with sitting and waiting with our fingers crossed

    Quarshie- likewise. Another player for the future, awesome.

    Fellows- name me one time he beat a man, got an assist or even a shot on target?

    I ignored Jander and Leo because they had next to no time. Leo fell over a lot.

    Felt a bit sorry for Azaz in the first half on Sunday seeing as we constantly hoofed the ball over his head.

    Was more involved In the second although passed up an excellent opportunity to shoot from the edge of the box which was criminal really.

    Looked decent at Watford though. I think he'll be a good signing but will obviously be patchy as those players always are.

    Realist is the right word.

    They couldn't even beat a Portsmouth team made up of £3m of signings and loans!

    Oh, I see. I thought we all enjoyed football because it was unpredictable and the underdog always has a chance. I must be watching the wrong thing then.

    You are welcome to be annoyed at SR but I actually think this is deeply disrespectful.

    Watch it back. Fellows regularly makes a yard and gets good balls into the box. You can be mad we had nobody on the end of it, but you are just wrong here.

    We spent nearly 20 times as much as them. Show me a team we've not lost to in recent years who spent 20x more than us in that summer.

    Sundays result is absolutely appalling, apparently though we can't blame the manager or the players

    Regularly? How many times? Because I don't recall as single occasion where he created anything of any note at all, barring assisting with the injury of their goalie.

    Did we draw against Man City last season? By expenditure they should have won 10-0

    I'm not acting. I'm as pissed off as I've ever been with this lot. That game on Sunday was an absolute joke and I've had 2 days of Skates celebrating their 0-0 win every chance they can. I'm angry at the manager and I'm angry at the players. They let us all down and I'm in no mood to forgive and forget that ****

    No, I’m showing you how utterly ridiculous it is to write players off after one or two games. Which is what you’ve been doing.

    I'm not wrong. I've seen enough to make a judgement

    Edit to say- I'll always judge on what I see, not potential.

    Further edit. I probably need to take a break from posting for a bit until I've calmed down. The game is too fresh.

    I hate SR just as much as you, but you can’t make an assessment of them after 1 game.

    We were all very pleased when Azaz Fellows and Secienza signed.

    At least his tenure doesn’t look as grim as Martin’s
