[Shannerz]

Expect him to spend big in the summer if we don't get promoted. Nothing else is acceptable.

We'll have to sell several of this team anyway.

Wright will presumably go to Turkey; hopefully we'll get our money back. MvE will have suitors, but not for the sums talked about in the summer. Loads of others will only have a year left on their contracts; it will be interesting to see who is offered a new one, and who we attempt to move on.

I couldn't fault Grimes today.
Torp & Eccles were anonymous first half.

 

[Gynnsthetonic]

I thought today was similar to Norwich at home where the ball would just not fall for us. I still think we'll go on a run again. No Allen again, him coming on could of made a difference picking up the loose balls

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

I thought we made changes to late, you could see at half time that Eccles was having one of those days and it felt the three in midfield were not progressive enough.

I would like us to have taken off Eccles and brought on Simms and gone two up as they were just defending.

Towards the end I would like us to have really changed it and replaced Grimes with Onyeka just so the players can’t keep cheating and giving it to Grimes.

 

[oscillatewildly]

Why not?

Hull lost today and if Sheff Utd beat Middlesbrough, we are still in an excellent position.

Otis, sit down my friend. there's something you need to know.
What I'm about to tell you is not easy for me to take either but I shall remain strong and try my damnedest to stop my bottom lip from quivering.
You see it's, it's, it's just that,
It's just that we're not going to win another fucking game of football for the remainder of the season!
Ahhhhhhhh.

We created a lot more vs Norwich



Today:

 

[Ipad Boro]

You do know this is impossible right?

In fact even assuming everyone else in the top 5 wins every one of their games AND you lose against Boro AND the hopeless Baggies, even when the full time whistle blows on your game at the Hawthorns it's still mathematically impossible for you to be out of the top two.

After we play Boro we will be out of the top 2.

Ah hello again. Enjoy the Prem.

Not much more, I just think we did everything but score today. Keep the faith!

 

[mmttww]

These players gave up the ghost before the fans did.

if that's how you saw today, I can't help you. Mad.

More than double the big chances and almost twice the xG is a lot more.

 

[fernandopartridge]

Torp & Eccles were anonymous first half.

Eccles was involved in a few moments first half but made the wrong decision more than once

 

[Gynnsthetonic]

More than double the big chances and almost twice the xG is a lot more.

We dominated and had chances, just wouldn't fall for us, Rudoni against a team like that at home should of started, Torp and Eccles just don't go

 

[long way home]

Everyone should go for a few pints and calm down. Still time to turn things around and get back to form. Never was going to be a stroll to the finish, 15 games to go lets see where we end up.

The ball didn't go in because neither of our strikers can score..must have the most impotent strike force in the division..

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

I’m not just on about today.

Jesus that front three is grim.

And not possible either, BTA still banned

Not sure what you mean by "wouldn't fall for us".

 

[SkyBlueDom26]

Apparently Frank has said we’ve done everything right and there were lots of positives from today’s game, he’s completely lost the plot

 

[Gynnsthetonic]

The second balls in the box

 

[Nick]

The second balls in the box

Because nobody was willing to put their foot through it and then the other times wright was offside

 

[SkyBlueDom26]

Lads, we're in a scrap for the Autos. If you'd been offered that in July you'd have been all over it. Let's keep turning up and keep showing some fight. If we expect the club to show some guts don't we owe the same? or are we just gonna feel sorry for ourselves and fight in the corner like some wet wipes were at full time.

Ah we all disagree on some things

has he really said that?

 

[SkyBlue_Bear83]

EMC is another who is over rated, spends most of the time running down blind alleys and his shooting is wayward

If I was offered this in July I'd have said it was unacceptable.

[Skyblue Bangkok]

He's probably thinking fuck this up and his next job might be at Port Vale.

Or on the sofa on MOD
