    This is worse than the Branfoot era, at least we had Matty then!

    What concerns me the most is that a lot of the goals we concede are from individual errors, like the first two today. Liverpool did press us but they didn't threaten too much in the first half.

    Leicester didn't manage any today either.

    I watched second half of England vs Australia, much more enjoyable. I get the feeling our performances aren't going to change until January when we bring some players in.

    Defence gets too stressed with having to let no goals in due to us being unable to score. So ends up making mistakes.

    I am on late shift that night......so at least I won't find out the score until after FT.

    I feel dirty now wanting Utd to beat Newcastle to keep them within reach.

    And teams can throw men forward worry-free, because we offer absolutely no threat on the counter. Everyone but the tea lady made attacking runs into our box for Liverpool today.

    I'm looking the other way and hoping for a Watford win tomorrow and a draw between Brighton and Stoke.

    If be very surprised if we sacked him, I just can't see the club sacking a manager so soon.

    If I were in charge, however ...

    More upset with our recruitment than MP's flaws. He won't be sacked till mid December, but I imagine by then, we would have already spoke to someone who is unemployed.

    I'd be shocked if he lasted until January without a serious turnaround in our fortunes. It would be somewhat of a surprise if we're on more than a point a game on New Year's Day, and I can't see the board sticking by him if we're in/on the cusp of the drop zone through half a season.

    If anyone new comes in, they'll still have to work with our players. Not much will change.

    We are better than what we are getting. Even with Long & Tadic in the squad.

    Awful performance (again), and just to make it worse, my brother-in-law went to the game and started crowing via text message before half time. He's so plastic, I object to him swimming in the sea so it really grates when he's watched us play like we did, and I can't even argue when he tells me that we're ****.

    Tactics and game management are as important though. Something sorely lacking from Pellegrino. He isn't getting anywhere near enough out of the players and we all know that.
