Anyone would think we lost...

charles and spence, don't let the door hit you on the arse on the way out.

I agree with Spence being shown the door, Charles i'd keep.Hate saying this but Farrell needs to go as does Sills both not doing enough for the team.

Out of the signings JE made in the summer, Spence is bay for the worst one and hopefully will be leaving. The only other starter from yesterday who should also go, is Farell for me. Think his time is up with the club and must be one of the highest earners. Think Charles should be given till the end of the season as with Johnson, unless JE had adequate replacments in mind!

I'm surprised to see Johnson and Charles having their names banded about on here. Yesterday aside, Johnson has done well since stepping up two divisions and making the move the full time football. Charles has shown good promise and works hard. He didn't see much of the ball yesterday, but he was working.

Charles and Johnson are both young players that have stepped up from leagues below or coming back from injury. Charles effort in some games has been immense in some games and deserves the chance to prove himself

as for spence he has done nothing

i would agree with Scot on Spence and Farrell to go

charles came on as sub and should have been sharper than most on the field. i don't see his work rate as being high enough.

Sometimes it's not about the result, it's about crossing the white line with the white shirt on and giving your all. Our professional side SHOULD be faster, fitter and have more quality and ideas than it showed on Saturday. Our complete midfield is playing off the back foot, JE has to either coach them differently or change it (or them, and listening to his interview that looks increasingly likely). I'll bet that Porter and Charles will start on Tuesday.

Assuming Porter is fit.

Porter wont be fit.
