We need fluky results like the Tyneside man babies just did. I’m drowning self in real ale and it has given me a dodo-esque hope I can peck the hunters to death tomorrow belief. Maybe get drinkenwasser to get our squad pissed and we might play better.

Whilst that analysis is clearly based on the real ale consumption, I think that is a very lucid examination of our position. Except it should be Trinkenwasser.

Lol! I’m two pints in and already forgotten my schoolboy German. But give me a few more pints and I will be putting everything to rights!

That loss for Southampton today could be a momentum killer. Each and every one of the bottom half teams are average/poor, you could make an argument for any of them to go down. Next two games define our season I think. Need four points minimum.

Less worried this morning, more resigned to it.

They finished strong today. Leicester seem to be running on fumes a bit.

There's a worrying thing. Clubs around us digging out a result against top half sides. You just dont see us doing it. We're just glad to get a point against Brighton.

To be fair, we also dug out a result against Leicester recently, to set up a second league that nobody wants to win.

Which is when Smith comes out with stuff like losing to City won't define our season its pretty much bollocks , as we have just seen Burnley and Newcastle have taken  3 points off the teams 2nd and 4th in the league , we won't stay up if we have the mindset we just need to beat those around us

Have to win the next 2. If we can’t beat teams around us then we don’t have a much of a chance vs better opposition. And 6 points would be very useful.

Bollocks to the other teams.

What worries me is how poor we are. There needs to be a big change.

No win from the next 2 games doesn't bear thinking about.

If you're relying on others then you're done for.

We need 4 or 5 more wins and a smattering of draws to take us to the extra 18 points needed to be sure. We could be half way there by 17:00 on the 1st February.

If you're going on Tuesday, then play your part. Park the frustrations and let's make a racket.

It just feels like we cannot get catch a break. Other seasons it used to feel like you could rely on their being teams who wouldn't get wins. This season, we needed a year like that and instead find that nobody else really looks done.

It is irritating to say the least.
