Lots of them aren’t good enough for 4231.Ronan and Cundle aren't good enough.

Yes you will…..cus what you going to do about it??Hope Jeff is hiring Vinny as extra muscle for next Saturday, us legacy fans paying inflation busting season ticket price rises won’t put it with that dog****.
The performance was fine for 70 minutes other than individual errors. But we do look ragged at the back.Think the fact that our recruitment has been awful, and due to that our bench was awful today, has influenced people's view of the game. We looked much better than we did at the end of last season. We did fail to take our chances, our final ball was often not incisive enough, and we made some individual defensive mistakes, so I'm not saying it was perfect. However, the performance was very good in patches and some of our football was sublime at times. So yes, our recruitment is terrible but the performance wasn't as bad as most are making out.
Disagree. Every team knows with us...High press and stifle Neves and the midfield, we're stuffed. That's not changed since last season. Nothing to do with strikers in my view. Agree on the bench front though

If you can watch that game and think Jonny is a premier league player I don't quite know what to say
Except of course Semedo is one of our players not fit atm...
Bang on.Verdict is what most of us thought might happen today and it has. You dont have to be a brain surgeon to look at our current squad and see it is totally underequipped for the rigours of the Premier League.
Four players out injured today and we have nothing left on the bench in an attacking, wing back and central midfield sense. For the record Leeds had 8 players missing and still named a better bench than ours!
When you make such stupid decisions as to let your only back up striker go on loan without an imminent replacement, thus leaving you with one senior striker in the squad then what do you expect. Then he gets an injury over 2 weeks ago and amazingly still no striker.
Then we have our central midfield, an area of the team we have not improved in four years. As a result we currently have 3 senior central midfielders, one is now injured and is 36. The other central midfield players are either untried kids or Connor Ronan. None of them saw action today despite our players tiring, which maybe tells you all you need to know as to how Bruno views them as genuine first team options.
Then we have our wing backs. This area of the squad depth wise actually wasnt too bad last season but hey lets make that threadbare as well this summer shall we. Loan out Hoever, Giles and Bolla and Marcal released. Zero wing back signings, Semedo injured and not ready for several weeks, Jonny with 2 serious injuries in the space of 2 years and looking off the pace today and Bueno as the only back and he has no first team experience.
I dont care what anyone says but Bruno has been hung out to dry by those in charge. He must have looked at our options today and wondered where we go from here. Anymore injuries and it will be unproven kids in the team.
I dont think Mr Shi appreciates the frustration at present. I think he will hear it loud and clear next weekend if they dont have a striker and central midfield player signed to feature in this game. The lack of depth is inexcusable.
What’s a ‘John Richards type incident’?I can see a John Richards-type incident where fans turn on Shi and Sellars. I sincerely doubt either have any idea just how toxic Molineux will get, perhaps as soon as next week against Fulham.
It’s the worst I’ve ever seen him look. Id seriously be looking at Mosquera as RB against Fulham, he was THAT bad.Add to that Jonny looked really slow today.
Same here, never thought it would happen but after 64 years of support getting to the point that I don't really care, expected a defeat so not suprised, just wish Fosun, Jeff et al would **** off.I’ve had a moan but am strangely ambivalent towards things. I mean, I’m gutted we lost and was angry that we lost to such a poor side but I kind of expected this too. What else was going to happen when we have no forward and no attacking options and no feasible midfield options on the bench? I feared this would happen and it has.
Just hope the jokers who have incompetently carried on with their transfer dealings this summer actually pull their fingers out and realise it’s genuinely a matter of sign 3 or 4 players or prepare for a relegation battle.
Some on here are seeing what they want to see, he has to take a step to turn rather than just pivoting.It’s the worst I’ve ever seen him look. Id seriously be looking at Mosquera as RB against Fulham, he was THAT bad.
Hwang was very obviously injured that 2nd half with his hip I think? should have come off but of course there isn't a Forward on the bench to replace him with so we're stuck having to keep him out there.
Hwang is stealing a life at this level, he’s low end Championship at best. How we’ve let Silva out on loan is inexcusable, the club is just in a complete ****ing mess. Relegation battle is the only way we’re heading.
Ronan and Cundle aren't good enough.
Was very good today. You'd type this out before the game.Hwang is stealing a life at this level, he’s low end Championship at best. How we’ve let Silva out on loan is inexcusable, the club is just in a complete ****ing mess. Relegation battle is the only way we’re heading.
Some of these ridiculous overreactions to one defeat with plenty of positives reminding me why I don't come on here during matchdays, just embarrassing, pantwetting of the highest order.
Exactly. Jonny is the safest defender we have, one of the best in the league, but if this is the new Jonny then I’m afraid it’s a worry. I’m hoping he’s better on the left when Semedo comes back and RAN gets pushed forward to save us from having to sign a wide man.Some on here are seeing what they want to see, he has to take a step to turn rather than just pivoting.
It was like watching myself trying to move (although I've never suffered a serious injury let alone 2).
On the way back now, really shouldn't have lost that at all, despite looking vulnerable for periods in the first half. However, the benches made the difference, they could bring fresh legs on and we had nothing. That bench was an absolute disgrace today, poor Bruno was hamstrung literally had nothing to change it at all. Long hard season ahead unless we seriously get to work in the market in the next few weeks.
Sorry, I disagree.Was very good today. You'd type this out before the game.
The scapegoat stuff on here is ridiculous, some players get away with no criticism and some get stuff invented to trash them
He was like it last season other than against absolutely woeful teams. I just can't see a physical improvement, hopefully I am wrongExactly.

Moutinho was out when Cundle got his full debut at Spurs, with the lack of options at Lage's disposal today you'd have really thought there was some game time available for someone like Cundle, especially in the final twenty minutes when trailingHe clearly doesnt trust them as proven today.

No player scores today? I always enjoy reading those.
I think a decent striker ( like Raul in his prime ) would help because the ball would stick and he would link up play. Hwang did ok, but he, like Podence, spends too much time looking for fouls and play acting.
And yet they could still make four subs to win them the match.I agree our squad depth is inadequate, but then so is Leeds
