Orlandi

If people think lua lua was our greatest threat tonight then heaven help us we're in a worse state than I thought

Exactly my thoughts, one trick pony I am afraid

Words out of my mouth

About the only major positive from tonight, seemed right back in the form prior to his injury which is good news

Fully agree. A class act, but either ran out of gas or picked up a minor injury.

He was, though, because the strikers offered nothing. Not saying he was very effective, but he was the one most likely to create an opening.

CMS was certainly not a threat... Lua Lua was in the first half, and up until that awful two minutes when we went from 1-1 to 3-1.... after that Lua Lua was as ineffective as anyone. Bridcutt was brilliant... but Crofts anonymous. I still cannot see what everyone sees in Orlandi or Lopez.... Bruno was as poor as Ive ever seen him, El Abd looked like the old 2006 version again when Deeney sped passed him, and .... well... basically we were just rather shit tonight.

Thought Orlandi was class for the first half hour but, as others have pointed out, he faded after that.

That's what I mean though if he's our only threat because the others were even more inept what bloody chance have we got

thats another worrying sign our full backs
That's what made us all sit up a few months ago and think we were going places this year
Now Bruno looks lacking in pace and every other pass goes astray Wayne Bridge looks to be losing interest as well those rampaging runs up the wing are now non existent
Both full backs seem to have lost that spark that made us look promotion contenders

Orlandi was clearly not fully fit tonight and faded badly after a very good opening 30 mins. By the time he came off all our midfield except Bridcutt were having very poor games.
