I’ve got this sense that we’ll just survive and have a great season next year. Just like SGT’s first season back in Division One all those years ago.

That was then and I remember it, but this is very different. Today was appalling, not to get beaten by Chelsea but the manner. If you go into a game knowing you will be without the ball for periods of the game, you do not go with 4-3-3. Try and get players in who can break up the play, and cause problems a 4-2-31 or a diamond with Douglas the bottom and Jack at the top, we could even play two strikers, heresy i hear heresy, you cant play two forwards in 2020!!!

Look we are not good enough, the gamble of getting in unproven players looks as bad now as Lambert's young and hungry. We are going down and ok im a miserable sod, and you wouldn't want me in the trench with you, but FFS!!! Dean try and change it lets at least go down with a fight.

I think the difference is that SGT was a top-flight manager who had the respect of the players.

As others have said, I am not worried, I am resigned.  We simply cannot sustain anything.  8 left, we need 4 wins minimum. Just not going to happen.

Will not get us to 36 / 37 points. If blind faith was all that we need we would have won the League Cup. People wake up!!!

I remember at the time he wasn’t getting much from fans.

We absolutely have to go out and having attacking intent now. There’s no point in sitting in and getting picked off.

Bad recruitment has done for us. Better check the Sunday  train-times for the Bl*es game next season to see what ungodly hour I'll have to leave for the station.

It’s not just bad recruitment. It’s a real lack of a tactical plan that’s the main problem.

Not as worried as I was an hour ago. Kids bought me a bottle or two of Hobgoblins Ruby 6.6% for Fathers Day which post match I’m thoroughly enjoying. Can now see us beating Newcastle and Wolves quite comfortably.

Konsa at right back is a weak option as well, it screams we’re planning to be on the back foot. We need our full backs to carry an attacking threat to actually create some space.

Konsa is rubbish, right back or centre back. Utterly mugged by Brentford on his price too. When the alternative is Elmo you know you have a problem but Elmo should be starting instead of Konsa. Even defensively Elmo is better than Konsa and much better going forward.

I've said consistently we should never have bought him. That money should have gone towards a more established striker.

The management have been shocking. I lost faith in them when we were throwing away points from August to December. I've lost count of the points chucked away- 5-6 minimum.

Konsa, Target and Wesley. Got mugged for them all. Trez is another not good enough but at least his fee wasn't astronomical.

I reckon we've dropped over 20 points from winning positions this season.
