• David @ 120, we have conceeded 25 goals in 21 league games, and 14 of those were in 4 games. So thats 11 goals let in the other 17 games. and thats playing most game with no recognised right back. Those stats are not saying to me that our defence is poor, quite the contrary. We need more class in the midfield and the forward positions, if we had we would be a lot higher than 12th. At the moment we have a good and valid excuse in that we are missing key players, which is bound to affect our performances and results. ...

• How can so many of us agree on so many things and yet Moyes still stays as stubborn as ever. I like Jake Obrien but he cannot play as a full back and what we have in reserve is not good either. The only option is Garner but then that can affect midfield where he has been playing very well. Having said that, now that Armstrong is back he looks to have achieved the maturity needed to slot in there and has a lot of skill but as we all agree MacNeil has become a back number although I liked him at first. Okay we lost KDH and Ndiaye which greatly affected our balance and add to this the inadequacy of the main strikers we have become quite toothless. Neither Barry nor Beto is up to snuff and never will be but surely Dibling and Rohl should be given more starts, maybe Saturday against Sunderland ? By the time KDH, Ndiaye and Branthwaite return it's for sure there will be little to play for and I would hope the top brass are already scanning the football World for a Moyes repl...

• If only ToffeeWeb had a a resident expert, maybe like ref watch to come on here and debunk the Tarkowski explanation! After all he doesn't know what he is talking about as the expert seen it in slow motion on the TV and knows better than anyone. ...
  Rob Dolby in “I’ve never seen anything like it” - James Tarkowski on Michael Keane’s dismissal
• Jimmy, I assume we had a target list of right backs during the summer but either could not attract the players or decided that other positions were a bigger priority for the funds. I am not sure why buying in January is a panic measure if TFG have previously identified the player and have the money to buy him. Even if that is not the case, if you have an urgent squad issued you take action. Man City may not have planned to buy Guehi, but the injuries to Stones, Dias and Gvardiol may force their hand. TFG and the manager may have believed that O’Brien, Coleman and Paterson would provide adequate cover this season, but someone would have to have been living in a cave for the last 5 months to still believe that....

• The problem is that we don’t have a squad. We lost 10 players in the summer and brought in 5. Of those 5 only Dewsbury-Hall is worth his place on performances. Barry is getting games because there are few options for that position but his performances are not PL standard. The other three signings are miles away from PL standard. Whoever recruited those four will have to do much better this summer....

• My patience is running out with the defenders. They're unable to function in anything other than defending the 18-yard box.O'Brien possibly stays, but not if he's defending like that. Right-back or centre-back, it was piss poor....
