that doesnt make sense though

there was zero chance we kept most of our goals, the only realistic goalscorer we perhaps could have kept is tufan

we needed new signings to score
But that comes from the recruitment policy and in turn left both managers short handed.

Walter had what 11/16 signings in August?

The summer recruitment was ****

But we should be where qpr are(nowhere near playoffs, but closer to mid table and safety)
Not where we are now
 
Crap display from City the difference between last season and this is like night and day there is no getting away from it. First time even this season that I have seen us under the cosh. And I gotta say I was expecting more from Selles in terms of impact on our play and more importantly results. Yes we ground it out until it was nearly over but we never looked like having a chance at winning or scoring.

Selles already has 2 wins
We had 3 total before he came in

We need to accept therell be some horrible games to watch
We just need to stay up

I think Sellés got a bit outcoached yesterday and that’s fine it will happen. Boro’s press had us boxed in and annoyingly we never really adjusted our build up play. Only booted it long and hoped much to the delight of those around me.

Would’ve liked to see us drop another midfielder to help the numbers in the initial stages or just something tweaked a bit. Granted though he’s working with a thread bare squad on its absolute arse at the moment

Agreed, I guess my expectations of the difference he could make were clouded by my visions of Ruben being the next Pep-our Pep. Hopefully he can be that and if he can keep us up with this lot he may well be.
 
Walter came July. He was recruited weeks before.

If he had no input into which players were signed then he was more inept than even I think he is.

He had a say in who stayed & who came. If you think otherwise you’re up there with Dim the tiger.

2 players with any quality are both out for the season. With those 2 fit, hell even 1 of them I think we’d be where QPR are

100% agree, you take the best 2 attacking players out of any team and that team is struggling, Salah and Diaz out for the season and lpool wouldn't be top, saka odegaard from arsenal, Palmer and an other from Chelsea etc etc or as we saw under McCann when turbo and Bowen left.....

First half was even enough, 2nd there was a stark contrast and when they brought their subs on that showed the real difference, their quality off the bench was so strong

I still think in the first half we struggled to control the game. Most of our good moments seem to come from breaks in play in the middle rather than anything we did in build up.

They created nothing though. We had a few decent moments where we could’ve punished them but everything seemed to fall to Burstow who was very poor
 
Undoubtedly the experts are right and it's worse under Selles. That's why we're only averaging 1.2 pts per game under him after reaching the heights of 0.9 under Timbo.

Err so why start a right footed left back? It’s not like it wasn’t known was it

Baz said Drameh was actually taken off because he was ill. Sky were probably just reaching for the simplest tactical explanation in lieu of any real information.

I think there's only a few people who think we're worse now although one of them is very opinionated about it
