Nailed on win for our massive bastards.

With a decent striker, a lot will come together. Bowen and Kidus are better wide. Potter needs time. 

[threesixty]

I wasn’t expecting that much more from us tbh. 6th placed team vs 16th, the result isn’t surprising. I suppose we are keeping all games pretty tight nowadays which is good. But it’s coming at the expense of creativity at the front. 

we miss Summerville and Antonio tbh. Is what it is. 

one thing I can say I don’t feel massively embarrassed by this type of performance. A respectable loss if you like. They hardly had a sniff. We are harder to play against and I’m just hoping we take this attitude into the next season. 





 

 

Of course you don't, because you don't pay to go over there to watch that shit, and you never have done.

Monday night under the lights at home, producing that nothing performance, with Brazilian and Spanish international centre mids on the bench? Yes, that is fucking embarrassing.

 

 

Ah bless… This football stuff isn’t really your thing is it? 

WE ARE NOT A GOOD FOOTBALL TEAM!

Hope you understand that a bit better now it’s in all caps. 

[Sydney_Iron]

Hugely disappointing, but i just hope it's all teething issues, for lack of a better word! With the new management and coaching and they can see the big holes in our set up, quality and suitability of some in our squad?

This season is over really, not going down not getting Europe and will finish more or less where we sit now

Just hope its all a work in progress and we can recruit/offload in the summer and nail down a more positive and confident playing style as we still seem to be suffering from Moyesball!!! 

[Eerie Decent]

That shit tonight has almost made me hanker for the heady days of 31 shots on goal at Leicester away...

[Maverick180180]

As shit as this season has been 
The 3 worst performances I’ve seen of us have all come under Potter, I think people need to stop blowing sunshine up his arse and start demanding improvement 

[Mad Dog]

Did we actually get Rid of that cսnt moyes?   I've seen no evidence of this this fuckign boring dull shitty cowardly backwards passing inept bullshit season

[southbankbornnbred]

That lad Ferguson was a waste of a loan deal.

He’s unfit, way off the pace. By the time he gets fully fit, the season will be over.

We’ve got to do better than just help other clubs get their players fit.

Gotta agree with Vexed! He summed it up better than me!

[Vexed]

What do we make of Ferguson so far? 

 

 

 

 

 

 

He looks like a lumbering sack of shit. Not that we've supplied him with anything of note. We're devoid of attacking intent. Fat Fergs is a waste of time though. 

[southbankbornnbred]

Potter has got to remember that HE failed at Chelsea.

He needs to understand why, and correct it. Because we’re seeing some early signs of a repeat. He has time, and we need to show some patience. But he can’t just do what he did at Chelsea and simply hope he gets a different result. He won’t.

[southbankbornnbred]

Just 2 shots on target over 90 minutes.

We regularly get just one or two shots on target per game under Potter - and it was a big Achilles heel for him at Chelsea.

Early days, and we can only really judge him once he’s signed some of “his” players. But he’s in danger of importing his big problem at Chelsea.

He needs to spend the rest of this season, and the summer, improving the team’s tempo, creativity and direction in the final third. We’re still too slow, predictable and toothless.

That was shite tonight.

[Haggerston]

Proper wank that. Woke up at 4am to watch. 

[THUNDERCLINT]

I hope the summer break clause in Potter's contract is true, so fucking dull.  About as exciting as a Lithium binge.

 

[camel-with-3-humps]

What do we make of Ferguson so far? 

[Vexed]

That was unforgivably shit from us tonight. They were there for the taking and we needed to get at them and we didn't. Fucking Moyesball garbage and nothing going forward at all, absolutely clueless. Potter fucked that right up. Goal should have been disallowed though, but still what a load of fuckin shit.
 

[camel-with-3-humps]

Ferguson looks shit. 

[fraser]

Poor starting line up, can't expect to break teams down with that midfield... Got what we deserved nothing. 

[ragingbull]

Ferguson has to start next game to have any impact no good bringing him on when we're chasing games with a few minutes left.

 

What is it with us getting strikers in and just not playing them ? 

 

 

Especially when we have Guilherme who can play forward, why are we nurturing other teams shit.

[Texas Iron]

…I forgot to mention…

…Potter  …Very poor man’s Southgate…

Brighton success due to their player identification…acquisition…sales team…not Potter…

[Percy Dalton]

I've said before it's that poxy stadium at least the next two fixtures are away than fuck.

[onsideman]

Remember. Carlos Soler is on £240k/week at PSG

£240k!!

 

[Iron Duke]

Of course it was a foul. He pushed both hands on his back as he was about to jump.

I agree that we didn’t have enough quality up front though. As Michael Owen might say, you’re not going to win many games if you can’t score. I’m not blaming the referee for that.

[ironsofcanada]

I like all three players we started in midfield but I don't think they can play there together.
