If you sit back every time you take the lead you will draw and lose more games than you win Alex, you twat.

The most upsetting thing is for a neutral you'd think Stoke were at home....

[Fergal]

There is a 0% chance of us scoring a winner.

You can never say never but if I was a betting man I would keep my money in my pocket.

[citizenDJ]

I want a point now. that's what we've been reduced to

Not me. I want all three, and so should the team and the manager. We're at home to Stoke, surely we've got to go for it?!

[Matt Collins]

I don't mean to be harsh but lichaj really looks crap to me.

[pauliewalnuts]

The worst thing is that, the goal apart, we've created absolutely nothing.

[Bad English]

Collins is rightly pissed.

No, only God could be pissed on the pitch.

I feel for some of the players out there, but not the manager. I would have shifted Gardner and got NZog on against Pennant straight away. And there must have been some directive to play counter attack and just soak it second half, which was always asking for trouble, and didn't work well at home with better players, let alone these ones. Keeping the ball would be nice.

We should go for it.  Win this and we are safe, well almost.

Have you forgotten who our manager is?

Even the goal was a wonder strike from what was at best a half chance.

[PaulWinch again]

Gabby really doesn't have a clue about movement.

[pauliewalnuts]

Pullis is going for it.
