  • After today's defeat.

    Harry said that we must take 20 points from our last 12 games. Well, I always beleived that we should take those 20 points from our last 11 games! Watching our game against United, there were some pluses. However, it is imperative that we should produce our best against the teams we are most unlikely to beat. The best of any team against Utd is not always enough. However, after todays game, I saw some positives. Bosignwa was solid and so was Samba. Traore and Mbia worked hard, but takes too many risks, especially in our own half. Zamora, Townsend and Granero were good, while Hoilett and Remy should start if fit. Remy showed glimses of his qualities with the best chance we created and if he is provided with good balls, he'll do a lot of damage to the opposition.
    My biggest concern was Adel. He plays on his own. He shoots (most of the shots are dreadful) when there's better options, and when he passes its on most occasions misplaced. He should be rested, together with Jamie Mackie and enter for the last 20/30 minutes. Although most of our players are well payed, I am sorry to say that most of them lacks the basics. Running without the ball, running into open spaces, making one two, crossing abilities....no wonder we are in the position we are in. But there's always hope. Given that they give their best against teams we are likely to beat...you'll never know.

    This. You have hit the nail on the head with your opening line, when were we ever convinced we had a chance against UTD, just because we beat Chelscum all of a sudden we are good enough to beat utd or even draw with them. Obviously I was hopeful but I can't be disappointed when we lose, this is a team who is known to win without playing well unlike the other teams in the league. So we need to support the team when we come up against the weaker sides and hope that they give it their all

          if we were playing as a team to our full potential then we might have half a chance , but we are disorganised rabble that are not capeable of stringing 3 passes together

                  It's so hard watching that lack lustre performance each week,there is no way we are going to score as we have nothing in the box and unfortunately with what we have less the loan players and a few other leavers we will nothing but struggle in the championship next season ,so for all those people that think we will come straight back up your in for another reality check next season. I don't like saying it but its a fact.
