    Absolutely not, I don't recall many games we've lost where we didn't deserve.

    If it's your opinion you can't tell us to get used to it. Go be a negative arse somewhere else.

    The play was good today and more like that should see us safe. The issue is those awful mistakes. I say Hughton has to get some fear into them. Throw some pllates if he has to! Just get them to stop losing concentration in matches, that's what's costing us.

    Cardiff fan in peace.

    Unlucky lads, I can't believe we got away with that first half defending to be honest. Still, perhaps not roundly deserved but those are 3 extremely ****ing vital points for us!

    For what it's worth, I think you're too good to go down.

    you should never sit on your laurels at 0-1 up, the lesson wont be learned... we really should have been pressing harder for that second before the 5 minutes of madness, not leaving it till 2-1 down :( even sunderland are above us now!

    The shooting ourselves in the foot part more than the playing well then. I'd say most of the goals we've conceded have been due to woeful mistakes.

    It's a shame more of our fans don't think that.

    Yet another hard luck story and it was all our own making, we should have had that game sown up before half-time. That result has sealed our fate IMO, Citeh up next and another battering. It's all too little too late, I said all along Hughton would take us down and I will be proven right. I'm not disappointed about today, I'm just so ****ing angry and pissed off with it all. I can't wait for this season to end it's been like having teeth pulled with no anesthetic !

    :(

    No doubt someone will be happy to state we are 15th place, so all is well in the garden

    Go down, stay up - who knows but I suspect we are not going to get ourselves clear of 18th with any degree of comfort at any stage of this season now.

    Yep. That's it. End the season now. No point going through the rest of the games. Lets just drop ourselves down a division.

    Stopping being so melodramatic.

    We did play well, for the first 20 minutes and the final 15 or so, after Hughton finally got off his arse and made some substitutions. But we were unexplainably terrible for five minutes and pretty poor for the other 50. Either way, we were better than on Tuesday but we were playing the team bottom of the Premier League; what do you expect?

    Looking at the facts, we still can't score (although we should have scored more than one today) and our defending has clearly deteriorated from the point where Hughton took over.

    I think it can be agreed that we need to be AT LEAST six points clear of the bottom three going into our last four games. Can anyone see that happening? I think we're in extremely serious trouble.

    By the way, the jury's been out for me on van Wolfswinkel for a very long time but I'm starting to believe him to be a very expensive flop. He was excellent at Sporting but that clearly counts for nothing right now. 19 goals in 24 games. 1 for van Wolfswinkel, 0 for Elmander. Hughton clearly has no idea how to attack effectively.

    The way we played in the last 20 was great to see, but they all look like theyve forgotten how to convert chances now, and for what? our defense is still a mess when it matters, and we break so ponderously that there's no real danger for opposition.

    If we had started the team that ended that game I think we'd have won. When Zaha came in he made the game about pace but it took us 40 minutes to reply with our fast winger and faster central
    Mid, poor tactics lost us the game today.

    Everyone around us picking up points, we play well, we don't get points, play terrible and scrape a draw.... worrying without hooper on form we have no cutting edge.

    agreed. when the entire team is failing at a task, that surely has to fall on the manager?

    So disappointing! All the same it was a cracking game and if we can play like that for the rest of the season (but not the defensive lapses), we should be all right. 26 shots, 6 on target away from home. It's going to be a right old battle though.

    Don't be an arse you know as well as everyone else who has a modicum of intelligence that the writing has been on the wall for some time. We needed change, we needed fresh impetus and as I say it's now all too little too late. BTW it's not being melodramatic, it's called being passionate about your team. Regardless of how well we played in the last fifteen minutes, (subs too late again Hootun), we lost against a piss poor Cardiff side who will in all probability be relegated with us.

    Time you earned your fecking massive salary McNally, now sort it out ! <grr>

    Oh come on - "entire team is failing at a task"? Yes there were mistakes but there was a lot that was good as well.
