    Peed off with result, but we played football and not Ainsworth’s dross, can consider ourselves unlucky in my honest opinion , onwards and upwards on Tuesday.

    Thanks for the updates Bwood, my link didn't work so I enjoyed watching Chelsea getting smashed instead.

    One upfront isn't working for us and Plan B shouldn't be replace the one upfront.

    Hopefully lessons learnt by Tuesday, if not 10 points in December says everything you need to know.

    Extremely worrying that we have played well in the three games under Cif, BUT only one goal. I hope he has a solution!

    We looked the far better team but just so toothless up front. I do think we’ll survive this season, Marti has us playing so much better than that previous bloke.

    We dominated the majority of that game and lose it to a soft goal. Field should of scored in stoppage time for the draw. Norwich's first clean sheet in seven games. Hmmm! We can't survive in this division with these useless strikers.

    The problem is, how to play 2 up top.
    Maybe with all the centre backs fit we could play 3-5-2?

    Bag on nines. We all know the goal threat is non existent. I’m sure Marti does too. It’s one thing doing your stuff on the training pitch, he will learn and see a lot more in the thrust of the game.

    Can we eek out enough points between now and January to not be completely cut adrift? A couple of canny recruitments could make all the difference. Trouble is we are notoriously ****e in December.

    Not a chance of staying up this season. We have the worst strikers we’ve ever had in our history. I actually felt we were going to win this one. I’m now accepting our fate and hope we can clear out the dross that have been letting us down for so long. I just hope that we manage to rebuild in League One.

    3 games in charge and 1 goal scored ! Our problem is obvious and has been for so so long

    To be fair there wasn't much for any striker to get on the end of today, over hit and underhit crosses, really poor corners, chair shooting from miles out, we're keeping it down and trying to play though

    I will only reluctantly accept we are going down if we lose to Stoke at home on Tuesday.

    87 points still to play for. Much too soon to be writing us off.

    Need a striker in January, though.

    Hmm goal scoring.

    Perhaps dump Dykes, Armstrong and Kelman and play with a false nine. When Smyth is back of course.

    Think we need Smyth’s pace wide but it’s not a bad shout. Or play Armstrong wide and Smyth up front.

    Best I've seen us this season and we still lost. The balls into the box were woeful, Paal can't take a corner for toffee. Willock had his best game for a long time. Can't seem to take to Colback. Would have taken him off and left Bonner on. To be fair to the strikers, they didn't have anything created for them. I would love to see Armstrong start out wide and make his runs from angles with his speed. Swapping Dykes for Armstrong just isn't doing anything. Some new personally are desperately needed.

    I hope it's to drop Dykes (his style doesn't suit us) and start with Armstrong and maybe Kolli or Kelman up front.
