I think that says something.
We just don't have a real way of attacking. We rely on set pieces and something magic on a breakneck break.


We're in the bottom 4 for shots per game. Bottom two for key passes.

No way! Seriously Houndy apart from Brizzle when can you say he's played well?

Yep. Very little creativity from midfield.

He was out best midfielder for a run of 4/5 games a couple of months ago. Although that wasn't saying a lot. Early season he was the weakest of the 3 but still perfectly adequate.

I think we're being crippled by our formation.

That is why Carroll should have been on sooner. We have put loads of balls in the box unusually.

We haven't been outplayed, we've let in two stupid goals through mistakes, and one that should've been ruled out for offside.

It could be five because we've had another couple of brainfarts in the second half.

Seemed like we did our best to miss, but hard to say we don't deserve a goal. Not holding much hope, but any goal before the 90th minute and there could be something to take from this.

Hendrick made that, got the touch that forced it out to Joao.

Great take from Ince, although not thr best cross. Not a well crafted goal, a messy one. It counts but that's what we're restricted to.

Ref has been very random this game. Very inconsistent

The moment I saw the defense lineup I knew that we were in trouble this evening. You need a bit of experience and steel at the back in a game like this and we were obviously going to struggle.

Just need to write it off and stay positive. Our half season points total is more than good enough - hopefully get a win against Swansea and we'll just need 20 points for the rest of the season.

I kinda felt sorry for you with everyone having a dig at you.
I take it all back.
Your a bloody idiot!

Yeah. Sarr's 29, Yiadom 31, Rahman 28. All played plenty of games. Hell, McIntyre has almost 80 appearances.

And for steel, Sarr, Yiadom and McIntyre have plenty.
