He smells of Orta tbh. Reject from a big club and Spanish!
I'm not convinced by Roca at all. No surprise at all that he was dropped today after his performance against City.
I'd rather he played Gyabi who looks much more comfortable on the ball.

Happily I agreed with you as well ‘64, but I did expect goals as it has been so long since we managed a clean sheet.
I didn't expect a clean sheet Boo, thought that would be asking far too much

Yeah he started well but has been awful for months. Another reason why we need another CM!

16 pts from 16 games. Keep that up and 38 should keep us up.
Best GD of the bottom 6 and a game in hand.
Spot on SG90.
The reality of the lack of investment in the squad now means that we just have to gear everything to survival. If we can extract a nice tune from the team on occasion in the process then that would be really nice. Unfortunately, it’s more likely to be a grind as we simply don’t have players good enough to do much more.
Our young players will continue to grow and we will have to wait/hope for investment to bring in the established, experienced quality players necessary to allow us to really dominate games again. In the meantime it will be all about maintaining a 1 point average per game.
Well, we've gone into survival mode pretty early in the season don'tcha fink.
Bert would be turning in his grave if he wasn't here.

We've played 2 of the top 3 and yet gained a point on the relegation zone. Important though we don't let the cockneys knick all 3 points.
Is it still a wonderful result today if West Ham beat us?

I would suggest all the signings we have made in the Summer can be attributed to Marsch.
Robles
Sini
Adams
Roca
Gyabi
Gnoto
Aaronson

Yes, clean sheet away and a point from a high flying team in 3rd place. This was a great result regardless of what happens next game.
The one that irked me is the ref and Bamford errors that cost us 3 points against Arsenal.
