Do we still set traps?

[hilts_coolerking]

The reaction to that penalty was shattering. They've allowed themselves to coast this second half. Far to weak and passive. A total contrast to how we started the game.

I agree with all of that except the first sentence.  Our reaction to that penalty was fucking unprofessional.

Do we still set traps?

Yes, then we walk straight into them.

[Legion]

Criminal that we dont have one decent striker at the club.

We do. He plays for the U23s. He is stuck at home as he has not been selected to train with the first team for some bizarre reason only known to Smith.

To be fair, if there was a crowd, I think the atmosphere would be the same.

Criminal that we dont have one decent striker at the club.

And haven’t all season. It’s criminal negligence.

[TonyD]

There won’t be a waiting list for STs next season if Smith stays.

A number of players should be taking a long hard look at themselves after this second half.

Absolutely. Thought McGinn did ok for most of the first half but looked he couldn’t wait to get when subbed. What’s the point picking one out though, most of them just came out for the second half with nothing to offer.

There was talk of solskjaer for our manager once.

[Edvard Remberg]

McGinn  Grealish Mings can all leave ... if that's what they can offer as a fight then p.. off

I didn't think we would win, in fact I thought we would lose, but the manner of the defeat is unacceptable. I'm not on about the scoreline, that can happen against good sides, but the reaction is so bad, so weak, so poor. We have to win Sunday. There's no hope if something goes against us, we collapse.

And whats worse is the senior players, Mings and Grealish have been the biggest culprits.

[wince]

A Poundland lighter would have a better striker than us. How have our heroes gone from conquerors to c**ts? I may be minority but I quite like hologram

It was an outrageous decision and what do we do?
We meekly accept our lot, not one word of complaint from players or manager, this tells you all you need to know.
We are gone.

[cdbearsfan]

Well done again, Luiz. If the rest had shown his commitment in the past month, we'd be where Brighton are in the league, already planning for next season.

Children now coming on as substitutes, I expect they’re better than our professional grown ups.

It’s the best way to destroy them.
