    It says a lot about a character of a team when you pick up points against Spurs, Chelsea and Man United but fail to get anything against Leeds and West Ham. Clearly the players only get themselves up for certain games.

    I'm aware this isn't over but it says a lot about a team when that's the case.

    Armstrong has been every bit as bad as Mara.

    Honestly think it is just the tactics. We are not physical enough and have absolutely no idea how to break down teams that dont attack us.

    He has been fine today. We obviously need more of an attacking threat now tho

    What's needed here is a Focus Group, counselling and a group hug

    Actually wondering if Orsic might be worth a shot up front, he might appear to lack PL pace for the wing when we have seen him so far, but his record suggests he knows how to find the net when the chance presents itself.

    I don’t think it’s as simple (or cynical) as that.
    Against those ‘better’ teams we can focus on organised defence with counter attack. We’re not bad at doing that.
    Against the others they’ve learned we are not good at controlling or creating in possession. They sit back and let us try, wait for us to not do it we’ll then pounce and take advantage.


    It’s not through lack of application , it’s mix of lack of ability, lack of experience and lack of creativity

    If we go down but manage to retain Sulemana and Alcaraz I could see them tearing the Championship to shreds.
