    Not for certain no but would take one hell of a swing for all those teams to finish above us.

    First 15 a disgrace, from the goal till half time was ok, second half was very good. No shame in losing to Leicester, just didn't need to start like we did.

    Still a pen for me but Ballard made a meal of it and ended up making it look a dive!

    Absolutely. We’ll be sound but still need 3-4 points imo.

    5 defeats on the bounce is shocking however that performance was the best ive seen in a while

    Apart from a shocking 15 mins we were the better team. I hate us losing games but honestly felt more positives than negatives with that performance

    Adil was different class when he came on, needs a run of games for sure

    Thought Rigg was very good, similar to adil he needs a run of games

    Disappointing not to win or get a point but play like that in nxt few games and we will start to get some points on board

    Another defeat. We picked the wrong team and paid the price...

    Really good second half. Excellent in fact but we need to start trusting some players. Not sure Dodds has even that in him.

    Two positives for me are Adil and Rigg tonight. Doesn’t matter diddly squat if they’re benched again for Saturday. Both need to start.

    Thorough enjoyed that, except from the result and the first ten minutes. Good, gritty performance and lots to build on.

    Lots of positives to take. Keep playing like that, all this talk of relegation will be put to bed in a few weeks, imo. Too late for promotion this season, of course, but there's definitely good things to build on there for next season.

    yeh. Don’t think I’ll relax until we get another 6 mind :D

    other teams losing helps. Technically tonight we are closer to safety even tho we lost, because Stoke lost too.

    Second half much much better.

    Need to be starting games like that, not changing it and trying to play catch up.

    guess it depends how far back you do form. If it’s 5 games then yeh will be at least joint bottom. But if it’s 10 games there’s quite a few teams below us still.

    weirdly our goal difference helps as well

    Micky Gray on talkSPORT calling out the owner to bring in some experience. Mite be shouting at the sea with that one, or the Atlantic.Durham saying we deserved something from the game. 5 defeats in a row now and as I said at the weekend, we're looking over our shoulder.

    Normally last 6 games isn't it.

    I am still worried about the bottom 6. Until we reverse this and get a big 3. Gritty performances get you, exactly that. Gritty. Zero points.
