We will soon get the player back from the afcons, hopefully Dusbury Hall will be back, and we might even see Branthwight, results will improve, BUT, let us not forget what a depleted outfit we were, without them.
Defensively vulnerable, lacking control in midfield, devoide of creativity, and powder puf in attack.
It is not going to be cheap, but if we have any pretentious of returning to former glory, the TFG are going to have to dig deep, very deep, and hold up their hands up to their mistakes.
Not least their recruitment team, lot of deserved criticism of our two striker, but that pales into insignificance with Merlin and Dibling, over sixty million pounds for two of the worst players to ever pull on a blue shirt, cut our losses, learn from their mistakes, but my preference would be to cut our losses, and pay off the contract of the recruitment team, when your in a hole, stop digging.

Two of the worst players to pull on a blue shirt? Utter drivel.
They haven't even played 600 minutes between the two of them. One has had a difficult spell with injuries and has been rushed back without even being fit and the other is a kid who plays in a position behind arguably our best player who has had any confidence that he built up from last season decimated.
PL signings - John Spencer, Nyarko, Claus Thomsen, Danny Williamson, Stephen Hughes, Richard Wright, Kroldrup, Simon Davies, Anthony Gardner, Alcaraz, McGeady, Tosun, Gbamin, Martina, Ashley Williams, Klaasen El Ghazi, Maupay - the list goes on.

Forgot we signed El Ghazi BN. That was a desperate buy that tops that list for me. Did he ever even play?
Don’t forget Rondon and Sandro Ramirez. Or Drenthe.
Can we add Harrison to that list also?
Think it’s a bit harsh in Rohl. Thought he’d played alright in the cameos he’s had. Can’t blame Dibling for the price tag. If he was the same price as Aznou, no one would bat an eye but we’d still be asking for a RW.
{Ed025's Note - the price tag for Dibbling is certainly not his fault BR, his management team done a great job for him, the fault lies with our pathetic management team who sanctioned it along with the other poor choices they have made in the recent past mate..

Bernie Wright boom.

Defensively vulnerable but why! I would propose that just shows how good our defence is. We have the majority of our top players injured/away. Against Sunderland we also had additional two players unavailable, one unlucky and one stupid, one would certainly have made a difference and even the other (as a striker ?) would have.
Add to that players we were looking at to step up, decided to step down. Ruhl, Dibling, disappointing, McNeil! nothing more to say.

Maybe the price tag is paying heavily on a young man?
Dibbling isn't playing great we know, but he is 19yrs old, massive move to a much bigger club, new city.
Last season he played really well, and we've seen glimpses.
Hearing the crowd groan doesn't help either.
Think he needs to be cut some slack.

Rohl was bloody awful on Saturday both he and O'Brien had a hand in their goal. Rohl I thought was going to turn up, as I did Dibling, McNeil - I give up - I just do not see what Moyes and the coaching staff must see. Barry there is something there but runs like a three legged giraffe with piles. Beto had a spell last season surrounded by worse players than we have now, passionate but just not good enough.
Both B&B did it for me with their out and out disrespect taking penalties. Finally we don't fing need fullbacks - we need a different approach - Wingbacks! We need a proven RW (right or two footed) and a striker.

For some reason Dibling doesn’t look happy on the pitch! Not sure why, he’s a young kid that looks a bit shy to express himself, he looks a quarter of the player he was at Southampton, there he looked powerful, skilful, fast and good strength on the ball for a youngster, at Everton he’s gone backwards, not sure why, hopefully when he gains more confidence we will see a top top player emerge,
