It’s very early in the season to draw many conclusions about them or any team.
Despite what was a shocking performance mainly I think a lot of those signings make sense. The squad that came up would’ve really struggled. Parkinson is an experienced manager but maybe a bit out of his depth for a team aspiring to be at least comfortably mid-table this season and building most of a team at the same time. But Moore, Sheaf, O’Brien, Doyle (loan) and even Coady make sense if he can get the tactics right. Some really basic errors from them for the first and third goals. As hilariously slow as Coady was for the third, the manager/goalkeeper are surely aware of Burrell and the keeper needs to be starting ten yards higher when they’re pushing up the pitch. At the moment the game plan seems to pretty much be to get it wide and hope Moore gets on the end of a cross which isn’t the worst plan but doubt he’ll keep up his form or fitness.
