What on earth does it say about this department that not one of our summer signings is in the side. If Hughton goes sure they will follow

Ali J absolutely needs to go. We have seen what Izzy can bring. Locadia might as well go too and if Propper really is being tracked by Ajax, let him go too.

Then show up midfield and wings with a mixture of youth and experience.

All easier said than done mind

They are under pressure whether Hughton goes or not I would think. Interesting comment from Steve Sidwell on BT Sport Score earlier when asked about the new signings "Good players but they have not stepped up" was his reply.

If Ajax really want Propper tell them we've got a buy one get a free Locadia offer

Surely we want to encourage them to purchase Pröpper?

I think we should let a new manager have a go with them before we judge them.

At the moment we have a manager who is not getting the best from our players. Look what's happened to Murray, Gross, Stephens, Propper and what we've seen of Izquierdo recently.

With a new manager, with decent tactics and a new confidence, we might see their qualities.

Izquierdo is clearly carrying an injury. He’s playing at about 80% of his ability, and he’s only playing because Ali J has been poor and Knockaert can’t control his emotions

Give these signings a decent coach who isn't ultra defensive then judge them. Extremely unfair to judge when almost all are attacking players playing in an ultra-defensive system.

Which begs the question why did we buy them. We play the defensive game.

The only thing that comes to mind is that these signings are not just for this season but for the future? Maybe the bigger gameplan is to go more offensive next season IF we stay up? I really don't know.

Neither the manager nor the 'new' players suit each other, that's patently obvious, and a big fail on the clubs part.

Half of the championship team/squad are marginal at best in the PL.

Not stepped up or not been allowed to step up?

Absolutely this. We haven't really seen if they are any good or not.
