[Legion]

Available Tuesday night.

Need to play more like that second half. Ideally for both first and second half. Oh well, we go again.

[Apyadg]

It isn't enough to have 45 minutes when you're just...not shit.

Apart from Weimann's chance (which should perhaps have been a penalty?) we didn't really come very close in the second half. Just not good enough.

[Monty]

If we can't get something from that, looking at our upcoming games, I think we're relegated now.

[PaulWinch again]

Sorry but yeah the second half was good, but we were killed by the first half. Putting 5 at the back is utter insanity and it's dropped us down again.

[TonyD]

Still staying up.

[Holtemeister]

Fair play .... they at least give it a good go

[Ozzjim]

Before the pen we had 3 good chances

After it there was Wiemann, Baker header and a couple where Benteke should have done better.


Buy 2 midfielders that are big and strong and can compete and we stay up IMO. Don't and we are down.

[Chipsticks]

Not good enough, but signs of improvement.

I suppose.

I thought the second half was good enough, we should never have put ourself in a position where we neede 2 goals just to draw level, 90 minutes like the second half and we'd have pissed it.

Utterly shambolic first half.  Shit or bust second half and we gave it a really good go but you can't turn up for 45 minutes and expect to win games.

And it looks like Wigan and QPR have picked up points so we're worse off than we were before.  Not a good night.

[PeterWithesShin]

If we do go down, 0 points from Wigan, Southampton and Newcastle at home will be what did us.

[Toronto Villa]

We've made our own bed as a club. We will be getting what we deserve, and while we've had next to no luck we really haven't been good enough to deserve any. We are now looking over the cliff face into the abyss.

You can't ask for more than that from the players.

As for the manager, he blew it with the tactics in the first half.

We will not buy. We are down
