Luckily the automatic spots aren't decided in February.

Well no but picking up 1 point from 6 against the teams around you isn’t going to help.

Bjarnason showing how good Grealish has been in that role recently. The number of times he received the ball 30 yards from goal, turned into trouble and lost possession cheaply. Grealish is a big miss for us.

Is that the Kodjia with that long-term injury?
He has started training.

Preston and their time wasting. Poor showing in that respect.

Bruce seemed to want the point, and got it. Oh for a bit of adventure. Grabban and Davis looked decent together, but Onomah and Hogan looked poor I thought. Birkir runs around alot, but if he plays, he should do so in the only position he's effective in.

If he's going to play, Tuanzebe should be in the position Jedinak was in tonight.

Overall, not overly disappointed with the point as Preston are decent, but we need more from the potato.

I thought a run of goals gave strikers confidence, Hogan was absolutely dreadful. 50p head and trapping the ball twenty yards. Booooo.

Oh well.  Wasn’t expecting 6 points from the last 2 games but we should have got 3 or 4.   
Need Jack back ASAP.   Him and Grab together could be useful.  And I think Davis will come good.

Cannot see where the goals are coming from without Grealish and Adomah in the team. Needed a very dodgy penalty decision to get a very undeserved point.

I shudder anytime he plays a more forward role because he just doesn’t have anything in his locker. As a holding player he’s decent but nothing more than that.
We’re desperate for Adomah and Grealish to get back. We look a totally different team with them in it.

Hogan is all about the type of service he receives. If we hoof it he won't score.

The only positive thing I can say about that is we didn’t lose (last year we would have) and Sunderland are doomed and our little result two weeks ago has returned Scum back to their losing ways. So it’s not all bad 😁

So the team that looked poor v Fulham, starts tonight & guess what it looked poor again. Lewis Grabban should have started as he offers more as the lone striker, but bloody hell, that was poor, two very flat games, I’m worried
