the 2 centre halves signed for a combined £20 million are not better than we’ve already got based on that 45. Ditto Longstaff at £12m. debatable use of resources thus far for me.

Too early for buyer’s remorse on some of this squad?

I know it’s just a cup game but good grief this is poor.

Bornauw has barely played pre-season, and Wednesday have offered nothing going forward. What exactly are they meant to be doing?

Just can’t seen where goals come from this season. No creativity at all in the side.

Why couldn’t we defend against Arsenal by this Sheff Weds under 18 reserve side have against us?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Because Arsenal are in a different planet to both teams paying tonight.

It’s been poor but players need to settle into the team. Aaronson has been his usual self but Harrison has at least tried to push forward.

Think we were 3 down to them going off here.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Ive been fairly confident, all summer, but you got to call it as you see it.

We are playing a scratch side, who didnt have any proper friendlies, half youth side ( sheff wed not renowned for good youngsters either) club in turmoil, fans boycotting, players getting constantly paid well late.


And we have created fook all, can sugar coat it all we want, its pispoor.

Worst 45 minutes of football I've watched for a while, At least at the weekend we were trounced by a world class side. We look like struggling League 1 side.

I bet Hamer is thinking, ‘I’m better off staying put.’

Pablo could still start in this team.
And create more chances.

100 million quid spent so far.

Was always going to be a grind because these players haven't played much together at all. For them it is a training exercise. Learn the system, try and build from deep, and hopefully we get a couple of goals.

Don't see the rationale in judging players off a game like this at all. Yes, I'd like them to be playing better, but the reaction here is like this is the game pushing us to relegation. Letting Bornauw and Bijol build a partnership. Getting Okafor and Nmecha some starting minutes. That's what games like this are about.

might as well get harry on as hes a young pup like the wendies players and have a bit of fight in him. piroe has been so bad if farke starts him again we are going down.

We lost our first game in 12 v Arsenal and thisi is basically a training session for the new guys - why is everyone losing their minds?

Everton
Arsenal
Sheff Wed


Newcastle next. After five games if the club
Aren’t judging this we may well be toast.

its the manner of our performance or lack off it

We're supposed to be a PL team, and can't create anything against this Sheff W team... that's not losing ones mind, to point out.

But that’s my point…this isn’t a PL team - it’s a load of new guys who haven’t played together

Common sense.

Ok, so let’s cut them some slack and see if we can win this in the 2nd half.

People do realize every other team in the English pyramid have also introduced new players, new systems. It’s not like our squad’s been locked up and banned from working together until tonight.

some looking like they havent played football before

DCL to score 4.

No one staking a claim to start Saturday so far

Gruev and Aaronson our dead ball specialists its only a matter of time

… alternatively … Barry Bannan to get the winner
