We've wasted money on Wells and Walters and we could have signed a decent-back up striker for that. Instead we've got Barnes(I love the bloke) but he isn't much of a goal threat and Vokes who just isn't cut out for the league.

And I think it is just the Clarets and Huddersfield without a win in the last 5

Crap performance
You have to work harder than that, and play cleverer than that if you want to win games.

What makes it worse is Swansea are **** as well.

It ain't the end of the world, but the team we put out was good enough to create chances, sadly we didn't.
Not the problem. Our forwards arent good enough to score regularly. Thats the problem. And we are missing 3 players who are crucial to our game - wood defour and Brady

Granted there are some half chances today but second half Vokes had chance to slide it theough to Barnes but chose ro shoot. Wells must be proper **** if he cant get a t least 30 mins in a 442

To be fair Walters got injured, however get the point re Wells in that he cost around £5mill is now fit and it seems he is nowhere near starting.

This.

I though Walters was a decent signing but the injury has put that out. Wells was just a stupid signing seeing as he cant break into a side that has scored 5 in 10

To be fair, we are missing a lot of first choice players ... if everyone was fully fit then Heaton, Tarkowski, Ward, Defour, Brady and Wood probably all start.

Because Lennon was doing nothing today. Worth a try as he does pop up with important goals.
