We looked the better side in the first half. One goal took the wind right out of our sails. Very ordinary second half. Don't think Palmer ran at them once.

We knew it was going to be difficult. We only just crawled over the line last season, scoring goals being a problem, winning games by a single goal. When we got beat, we got beat big. This season is going the same way.
Hopefully we can crawl over the line again. We're getting experience all the time. Leicester struggled in their first season. Burnley got relegated. They've done alright since.

Somehow we are still 5 points above the trap door, but that could become 2 very, very quickly. We really don't know how to score (try shooting, dear Wagbo, dear Wagbo, try shooting) and once we go behind we give in. We need a shake up in January, if we aren't left behind by then.

[Lord Snooty]

What we could do with right now is a player like.....errm....Nahki Wells.

Yeh, OK. They'll be asking if Jordan Rhodes is available soon. Both players that do sod all up front on their own.

[Lord Snooty]

Glennon unimpressed with Mounie again. Says he's not putting any effort in.

[theo_luddite]

He's one of a few that stand and watch when they used to track back, or even show for a pass.

One of a few standing and watching, not tracking back and not showing for a pass. After the Arsenal game the lads were cheered like hero's despite the battering. After today it was luke warm applause and they came over in dribs and drabs. Summat's not reet at the moment.

[Lord Snooty]

Sounds like heads are dropping. Need a big pick me up week next week.

Having a go at the onion bag for a start would help

We simply don't know how to attack away from home. Yes, we looked the more comfortable in possession than they did in the first half, but with absolutely no idea what to do with it in the final third. Changes in Jan is essential with regards to attacking creativity from midfield. Otherwise we're nailed on for the drop. It's an expensive league to participate in, and if we are not in a position to spend the clearly necessary crazy sums, then we will probably not survive. Passion and work rate at home games will only go so far, without similar levels away from home.
