I only saw the second half and was impressed with the forward movement, if not so impressed with some of the crosses. We did well to see out the mini attacking spell WBA had, although it wouldn’t have surprised me had we conceded.

We have to go up this season, it's embarrassing that we our U23s are not in Division One with all the money invested into Staplewood.
We started to go backward when we signed **** like clasie and not giving our youngsters a go instead.
Such a poor statement. Clasie was considered an up and coming international footballer. A good player who sadly didn’t work out. Shall we not sign any new players, just in case they’re not as good as the kids coming through?
Also none of the kids coming through are that good anyway. There is a reason why the last 3 managers have largely ignored all of them.
Because the last three managers (although I think Puel should have been given longer) have been crap. A few of the younger players (kids is an insult) have been good enough to be given a chance but non of the managers have the balls to do it. Hughes is probably the most spineless of all and is only in it for himself. No communication with the players, poor training and a list of excuses. The club is going where it deserves to go- the championship and hopefully will regain some of its identity, sell some of the over paid dross it’s signed (if there are any buyers) and introduce some of the younger players that are prepared to play for the club rather than collect a pay cheque. Complete shambles at the moment and vastly different to how it was 3/4 years ago.
