We seem to have lost the basics of working hard without the ball and defending with discipline from the start. If we keep playing so open at the start of games then I fear we will keep giving the initiative away and teams will take advantage.
Well,I suppose the second half was better but this is still nowhere near good enough.We can be thankful that the bottom three are as bad as they are because despite our poor run I don't think we'll get dragged into a relegation battle.Let's get the 7 points or so that we need to ensure safety & then take a look at things during the summer.
Not enough committment. Poor defending and lack of concentrationt to let in two early goals like that. Not Snodgrass's best day but Masuake did well when came on. Sadly I don't seem to feel much from this-almost expected. Thought someone said we would get 9 points from this, the last and the next games? Disappointed and frustrated and can't tell where the problem lies
Hamstew ;ok Also down, March has been a bad month for us.... We had our chances to get something , but the fact that we are giving away goals left right and centre is a downer....
We scored two goals (again) and gave away three (again.)
Not sure I'd be blaming the lack of a striker for our troubles atm.
Our front two missed two very good chances though. Obviously no striker will take every chance, and it'd be better to stop conceding 3. But I think a Jermain Defoe or a Gabbiadini would've been much more likely to score the Ayew chance after hero-Antonio played him in or the Carroll chance after Snodders' freekick.
I take virtually nothing from the second half performance because because the game was lost after 5 minutes.
No good blaming our strikers - all strikers will score, miss and have some saved. What are they expected to do when given a mountain to climb by the shambolic defence.
Sorry grey, but I can't enjoy a match we lose. I awaiting a price for my soul as that appears to be the only way this club is going to go in the direction I want it to. ;ok

Early in games
7 points?
Blimey I'm not thinking that far ahead. Right now the only team I'd fancy us taking something off is Boro but sadly we've already played them twice
Besides you could bring in messi Suarez and neymar but if you still ship 3 or more a game you aren't going to get many points
Another sad weekend ...

Pretty chuffed with the 2nd half.
Unchuffed on balance, but at least they gave us a performance worth watching in the 2nd half.

If it wasn't for those 3"1-0 wins we would be in serious trouble.
Poor season start to finish..
Each to their own. I enjoyed it. I like it when I can watch us and enjoy it, even if we lose. (Though obvs. I'd prefer us to win.)
Only six Thorn!
