It's not great at all but you'd think we'd been relegated and disgraced ourselves the way people react. Well, we have just gone into the second half one up against ten men, only to repeat the mistake we last made six days ago, and get beaten 3-2 when the correct subs to be made could by spotted by a one eyed man on a galloping horse.It's not humiliation, no, but it is incredibly frustrating, and it's hardly surprising people are reacting angrily half an hour after it's finished, is it?We got into that position to then lose it. We didn't do a Watford.Of course it's frustrating but don't start questioning him already. Please. No, you're right, we didn't lose 8-0, that would have been way more, but we managed to turn 3 points into none by way of some poor management. It isn't surprising people are questioning the manager's handling of the game as a result. It's not the end of the world, but there's going to be immense frustration.

In parts some of our best play all seasonWe were not playing Rotherham so some of the comments above totally unfair. 110% by each and every one of our gang
Corralling my thoughts walking back up the Holloway Road.The first is the bad; the naivety that was the last 20 minutes. For me we needed to sacrifice the wide options quicker and bring in more central midfielders to try and stop them running through us.Having a man advantage is fine, unless you're sacrificing territory and possession in which case it makes no difference.All three goals were very poor. Engles in the build up to giving the free kick away for the 3rd, Mings no clearing his lines for the 2nd and just letting their player drive through us for the 1st. All very avoidable.We've thrown it away, all 3 points. But, I also felt we played well for good chunks. We looked threatening, probably should have scored more. Grealish needs to get on the ball and drive more, as when he did, he cut them to ribbons. There's plenty there, but I feel our naivety is working against us at the moment. I didnt expect anything here today, but I leave, hugely irritated that we didnt win.
"That is two weeks in a row that teams down to 10 men have affected us badly. We have addressed it in the dressing room."I don't know if it is a lack of belief or tiredness, which it shouldn't be. We should be creating the chances but we weren't."We showed we are dangerous and scored a good goal, concede one and then show it again. But we got deeper and deeper and you can't do that. It is game management. It has cost us dearly this season."When you force pressure on yourself you get punished. We need to capitalise when things go for us in the game.

It’s the hope that kills you. Losing 3-2 away to Arsenal is not generally relegation form. We scored 2 good goals. I think maybe 433 away at Arsenal wasn’t the best idea, and I’m sure Dean is now fully aware of this. I have faith.
At this rate Mr Terry will be the Manager by the next international break.
