    Then Spurs, Everton and Palace. I'll take a point from the next 4 now.

    Ooh, that's a difficult question! The owners won't want to sack the first American PL manager until he has a good run...but he's already on dodgy ground.

    Right now for some prospective here
    The negatives first.
    Our defence was not good tonight.
    The ref favoured stoke in nearly every decision.
    Bob's subs and especially one on 87th minute....what is the point of that...
    Our strikers are not good enough for premiership football
    Jenkins as player finder who has made us poor buying the wrong players and not going for Joe and Bony when he had the chance but i dont think Bony wanted to come back looking at his body language...
    Positives.
    Another 6 shots on target but no power in them
    majority of the game played going forward
    They were ripped off in numerous decisions and were denied a penalty.
    The kept on trying till the end and 3 -1 flattered stoke and 2-2 would have been fair

    Not the result we wanted but a good learning curve for Bob that Some premier ref's are not as good or as fair as they should be and when that is the case then it's hard to get a result......It's not all doom and gloom but Bob must find his first team soon and stick to the same players unless injured......Consistency is the main factor here as you cant keep having different line up's every game......

    The only positive Dai is that it didn't end up 6 or 7-1.

    Guidolin deserved better. Bradley going to be difficult given his background.

    If you get Giggs next year - he will confirm relegation.

    2-2 would NOT have been fair. Not at all. We deserved what we got, and they hit the post three times with excellent strikes on goal. Stereo can say what he likes - the result is the same in that it's a miss but it isn't the same a Row Z because it shows endeavour on their part and the fact our defence is poor.

    Terrible all round. If I was clutching at straws I'd say Llorente showed some decent hold up play at times and some good touches but that's it. Morale looks very low to me.

    All this hitting the post stuff - they were shots off target.
    When a darts player misses a treble 20 just the other side of the wire - it's no different to being a few centimetres away - they didn't hit the target.
    I see it as no more lucky than Gylfi not connecting with his shots properly.

    Of course we were, but it's not rocket science, you think that the muppets on our board didn't know the consequences of those two signings? their agenda took priority, filling their bank balances was all they wanted, and they made sure by cutting out the Trust, nothing but greedy ****ers now running the club, and they have now dug one hell of a whole for the Jack army and city, I only wish Jinx would fall on his sword...............<ok>

    We never had the rub of the green it's as simple as that.....Our defence was not up to scratch and that does not surprise me at all when you dont play the same players......We played some good football for a lot of the game even though we have not seen our first team yet.......Like i said we need consistency now and start with the best players we have in all positions and stick with that team regardless of results. We cant keep miss matching all the time or the players wont get any consistency and that's where the mistakes come from......The game plan is not bad but you have to play the right players and stick with it....
