I don’t think Engel will ever be good enough, I don’t get where everyone gets the optimism from that he will suddenly be brilliant next season.

Personally I think he swings wildly from brilliant to terrible, sometimes in the space of 5mins. If he can find consistency he can be good. But it's a big if

Can understand it to an extent, stricken with injuries and a makeshift side...away from home to a top 4 team.

Guessing / hoping Carrick is just going for containment this half and will hopefully have us attacking more second half.

Agree it is grim viewing though.

Dijksteel should be in the back line not Howson who should be in the middle instead of Barlaser. But Carrick dislikes Dijksteel so much despite him being vastly supieror to Ayling 

Great effort from Jones there.

That's the problem  when he's good he's brilliant and when he'd bad he's beyond shocking. 

We need consistency from him otherwise we need to rethink in the Summer.

Half agree with you. Dijksteel is undoubtedly quicker and better at getting forward to support attacks. But I'd say Ayling has better technique and reading of games.

But yes would definitely have Dijk in defence - would probably have blocked Armstrong before he could take the shot...assuming he hadn't wandered off somewhere out of position.

I don't think we've been that bad last 10 or so. We've not given them much of a sniff and we've had a few dangerous attacks.

 

Bangura is honestly so much better than Engel, everyone will realise it soon 

I know Thomas has been poor but I'm taking engel off here. Couldn't be worse than the half he's had.

Definitely improved a bit and looking more confident.

Engel has been horrible so far today. Passing and decision making both woeful. 

Engel is awful. So bad at passing

Is the sun in Engels eyes

Not when he's injured though.

Who would you put at LB?

It could be, to be fair.

It's very bright on that side of the stadium.
