WTF is Zenga doing with that TERRIBLE midfield selection? Have we not signed any midfielders during the transfer window so far? Out of 5 new signings, only ONE starts, with 3 on the bench and one who doesn't even make the squad! Is he trying to prove for once and for all that we need to get the cheque book out and get some quality signings in? Mr Guo and the Benfica President must be really impressed with this bloody awful showing so far.

Well said Doncaster Wolf! I couldn't agree more! (Oh, hang on - that's me! )

Wow, quick on the negativity and already looking wrong. Some of our new players aren't match fit yet so one has come on 2nd half and made all the difference.
First half was still Kenny's team, you are too impatient and not giving this a chance. Kenny's former team isn't Zenga or Fosuns fault.

I stand by my comments; that was a terrible midfield and we had the options to make it a whole lot better from the kick off. While I am very relieved and happy that we got the draw, none of us can answer what might have happened if we'd had a strong midfield from the opening minute, which was NOT the case.

They need to learn, they clearly are doing.
People need to lose this frustration and expectation from the years of built up frustration over us getting nowhere under Moxey. This is a new start, it's going to take a while for it to find it's feet, it deserves our patience.
And we were a team today, in the 2nd half we were exciting and impressive, Zenga's passion and influence beginning to come through, it will take some time. Personally I'm impressed and proud of the team today, I'm confident it will get better as it all gets more settled and gelled.

And according to the radio commentary, Fosun (and Mendes) were impressed, they were engrossed in the 2nd half and enthusiastically applauding the team and Zenga at the end.
And looking at today, Zenga uses subs really well and the team are quickly becoming one with him - passionate and battling. We are so much better off than we were, imo this is heading in exactly the right direction for what we should want to be.

He must have been impressed with Saville and Evans in training but where was Silvio?

Totally agree with you Ulf! UTW ðŸ‘.

Was it the midfield at fault for a set piece corner or a 25 yard screamer? No didn't think so. We do need signing but the right ones to compliment this squad. Excellent point away from home.

To be honest I think Zenga was probably giving them a chance. He'll want to have the dressing room on his side so didn't want to drop everyone straight away. However, I'd think teixeira has now forced his way into the next team.
