    My opinion is that sloth is not up to championship standard and should have been on the bench today against sheff wednesday and murphy should have been on from the start, a good performance but worrying is chances not been taken , what to do about it , easy answer do more shots on thier goal , what is everyones thoughts on getting more goals ?:emoticon-0113-sleep

    Very harsh I feel. Young player and already a full international; remember he has been thrown into a club in full transition from the previous mundane years. I haven't been particularly enamored by his performances but come on, he's better than the **** we had on display last season and there is clearly talent there.

    I believe he'll be very effective once settled, in a confident side.

    Totally disagree, think Sloth will prove to be a good signing. And I'd forgotten Murphy was actually on the pitch for the second half. Completely anonymous. Hasn't progressed at all

    Apparently Darko said that Sloth had a problem in the first half? Picked up a knock or something?

    Absolutely wrong here I think ... Sloth played at the top of the diamond, and simply wasn't getting the service or support from Austin and Mowatt, and not enough go forward runs from the FBs to give him an alternative ball to through the middle ... Murphy when he came on sat in front of the back four so a different role to Sloth ... our issue is that Austin and Mowatt simply can't play a quick passing game and this makes our attacking midfielder look a bit silly because he always seems to get the ball under pressure ... we may be better with Bianchi in front of back four, Sloth and Cook in the middle of the park and someone like Adryan advanced just so we can pass the ball quicker to the front

    You obviously know your football <doh> He's been under par for a couple of games, get a grip.

    Sloth over Murphy any day of the week for me, we were robbed with Murphy, Sloth is still adjusting to the Championship, 18 months on and we are still wondering how on earth Murphy was worth a fee in excess of a million

    Not sure why we brought Murphy and Moro on they did very little.

    To be fair to Morison he only had a few minutes should have been brought on earlier as we neede aerial power I think Sloth will be OK when he settles down to the pase of this league it must be a real shock for him .Antenuci and Beuscoli have settled like ducks to water Doukara has a lot to learn especial on his aerial game Bianchi as not let us down either .Sharp needs a run now especially against Rotherham up next.Silvestri well hes just fantastic I think Mowett is lucky to be in the side completely anonymous yesterdayand Pearce should be replaced by Cooper

    I thought Mowatt did well yesterday. What do I know.

    Sloth is okay, I wouldn't write him off anyway. When settled might become a real asset.

    Think Sloth is decent he will get better as Darko learns more about him and how to play him (abilities, limitations, best position etc) same for all the new players really.

    The few times Moro has come on he's got into a few good scoring positions only for the ball not being played to him.

    Maybe the players don't trust him, like the football you used to play at school never passing to the other kids who were useless ;) <ok>

    I see potential in Sloth but Murphy is getting worse and really hasn't stepped up from League 1

    I'm starting to think Sloth shouldn't be at the head of the diamond personally, think he would work better in a flat 4-4-2 but in the formation we are using he should be in Austin's position really with someone else at the top of the diamond
