we really are utterly pish at defending set pieces. Words fail me. Chalk us down for another unspiring point closer to safety.

We are playing propper counter attack tactics though, so we are relying on soaking and hitting on the break, and will concede possession. It ain't pretty though!

I was about to reply that when we play it that way, (which seems to be all the time whether we have scored or not) we normally let in goals.

Well we've gotta hold on for a point now because we haven't looked like adding to our goal tally.

We're such a poor footballing side.

Uncreative and far too happy to give the ball away all the shitting time.

That equaliser was about as unsurprising as any this season.

Even if we end up comfortably safe he has to be sacked.

Clutching at straws somewhat... You can't keep trying to defend for 75 minutes especially when you're so utterly fucking shit at it.
