Bloody appalling in the second half, really really bad. Ireland shouldn't have been brought off, he was our one slight threat.

Corners - we seem to be standing still not attacking the ball and then nobody on the edge to pick up the pieces - this is crap

Of all the games for Risso to go and watch!

At least finally he'll have something to justify his endless moanings. *winky*

so good Villa - playing the ball around our own half, and can't get out of it.

Compare and contrast. Blackburn go 2-0 down but fight back to get a goal back and have been laying siege to Stoke but have just lost out.

We have barely had a shot at their goal.

We're paying the price for having had so many managers in the last two seasons. We don't have a coherent squad.

Is the most sensible thing I've read on here for a while. We're clearly still in recovery mode. I expect survival this year with some high points and low points on the way. To still be calling for McLeish's head after the performances in December is wrong. And it's probably just as stupid to have assumed we were going to push on for the top 6 after the chelsea game.

I'd agree more if he wasn't making stupid decisions that make things worse.

Albrighton should've started, Bent should've been on the bench, you don't make a change like that to a side that's just come off a great away result.

Petrov has been poor in the second half but he stays on and clark comes off.

Persisting with the same back 4 for so long has been stupid as well, there's clearly problems back there but he seems to have no idea what to do about it so he just lets them make the same mistakes over and over.

This is about as poor as it gets.
