A good piece as ever Dave. I'm not sure about the nerves. It's more the case that we look tired and have run out of ideas. Traoré and Bailey have had their chance and have, on the whole, disappointed. They will surely be replaced. Buendia runs around a lot but with little effect. As you suggest, this performance was way below what we saw against Newcastle.

The tone of this piece reflects my sentiments very well Mr W.

I'm with Frank on this one. Not sure about nerves, it's just caught up with us and it's not clicking like it was.

Agree, I think it’s been like that since Newcastle.

Really good read. Results certainly haven’t gone our way in the last couple of weeks. I guess a tired side has to rely on itself. We really need more threats next season because if Watkins isn’t scoring and Ramsey doesn’t burst through from midfield. We don’t seem to have a great deal else.
