I am not great at this new WHO format, so double-quoting is in my "Skill" set
Rossal. I think we did well to get the two forwards we got due to Sullivan's tightness, and also our position in the table
Massive Attack, I agree he should have gone with Pablo off and put Wilson on, but Nuno did acknowledge his mistake

He's not going to be able help with the press/high energy though, sadly. Sticking someone high energy next to him to 'do the Pablo job' wouldn't go amiss though,

Nunu did say in his latest press conference that Tatty and Pablo cannot keep up the high press tempo for 90 minutes, and he said bringing on Kilman was a mistake becuse it invited pressure. Traora would be a nuisance leading the line
If only he had a readily available experienced goalscoring Premer League Striker he could use for at least half an hour/45 minutes..

If only he had around a month to get more forwards in who could press from the front so we don't have to change from successful tactics every game in the second half
There's no way he wouldn't have asked for more players in January. He'd have wanted somewhat more than those two, Traore and Disasi right at the deadline. Sullivan would have been well aware players were needed as soon as the window opened. He was the one dicking around and signing Venezuelan reserves instead of the multiple players we needed.

Shows the importance of strength in depth. When Chelsea were two down, they could replace the entire left side with £150m worth of talent. When our first choices get knackered, the options are kids, has beens and failures.
Agreed. This stat really does highlight how shit and paper thin our squad is. So many points dropped because there's almost nothing on the bench to replace tired players.

The amount of Traore (Hulk) memes knocking about, is fucking hilarious.

those stats tell me the players aren't fit, and the substitutions are reactive rather than proactive

Yep there are options, can also put Traore wide and Bowen down the middle.

Points to weak disjointed squads that were cobbled together ( with no plan or professional infrastructure ) and managers / coaches not able to get more out of a weak squad. The whole greater than the “sum of the parts” thing. Managers seem to have done the opposite.

We are third from bottom on merit, rather than being too good to go down we are more too bad to stay up.

Can do wonderful things with stats.
True. Always interesting to quantify what we could already see happening, though.
