Fuck it, get em in. Can't be any worse than the shite playing at the minute. Thought Ukaki looked half decent in preseason and at least liked to shoot. While we are at it, get One on the bench instead of Canon. We all know he cost £10 million, but that shouldn't means he gets a place in the squad in place of someone who will at least put a bit of effort in.

It really can and it absolutely will if we start including Football Manager regens into a side that couldn’t pull the right result in a tug of war.

If we aren't scoring any goals, how can it get worse? Do we get minus goals for playing football manager regens?

Putting Oné ahead of Cannon would be majorly to Wilder's credit

Yes I know we invested in Cannon. Don't care

Which of the 2 is more likely to fetch 10m+ in the future?

And which can at least put himself about and win the odd header?

It may be more important to ask why Cannon isn't performing when with his previous clubs he has been outstanding.

CW must have looked at him and thought this guy will be great in the team and slot right in.

So what has gone wrong. Is it CW at fault rather than Cannon?

I didn't see a lot of Cannon before he joined us, but the game i did see him for Stoke at Bramall Lane, he was completely anonymous. I know he scored 4 at Pompey (I think) don't remember anyone giving him any "outstanding" reviews. I stand to be corrected, maybe its just my hazy memory

He was crap in the Stoke game and was subbed at half time. Warning bells??

You know how there's a number of divisions below us? It's because it actually can be worse by any metric you want to measure.

Silly post.

"Don't throw the baby out with the bath water" springs to mind.

This squad, whilst chronically underachieving 9 games in, has got a mix of quality, experience and potential - to discard this and blindly chuck the likes of Ukaki and the other 2 in (you haven't seen the other 2 play, have you? I know I haven't) is just plain crazy and nonsensical, and would result in us getting thumped even harder every week.

As for One, take the Bristol City goal away and I've not seen a great deal from the kid to be honest, certainly not enough to suggest he should be ahead of Cannon in the pecking order.
Does he have potential? Yes.
Should he be in and around the squad? Yes, very probably.
The comparison with Cannon is born out of frustration I imagine, as he himself is still only a young kid at 22.
He hasn't pulled any trees up yet for us (and that's putting it incredibly politely), but he has scored 20 goals at Championship level in his career so far, he didn't score them by accident.
There's a player in there, it's up to the coaches and the boy himself to improve his levels.

The International Break couldn't have come at a better time, 2 weeks for Wilder to work with the squad - several big hitters from last season need to stand up and take ownership, and if they do, we'll smash Watford...... without Ukaki and co in the team.

Yes, and if we don't start scoring goals, we'll be visiting them very soon. Didn't Einstein say the sign of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

It has nothing to do with frustration regarding Canon, I've not seen him have a good game yet (and I include the one for Stoke at Bramall Lane last season). People keep thinking he's going to come good because he cost £10 million. The fact is the kid isn't very good (not his fault we paid that fee for him, but his lack of effort is his fault). One might be very raw, but at least he's a nuisance on the pitch and offers a couple of things that Canon doesn't (in terms of pace and work rate).
Out of interest, what have you seen in the past 2 seasons that makes you think we'll smash Watford after 2 weeks training? That is a really bizarre comment, as we haven't smashed anyone since Wilder came back the second time.

Hristo Stoichkov is pushing 60, and I reckon he'd improve us at the minute!

Out standing on't wing doing fuck all perhaps.
