    A contrast to Sparkey's thread to give some balance on here.

    Ralls, Collins, Nelson and as an outsider Ng.

    Morro could be there but I'll cut him some slack as he has just returned from a long injury break. I expect him to improve from Saturday.

    I'm glad you didn't mention Bacuna there Bluey - I think he gets some unnecessary stick on times and has become a scapegoat for bad team performances.

    For me, Collins' goals pre-season led to over-expectation in the real world of the Championship. Strong and willing doesn't make him right for us. Definitely one of Mick's "boys" who needs to justify his place on the team sheet.

    I thought about Bacuna, Sparks but cut him some slack for his work all over the pitch. He rarely gets credit for that.

    I guess it could be argued that they're all underperforming at the moment. I always find it difficult to comment on things like this because I'm never sure if it's the individual that's lacking or if it's the confines of the way they're told to play.

    Are you in a round about way saying that it's Mick who's underperforming?

    Not treally. I'm saying that I'm really not sure. It could be that Mick is doing a great job with dodgy players or on ly affordable players, or it could be that he is holding them back. I really can't make my mind up. I told you I find it difficult <confused> <laugh>

    Bacuna , Ng.

    Collins needs a goal.

    To be fair Ng has had Covid and probably isnt up to full speed.

    Bacuna, Collins, and Ralls for me have been distinctly average at best.

    Both wing backs they need time to settle
