I think there's some real positives to take from this, our movement and 1 touch passing has been much better, just a shame that we seem tied to 2 banks of 4 in defence and midfield.

Oh, and Lichaj is a much better player than Hutton, needs to be a regular for the rest of the season for me.

They are tearing us to shreds in the final third. By comparison we look lost when we cross the half way line

I'm surprised how easily many of us have excluded us from the relegation battle.

Which means the teams in the drop zone have to win AT LEAST 2 mmore games than us to go above us. Not panicing yet.

Yep we are rapidly being sucked in.

I certainly don't want to have to go to Norwich on the last day looking for something.

The problem is, I just can't see us winning many - if any - games. We've a tough run in, too.
