[Sir Megson]

Credit to Pardew for setting up to have a go at a vulnerable Chelsea side, rather than setting up for a 0-0.

As it happened, the style left us a bit open and their quality prevailed.

We missed good chances at vital moments, such as Rodriguez at 0-0 and Rondon and Evans at 1-0 down. Had we scored one of those, the game could've been different.

That said, Foster kept the score down at times and Chelsea were deserved winners.

If only we played with that attacking intent in other away games this season, we'd be in the mix. Unfortunately it seems like too little too late. We need some big, big performances.

Southampton and Huddersfield away spring to mind. Absolutely dreadful team selections and got exactly what we deserved in both of those games.
