In my eyes we where looking like getting a point until he started tinkering with the team and formation..

I've not seen his interview after the match yet, but surely he has to take a massive part of the blame for that collapse..

But no doubt he will say it was individual errors and people not doing there job correctly blah blah blah..


Bit pissed off with that result and have to go to work in an hour :(

Never expected to win but a draw would have been great for us..

All depends why he took Catts off for me. If he'd picked up a knock or twinged something fair play. Catt's long term fitness is essential to our survival with such poor cover in his absence. If it was because of the yellow I'd be very disappointed.
 
Would have taken Catts off because the ref was giving everything against us, and he would of gotten a 2nd yellow, and been down to 10 men. We were ****ed when Catts went off although he didn't have his best game.

Ad for Defoe and lens, Defoe had **** all help most of the time, and lens pissed me off with his lack of effort in getting back. When he was knocked off the ball once, he just shrugged and basically walked back, while it was 5 of them against Catts and Johnson who busted his balls to get back.
 
Our appalling way of not getting forward is bad enough (balls over the top to Defoe once again) Now Alladyce is adding to our woeful signings list, when will it end ?. The away record will take us down. We would not have lost though had Cattermole been left on, and Lens as usual just strolled about. PVA must go into midfield starting next week. Graham, toivan etc are not premier league players. And yes the ref made up for it today, you know Spurs are going to get the decitions as it must be fixed, 7 penalties against us mmmm something fishy there.

Mad thing is it could be the other way round next week. Luxury players should be called. when they can be arsed players. I believe there's only room for one in a prem line up though. More often than not both will be lazy. Think Sam will have to decide one or the other sooner or later.

I just really hope we survive this year, have players on big wages leave, and Sam can buy who HE wants. We need battlers, luxury players with pace and flair. Basically a whole new team. Looking tough ask though, Bournemouth and the skunks are ahead now, teams around us are picking up points and we are getting tough draws, when we had an easy start of the season where we should have picked up so much more. I am worried for this season. More so than ever. But in bsa we have the man who is our only hope. Even if he made some mistakes today. Let's hope not against Bournemouth

One game at a time fella. Plenty of twists and turns to come.
 
No doubt Sam got this wrong today, To be fair tho' Catts had to come off before being sent off. Just wasn't sure about any of his choices for replacements..all seemed a little bizarre to me.

It was and im disappointed too. Hasnt been sent off in years and not since 2010 for two yellows. Graham starting was crazy, Kirchoff debut was crazy.

Ah well, he'll hopefully learn from it.

In Sam's own post-match interview words "you can't judge a man on one swallow".

If i was interviewing I'd have asked for clarification there.

Catt's was spitting blood about being taken off.

It was a shock to see it and may have cost us the game. I don't get it myself.

He wasn't on a yellow was he?

On what basis?

On the basis he had just been booked and the red mist seem to be descending, he was booked for a series of fouls and with a fair bit to go in the second half it would have been doubtful he would have lasted 90 minutes. Also, we desperately need him for the Bournemouth game, something he would have missed if he got sent off.
 
Looks like Sam dropped a bollock. Ah well, no body is perfect. Rather it's away to spurs than Bournemouth at home. Touch wood
