I think as a club our set up in general, our ownership, chief executive, manager and playing staff and even the atmosphere amongst the players, around the club and amongst the fans is a million miles better than 1987 and 2016.

I don’t want to be negative on the eve of a cup final but I’m very worried we won’t get the points needed to stay up

Feels like that. Can’t see us closing down games against good teams even if we get ahead. And can’t see us out-battling teams at this end of the table. Just can’t see where the wins are coming from.

Our lack of a quality midfield is the problem and i’m not sure we can fix it with the players we have in the squad...

Meanwhile Watford are beating Pool 2-0. Can’t see any clubs worse than us.

We would bottle this and lose 2-3

We begged for this. So many results have gone our way lately but we’ve bottled every chance to get ourselves out of danger. Pathetic.

Players have let us down. The points tally going into this weekend was a disgrace, simply inviting teams to leapfrog us. You can't lose 3 games in a row, 2 of them most definitely winnable, and expect other teams won't take advantage.

This has been a shit season.

You can’t purely rely on being less shit than 3 other teams, we all know this from experience. I fully expected results to go against us this weekend while we’re not playing in the league, because that’s generally how it goes.

Whatever happens tomorrow, the players will have to step up and get some results by any means necessary.

All this game has shown is we're incredibly slow on the counter attack. This Sarr bloke has ripped Liverpool apart.

You need pace in the final third to beat the better teams. We had it in the MON days and our results v other top 6 were pretty good on the whole.

And to keep believing in what you're doing when 1 up.
