    Nope, people reacting to the fact of our form, stretched over a prolonged period, is relegation form.

    We are playing average this game, and yes still think we can get back into it, but we have every right to react any way to be in the bottom three - we aren’t there by accident.

    But, but - don't you understand?! We are in the as it stands relegation zone! And everyone knows that relegation is decided by adding up the total time spent in the relegation zone at the end of the season.

    We’re playing well today. I’m not sure what people are seeing otherwise?

    He was hit in the head with a ball travelling at serious speed. Ridiculous comment.

    Seen plenty of positives but we can't keep missing sitters. The press has been quite effective today though.

    Bold of you to assume people making such comments are watching.

    Could easily have been concussed from that. Play had to stop. Plus it would have ****ing hurt.

    Even if all you’re doing is watching the stats, you can see we’re matching them!

    I dont think we are playing well. We are playing better than usual, but think it is a stretch saying well.

    See thing is, when we have been as bad as we have for so long, people think mediocrity is good, when it is just better than ****.

    Playing well in general I think and was a bit of luck/**** defending for Almiron to just run in a straight line through 3 of our players

    Hopefully the good build up before the Ely miss gives the attackers a bit of confidence as that was the first time they’ve properly linked up. Adams and Walcott have both been pretty anonymous

    Hit him in the temple area too. Yeah it’s frustrating, but that would have hurt/been a potential concussion.

    As bold as you to suggest they aren’t? Bit of an odd comment, but then again, I didnt expect otherwise.

    We’re playing as well as the team that are currently third in the league. I see a lot of positives in our play today. When we move the ball quickly we’ve looked good, and we’ve been doing that (and accurately) a lot more than previously.

    Che and Walcott not doing anything. Get Mara and Adarma on just for some pace, energy and unpredictability.

    Yeah I think we're actually playing pretty well today but the lack of quality up top is painfully obvious. And my comment is regardless of any result today tbh, in fact I can't watch the second half so we'll probably come back to win.

    When we became a **** passing team.
    Lost count of the bad passes and I am getting especially pissed off by the passes to players making a run forward that are either too slow, making the player stop his run, or played straight at them instead of in front of them.
