I wonder what claptrap Pulis will come out with after this defeat - "the boys worked aaard" is the usual one, but that's no goals in 270 minutes and we clearly have the cutting edge of a blunt spoon. I know we all react badly straight after a defeat but we had 16 shots and cannot score; we are toothless unless we can turn corners and free kicks into goals. We have a centre forward who hasn't scored since December and precious little creativity in midfield. Why oh why is Pulis not prepared to give game time to some of the young talent coming through? I know I'll probably get criticised for saying this but I think our 8th position is a very fragile one. I know you can't argue with the results but that squad does not strike me as one good enough for the position it holds in the league and I'm pretty sure it won't finish there, likely not in the top half. Sorry, really disappointed with this result.
4eva, Burnley have one of the best home records in the league, Leicester have hit a brilliant run of form and play the style of football that will take us apart and Swansea may well need points from the last game against us to stay up. So, I reckon you're being very optimistic; I honestly think we'll get no points from those three games.

Kiss goodbye to eighth ..... only good things from today, sjoke and Watford both lost so should still get ninth. Really need a goal scorer.

Is it just me or once we go a goal down to anyone I write us off and wish I was somewhere else doing something else. Watching paint dry would be preferable
Val, at the moment it's you and me both .... goal scoring is not our forte right now. Contrary to my earlier comment might get enough to reach fifty out of the Burnley, Leicester and Swansea games ...... fingers crossed.
