    Hopeless against a team on a horrendous run poor refereeing aside.

    If we’re not passing it backwards we’re passing it to the opposition.

    Ralls and Bowler shouldn’t bother coming back out.

    I think he was sold to us. He wanted away, Celtic were happy for him to go, his agent played hard to get and our board went "Ooh look a Celtic player for £2m... bargain, let's buy him".
    I have my doubts as to whether Bulut had even heard of him before the deal was done.

    Let's be honest, they knew how to defend and they knew where the goal was.

    Can you say that about us?

    Sunderland played a lot of young players, including one only 16. They played us off the park with lovely one touch pass and movement, and whilst they scored from two dubious refereeing decisions, if it had been 6 it wouldn’t have been surprising.

    Cardiff were predictably pedestrian, lacking in basic skills and didn't look scoring.

    A home win is a foregone conclusion and you won’t need a late winner, it’ll be over by half time probably :emoticon-0138-think

    Travelled to Poole straight from game so only now able to comment.

    Generally acceptable until the awful penalty decision then fell apart. Other than Horvath no one performed and Goutas was the bottom of the pile.

    "Involved" in the pen , gave the ball away for the second, hardly headed a ball straight all game and regularly gave the ball away. Clueless. If he was away with the Greek squad in the week, too much ouzo?

    It's performances like today which cause me to consider if I want to renew my ST.

    Judging from some of the reaction from those sitting around me, you won’t be the only one

    At least we are going in the right direction, from 5 centre-half to 6 mid-field.

    <doh>

    Got around finally to watching the highlights.

    Bellingham should have been carded for a theatrical dive. The referee should be demoted to local parks football.

    It made no real difference as it wasn’t as if we were likely to score and the best we could have hoped for was 0-0.

    Anyone get the feeling we’re going to just go through the motions for the rest of the season?

    We’ve 3 home games left. I’d be surprised if we get a solitary point.

    As said earlier Sunderland played a 16 year old. Why doesn’t Bulut play some of his youngsters? They surely would benefit from the experience plus wouldn’t be any worse than those on show yesterday.

    Putting a youngster in that team could destroy their confidence and career.

    Worst and most depressing yet at CCS this season - easily.

    Refereeing was atrocious but that's no excuse for our performance. Couldn't be arsed last night and waking up this morning have no comment to make on the game other than that. Generally speaking, I really don't know which way we're going to lurch in the summer, but that lot doesn't bode well for the future.

    It's been said many times but this club is drifting aimlessly with no direction - and so are the fans, but away from the stadium. I didn't like it, but the discontent shown by the boos from the crowd were as much for the terrible performance of the team and not just the ref.

    I'd have said 15K tops.

    ST holders always included in the figure - the rest of them must have gone on Easter holidays or just pissed off enough not to turnup.

    The game was lost by the time Rambo came on - added very little to a fragile performance.

    I just wondered if we'd have been better off from a confidence point of view if he'd started rather than trying to retrieve a lost cause.
