    Totally agree. In general, too many subs too soon for me

    That was ****ing rubbish. I would be straight on the Russ out bus, but what's the point? SR would only recruit another ****ing curve ball manager with no PL experience.

    BBD is ****e. No pace, can't tackle, can't pass
    Stewart is ****e. Tall but can't head a ball
    Archer can't hit a cows arse with a banjo

    We will not win a single PL game under Russ. He's got the tactical nous of a bin bag. Just relegate us now and save me a fortune on petrol.

    oh and Ipswich fans are obnoxious pricks too.

    Obviously I'm gutted by the late equaliser, and I do think we were the better side in the second half - but over the course of the whole game, I do think a draw was fair.

    I hate to say it, but I do suspect that we saw two of the three teams who'll be getting relegated this season.

    Ramsdale, Lallana, and Fernandes I thought were our best players. All three were excellent. But I'm yet to be convinced by Archer as a lone striker, and I just can't understand why Fraser is getting so much gametime. The subs, by and large, all contributed little yet again.

    I did think Cornet would have been a more interesting sub for Fraser.

    I hope one of them does, as long as it's not Ipswich or Leicester ;)

    Brilliant mate.

    Genuinely at the stage now where I'm considering getting rid of the ST. Wonky Saint didn't cope too well with it all today and it all just feels a bit much. I'm spending ****ing £££ getting to and from games and I'm not sure its worth the pay off any more.

    I'm not just being knee jerk- I genuinely cannot see us winning in the league this season. It's depressing

    This on TV or other part of the ground?

    Was patchy but definitely not a library. My throat is sore as ****.

    Second half much better than the first. Night and day from Forest.

    I read that as “I just cannot see us winning the league this year” and thought, “yeah, that’s probably a fair shout”.

    I have a feeling Russ seems to see Cornet as a RW.

    I agree though, would absolutely have him on the left in the next match.

    The best news to come out of today (other than the continued rise of Dibling) is that Lallana is going to prove a very shrewd signing. He's still got it.

    Calmed down now. I still maintain Archer should have taken at least one of his chances but he did look bright.

    He should have but I quite like what I've seen from him. He'll definitely be an asset in the championship.

    I might be talking bollocks but I get the feeling that once he gets one he'll go on a run.

    I don't think we missed Stephens today. THB, whilst not outstanding, seemed to get through error-free and I'd say he easily had his best game of the season. It almost felt like we were watching last season's THB, where he able to ping balls over the top.

    The Gulf is absolutely massive I think we all knew that at the start of the season but I genuinely believe that we will both be alright at the end of the season. To be honest I’m not bothered if we get relegated we are well ahead of our 7 year plan so this season is a bonus. I appreciate that you guys expect more from your team as you have been PL incumbents over many years. If we both became yo yo clubs over the next few seasons I would that be such a bad thing?

    I am sure I heard the commentator say that Diaz hasn’t been part of team that has won a premier league match yet……19 appearances, 0 wins.

    I also have a feeling that when Archer gets one, he will then go on a run.

    I hope that Russ doesn't see him as that. Because firstly it would mean him playing on his unfavoured side, and secondly it would mean he starting most matches on the bench (because right now, no-one is taking the RW role away from Dibling except for when he needs a rest).

    I've been vocal about how annoyed I am at the club for going with Cornet ahead of JWP as our second loanee. So the very least we can do is actually involve Cornet. It'll just be even harder for me to accept if Cornet transpires to be a bit-part player for us. Still a very long way to go in the season though.
