I agree with this. But then I think how much work can be done? First goal is obviously sloppy play from Chiwera but the finish is outstanding. Most of the time you get away with that. Second goal Wilson has been caught up field and they've crossed it and scored. I thought defensively we were fine. Zetterstrom hasn't had a save to make. What is letting us down is the decision making in the final third. Just off the top of my head:- Wilson simple pass to set Jackson through on goal. Too much on it and keeper clears it. This is honestly basic. Not sure what can be done on the training ground with this. It's just a really poor pass. Mendez-Laing, who was deservedly dropped in my opinion. I thought he's been poor all season culminating in his worst display against Norwich. I don't think he's good enough for this level. First crossing opportunity he gets, straight out of play. Second one comes straight through to him from the right. Not a Sunderland player within 20 yards. All the time in the world to pick out a good cross and he smacks it straight over the bar. Next he takes a corner straight into the side netting. It's just poor poor play that you cannot legislate for. Blackett-Taylor should have squared it instead of shooting from that angle. It really doesn't matter who is playing upfront when you cross balls out of play. We also need to get Kenzo more advanced and on the all more because he's out best footballer, best passer and best crosser of the ball by a country mile.

Good window. Just that striker would have made it a really good window. In all fairness if we had signed a striker late on today he wouldn't have played tomorrow anyway. So if we do get one in on a free, then he would probably be available for the Cardiff game in 2 weeks anyway. We might not get one in but if we do then I'd take any one of:- Lucas João Aaron Connolly Andre Grey

Michael Smith is an upgrade on James Collins. Let's be honest. I don't think we'll sign him at all. But if we do, he is an upgrade.

Yeah agree mate. This is what I mean with having the right personnel. If we're playing a 352 we need a better striker to be playing up front with Yates.

This is a big 3 days now this is. For me we need 3-4 in. Winger, Striker, Defender as a minimum. Then bring back in Wilson, Cashin, Osborn, CBT. You could have 7-8 players on top of last night which would hopefully be an improvement on what we have.

I have no problems at all with playing a back 5 if we have the right personnel. At the moment when we play that, we have to play Mendez-Laing up front which does not work. He's admitted himself it's not his position. Playing 3 at the back with Wilson as RWB and Osborn or Elder as LWB is good. Midfield is fine for it too. It will mean we don't play with wingers which I am fine with. Because our best winger is Mendez-Laing and he's miles off it in this league. CBT is a waste of time and Barkhuizen is a terrible footballer.

To a man, that was absolutely pathetic. Even Warne cannot sugar coat this performance.

"There were a few clubs I could have gone to, but once I spoke to the gaffer he was a massive reason why I wanted to come" Nice little message to the absolute imbeciles who thinks Paul Warne can't attract players.

You don't lose it lads 😂😉

Yeah could work. When I said Wilson as a winger I just meant if it's a choice of him as an out and out right back or a winger then I'd have him as a winger. I'd definitely have him out wide over Barkhuizen. Not really sure what is end product would be like but I do think he'd be a decent option there. Can nutmeg a mermaid that lad. NML is direct but makes poor decisions.

I think with Elder, Forsyth and Osborn being able to play there it couldn't be less of a priority really. I mean ideally the centre back we bring in could play left back as well. But for me the front 3 needs the biggest work. I don't think NML is good enough and we're relying on him too much and when we take him off it's Barkhuizen coming on who's barely league one level. Nobody has seen CBT get a run of games so no idea if he's good enough or not really. I'd actually have Kane Wilson as a winger not a full back. We need players in the front 3 who make better decisions in the final third and make the right runs. The amount of time Nyambe got the ball against Watford and had to turn back because Mendez-Laing drifted inside and didn't make a run down the line. Our forward line needs the most work. We look solid, we just make shocking decisions in the final third.

Hi mate. I've took my son a few times and we've got there about 12:20 and got a good spot at the front. They normally arrive about 12:40 onwards up until about 1ish.

Maybe just a personal thing but I can't stand the bloke. Wherever he goes his attitude stinks.

I've just had a look through the free agents list and see if any jump out. Obviously some of these may be way out of budget wage wise but these are the ones I could see. Apologies if this has been mentioned. Dele Alli Steven Alzate Aaron Connolly Joshua King Ivan Cavaleiro Stuart Armstrong Yohann Barbet Kemar Roofe Dan Potts Paul Dummett Ovie Ejaria

Liam Cooper gone to Hull. Born and raised there so he would have always gone there
