    Triple sub is too risky. They'll try and kick us off the park if we do that. They are dirty time wasters as it is. Double change is the best idea and the third sub around 75 mins.

    This is worse than I thought. I was fully prepared for a 0-0 draw and out on away goals but this looks like a 2-0 defeat to me.

    When was the last time we were trailing 1-0 at half-time and we won 2-1, against anyone? :emoticon-0101-sadsm

    It is, yeah. Having to endure Hargreaves at half time is only adding to my pain.

    I know I'm getting way ahead of myself here, because just scoring one goal looks like a big challenge for us right now, but I presume that away goals also count after ET, just as they do after 90 mins? Would give us an advantage in ET, should this finish 1-1 after 90 mins.

    Everyone said Europa league would hinder our Premier league games. Seems more like our dire premier League games are hindering our Europa chances.

    I don't really care that much about going out. But we have to start showing some quality. So disappointing.

    Yep. And I think I can say with absolute conviction that their coverage is not great. Though I might feel differently if we were 1-0 up and playing well.

    I'm not seeing this as quite the tragedy some people are seeing. Is this really the worst performance ever seen?

    We've generated opportunities that one another night could well have been in the back of the net against a team playing as negatively as it's possible to play. Jose, Davis and Jay could all have been on the scorecards. Our problem was a reasonably isolated error at the back, not the front.

    Why have we still got 3 CB's on the pitch? What on earth is going through Ron's mind?

    In a universe of infinite probabilities, we should never be surprised at what current events present us. However, I never thought I'd live to see the day that Gus Poyet's "Dagenham & Redbridge" jibe would bear up to scrutiny. Jeez we have been ****e since the season proper started. As we say in Glasgow "Moan tae **** boys!!!".

    Mini rant over. Normal service resumed below:

    Easy 1-3 for us now after Ron's worked his half time magic.

    How long is this no win situation going to last. Deserving to win is not enough. Playing well is the first priority and we are not playing well!

    We have three CBs, they have one striker. And yet their one could have had a hat-trick.
