Not good enough (result, not performance).

We will be extremely lucky to stay up.

Needed to beat Swansea, QPR and Burnley. 1 point so far and no confidence about getting anything against Burnley.

We are in serious trouble now.  Another critical game slips away. Do we have it in us to cause an upset next game. I'm not so sure.

conceded 3 goals at home to QPR and you have to look at the defensive players we brought in. Richardson was abysmal and Vlaar was poor.

Not being clinical enough when they were playing 4-4-2 cost us. The game should have been done and dusted before they changed to 5-3-2, which did a good job of stifling us. Losing Bacuna didn't help either. We shouldn't have taken Grealish off though.

It's a bad result rather than a disaster. But I think what tonight means is that we need to get something against Spurs or Citeh and hope QPR, Hull and Burnley lose their next couple.

QPR, Burnley and Hull will not make 34 points so we have to beat that.

Clark looked a bit indecisive tonight. Okore has got to come back in for Vlaar.

Pretty much what Stuart Pearce said on the radio.

I don't know with Burnley, they're a team who can pull off unlikely results - especially at home. I really hope we're still not in trouble going into the last day.

Even with hope all of them to lose their next 2 won't happen though.

I just can't us getting anything in the next two games

Tonight will have taken a lot out of the players, physically and emotionally. Spurs will be rested. And we're terrible at White hart lane

Just hoping west ham roll over against us as I think that's our best opportunity for another win before the burnley game

Bring on spurs, no reason at all why we can't beat them.

Agreed , I wanted Vlaar back in the team but he didn't really add anything.However the bigger issue is the fullbacks who were both liabilities tonight.

I agree and Lowton isn't great at left back but he's better than Richardson.
