My enduring memory of this season is James Colins running back to his own half after missing a header from a corner, head in hands.

That and the shots of Petrov just now.

The young players are active, mobile, willing and technically gifted. They're wasted by the wrong-headed strategy of - thumping it to Weimann (!?) in a 4-4-2. Gardner should not be wide, it's a joke. Bannan should not be so restricted. They're being held-back by poor strategy and rigid uselessness of system, and by the useless, brainless thumping of the 'senior pros'.
Agreed - if he'd played a 4-3-1-2 and started playing the ball on the ground, we'd be doing better. But at least for the most part they are trying to pass through the oppo.

We are currently as things stand 6 points off the drop zone.

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.

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

Granted, but today of all days is a day for us to be positive and strong. No negativity.

Danny, would like to report differently but as it stands the Chelsea back four won't have an easier game this season, especially the two CB's

We could have done with playing that Bolton game (assuming we won it).

Half chance there by Baker. They may as well have not brought a keeper today

Isn't it though? There was a bit of Spanish commentary at the start, but they've either got a fault or they've gone for a siesta.
