We are trying to play football but we just aren't very good. Every time the ball goes to a full-back or Sandro it slows down and goes backwards and we start again.
 
We're the gift that keeps giving! 1 up front against this **** embarrassing!
 
The only teams in our division in worse form than us are Ipswich ( losing at home having just beat us), Wolves (losing heavily at home having just beat us) and Rotherham (not won since august but beating us).

Doesn't make good reading does it.
 
I'm not surprised.... as soon as you hear our opposition hasn't won for months you can just bet they will score against us!
Not over yet, but feeling gloomy.....

On the bright side at least there are 3 teams worse than us (at the moment).
 
Positives from that half: it's surprisingly warm. Hall has done well.

Negatives: Bidwell is awful- we've been sold a complete dud. It's like Perch at his worst.

No one in midfield wants to try anything but a simple sideways pass. When we do have the ball within 30 yards of goal there's no one to aim a cross at. Washington has had no service at all. The set pieces have been overhit and Chery generally seems not bothered.

The only good player on the pitch is Brown who I believe is on loan from Chelsea. You're never more than ten feet from a Chelsea loaner.
 
The "as it stands table" has us in 19th position. Just 3 points above the relegation places. The third bottom team are Blackburn who have a game in hand. Win, lose or draw today - we are definitely in a relegation scrap lads.
 
Apart from there not being a proper striker (I have difficulty calling Washington one with his strike rate) it's an attacking line up for an away game. Against the bottom Club it should be.

Agree that we need to have a go, but I hope you understand the point I'm trying to make. In these sort of games I'd prefer players who have had more serious game time (pav, shodipo) than others who are either not, or just coming up to, match fitness.
