    Worst attack in the league are we now? With half of Charlie's goals being penalties? And yet people are not overally worried? I'm ****ting myself right now!

    If we are 9th in the league playing like this, then the only thing we can do is be glad we are not in the bottom three. There are a lot of teams and fans who would take 9th, without scoring goals. 11 teams below us. We stagger on.Yippee!

    So what about their height? It's time for something radical.

    And we're six points off being ahead of Manchester United and in a European slot. The point is IT'S NOT THAT BAD.

    In fact, given we have nobody up top in any sort of form, I'd say it's pretty bloody good (along with being in our first cup semi final in god knows how long).

    Well, we scored a grand total of 3 goals against them which says it all.

    Dwight Gayle is the league's topscorer I believe. If I was told that we'd be signing Gayle, I would be massively, massively underwhelmed.

    Like you say, it's a different league. Leave him where he is (unless things get seriously desperate come 31 Jan).

    Didn't sound as if the Referee made any friends? Not much good for either side?

    Well said. Give a man the best bricks money can buy but no concrete and he still won't be able to build you a house!


    This is why my frustrations lie with the board. They have done fantastically for us up til now and the fact we have made plenty of profit for the owners pockets doesn't bother me as we have improved on the pitch. Now we need to spend to improve results let's see if we do or not.

    The Liebherr Pavillion and training grounds? She's invested in our future. That's where the money has gone isn't it?

    The people here are making me moan rather than the team.

    It's a fair point though. Hence, bed.

    Night all.

    Talk of relegation is ludicrous quite frankly. We don't concede anywhere near enough goals (Palace aside) and 2/3rds of our team atm are top half standard, easily. It's the lack of goals that makes the whole team seem worse, but when the goals come we'll be winning plenty of games. Over to the board now, please get it right in January.

    I think you can only blame the strikers so fat. None of our midfielders are bombing forward, they just play the easy ball sideways. That's down to how there being told to play.
