Onomah. Absolute dirge and doesn't look arsed. Not saying our kids are world beaters but are they any worse than him? O'Hare can't do any worse surely?

There is zero creativity in that midfield without Grealish. We look average and like a mid table side.

Davis, he isn't a goalscorer. He's a handful but he doesn't score goals.

Grabban has to start Saturday.

If Grealish is out might be better off pairing Grabban and Davis, dropping Hogan and going direct.

I'm not a Lansbury fan, lazy as sin imo, but Hourihane has been struggling for quite a while, the odd goal aside.

It is. We've got nothing, absolutely nothing.

How are we going to score at Wednesday? What's our plan? Absolutely fucking desperate. That was the reaction to Fulham, be even worse.

The inability to keep the ball, pass, move, cross. It was eye bleedingly bad. But that's the best we can put out.

We're not going to get 9 more wins out of 13. 2nd has gone. If we're still in the top 6 come May I will be surprised as I cannot see us scoring a goal a game let alone enough to actually continue to challenge.

We're done. And what comes next season is the oblivion of a financial reality. Fuck off Villa you useless ******.

I don’t understand why Bruce plays Bjarnason in such a forward role, he offers next to nothing. I had a bad feeling about it as soon as I saw the team (just like the Fulham game). We desperately need to get our attacking players fit again.

I didn’t see the game, but I did score 5 (five) goals tonight at 5 aside. Just thought you’d all want to know.

I bet O'Hare set up 4 of them...

Not panicking yet but Bruce has to realise that we have players that just cannot do the job and give youth a chance. What is the point of extending contracts for these kids and never play them when you get the chance. I would give Grabban a run now he has a point to prove.

If you're playing against five year old children, they don't count!!

What the eff was our keeper doing for their goal!

I agree on Onomah too - he looks slow and uninterested whenever I see him play.

I can't believe we couldn't have found one of the kids with a bit of pace to play tonight.

Are you Brentford in disguise?

Thor, he can only play the defensive role and at least he can pass.

You could have taken the entire midfield off tonight and I don't think you'd notice.

It's really not ideal that we seem completely and utterly reliant on Grealish to do even the basics of attacking play, let alone the moments of brilliance that produce goals.

Grealish and Adomah not expected to be fit for Saturday according to WM. Fuck sake.
