Sorry, how did any of us 'know' that?
I'd wager 90% of our fanbase hadn't even heard of him before we signed him let alone known enough about his game to say he'd be a bad signing.
We have no outlet at all. Our counter attacking was so slow today it was laughable.
But so many were banging on how great Murray would be, he is too slow for this league and will mainly score headers from corners and score Pens.
Just home from the game.......
Our counter attacking stopped at the half way line, whereupon we stopped, turned and passed it back again because there was no one moving or no options in front. Murray and Hemed are too slow and at the moment isolated because Gross is too deep defending much of the time (partly because Stephens and Propper both keep giving the ball away), we desperately need a Baldock-type to get in behind, stretch the defence and create space. Knocky needs to start ahead of Murphy too as he is much more prepared to try to beat his man.
We need Jose and a nippy striker in asap to give us some pace and goal threat, Gross and particularly Propper quickly need to get up to speed and Stephens needs to realise he's now playing in the league he always thought he was good enough for and start playing like it. With all that, we've got a chance. The back 4 look solid enough compared to the rest of the division and we know Solly and Knocky are capable. Jury is out for me on Ryan.
We looked bereft of ideas going forward, either individually or as a unit. Lots to work on.

A good summary. We look very ordinary and so toothless going forward. Any more displays like that today and people will be tipping us to beat Derby's woeful season on the PL in 2007.
I am surprised Gross is getting stick as before today he has looked the best of the buys.

Plenty already are!
If Ahannach has pace then he needs to take Murphy's place in the squad, as Murphy has been given a chance and doesn't seem to have taken it.
Whether I went or not is irrelevant. The moaning on here is getting to industrial proportions, which is what I was commenting on.I take it you didn't go yesterday?
The manager, interviewed players, media pundits, newspaper reporters and opposition fans said we were poor yesterday and must improve. Albion rose tinted specs off for a moment but these first two games have shown just how daunting it is for us this season at this level.
The support for CH and the team is unwavering and we move on to Watford away. See you there!

See threads like "15m spunked up the wall". We've played two matches!
