Thank fuck they have Torres up front. A decent forward might have made the score really ugly

We have a useless manager and a stay away owner who seems to have lost interest.  That's why we are fucked

Yep we do, and we seem the side with the least fighting spirit of the lot. Mcleish has truly done and terrible, terrible job.

We look every inch a team bound for the championship to me.  I don't know that's too appropriate to say today but it's true. 

I agree, would it be such a bad thing? The only half decent player we'd lose is Bent. Every other star player has left us in the last four successive seasons.....

What the feck in McLeish doing putting Albrighton on the left!?? He has no left foot FFS! Makes him too one dimensional and ruins his confidence.

Deep trouble is 5 points below the dotted line not 5 points above it.
In that case thank fuck we are where we are.  We must be having a good season...

In football terms it would potentially be a disaster.  For every 'Newcastle' there are 5 'Sheffield Wednesdays / Notts Forests'.

I still think that a big part of our problems is tactical, Bannan and Gardner have looked out of position, with the team he had we should've played Herd deeper and had 3 in the middle and pushed Lichaj and Warnock to provide width but because McLeish doesn't let the fullbacks break forward we can't do that.

Even when he changes it to give us a genuine wideman he puts him on the side where he's going to have to cut back or inside.

I genuinely think there's enough talent in the 11 that started today to have done much better but the naive tactics have screwed us.

Because he won't get a sniff on his current form versus Cole. He might have a chance on the other side.

Well done Alex ;)

Does he say that?

No. Grow up a bit.

Incidentally, that is where our next goal is coming from.
