It hasn't helped. If you isolate games against Palace and Sunderland then yes that's exactly why we got relegated. Despite the horror show start to the season - we'd got safety back into our own hands. But we spectacularly ****ed up. As for today - disgusted in those players who didn't even look like they were going through the motions. I don't even think Dawson is good enough for the Championship on that showing.
And Elmo stunk the place out. No-one has questioned the keeper either because he looked frightened to death yesterday and a frightened keeper who daren't put his body where it hurts can kiss his badge all he likes but it will not make him a better keeper. The second goal came from a corner which he could have prevented if he was a bit braver. His lack of command in his own penalty area creates panic amongst his own back four.
The man of the match yesterday was young Bowden and he didn't come on until half time. The rest of them couldn't punch their way out of a paper bag on that showing. Totally gutless.
