FUnny - all the commentators were purring about Stephens performance and felt he was outstanding. Still this forum knows best eh? By all means slate Pellegrino for most of this season....but not today....he really didn't do anything wrong. It was the final 1/3 we were weak (as it has been since Pelle and Mane were sold) and Gabbi was awful.

Wow...our defending is so bad....awful in fact. At least we are competing....shame we have not done this all season or we would not be in this position. McCarthy looks very dodgy.

Comic book defending again..........

There seems to be a general malaise around the whole club right now....really all season. Don't know what's gone wrong but things do not look good anywhere. Really, really poor from the club

Dunno what has happened to our club but the U23s are as gash our first team. Painful to watch

If our idiot manager has any say in any signings we are absolutely f****d. He couldn't spot a decent player if his life depended on it. He's a real space cadet and if his eye for a player is as bad as his managerial nouse we are screwed.

Is Hesketh injured again?

Or it says more about our manager than our replacements. Davis has been a terrific buy but, like all of us, age has caught up with him. He should be nowhere near a starting place as he consistently gives the ball away as we saw yesterday and is not up to the pace of the Prem any more. Our manager has no idea on tactics, players or how to change a game. It is not Davis' fault he continues to be picked and he is doing his best: just that his best is no longer good enough.

Unbelievable that they did not wake up and smell the coffee weeks ago that this clown will take us down. It has been patently obvious as far back as the Wolves game that he is utterly f****** clueless - I have never seen such a negative, clueless manager: and I include Branfoot, Wigley, Gray and Burley in that list.

ARe you for real? WHo put the team out 2nd half with 11 behind the ball and defend at all costs? There was zero attacking intent 2nd half and at home we all said at HT that they would come out and sit really deep and we would concede. This happens almost every game when we are in front at HT. And you think the manager (clueless buffoon, he sure as hell isn';t a manager) has no part in this? The guy is completely out of his depth and has no tactical nouse or any idea how to change a game.

F******* Pellegrino has cost us 2 points. His utterly negative tactics have seen us go from 2-0 and in full control to having 11 men behind the ball in the 2nd half with ZERO attacking intent. He is an embarrassment to our club and the Board is a f****** embarrassment for not acting earlier and putting this absolute clown out of his misery weeks ago. Disgraceful 2nd half performance and down to the manager with his negative, dire, defensive tactics. We are down with this moron at the helm. Yet again another manager makes changes and our clueless buffoon sits on his hands and finally makes changes with 2 minutes left. PLease, please get this utter moron out of our club

Awful performance and terrible tactics from the clown again. Will take the win but depressingly it will buy him more time when we need to have gotten rid of weeks ago.

This manager is showing why we will be relegated with him in charge. Utterly clueless tactics, subs and safety first attitude. We actually looked dangerous attacking and with Boufal and Hoj on the field now we are holding on for dear life. Good god, he is utterly useless - against Prem teams we will get beat every week.

Clueless t**t has done his best to throw this game. He is consistently clueless and has not learnt a thing. Our 2 best players get subbed and now we are sitting deeper and deeper....yet the absolutely terrible Davis is still on the pitch!

What a f*****g muppet. Boufal off, Redmond on. Why not take out Davis or LOng who have been absolutely bloody terrible. Was that booing when Boufal's number came up?

Clear penalty a few minutes ago - JWP and Boufal looking good with JWP making the runs through the center we have not had all season. Still look all over the place at the back though. Davis a waste of space and Bertrand very, very poor too.

This is horrible, utterly horrible. Defence and midfield are so disjointed and Fulham can cut through us like a hot knife through butter. Awful so far

Bloody hell, yet another disjointed dull display in the first 5 minutes. What have we done wrong to be lumbered with this p***k of a manager?

Shane f******* Long and Steven f******* Davis. Muppet! Nice to see he is persisting with his usual defensive line up hoping to sneak a 0-0. Utter muppet

We are in a battle - we'll see tomorrow if the Utd game was a one off. We have to be positive. LOL at the Marco Silva fanboys. Greatly overrated manager and his teams are just as dull as Puel/Pellegrino - while he would be better than Pellegrino not convinced he is better than Puel. I think it highly likely that Watford will continue to slide down the table. We really need 3 points tomorrow - anything less than that and Pellegrino has to go. 1 win in 11 is not acceptable with the squad we have.

Should be first name on the team sheet. His outrageous skills (and occasional misstep!) remind me of MLT. The way he killed a long ball stone dead with one touch and then pivoted in one movement was wonderful to see. Unlike many of our side I look forward to when he gets the ball - sure some of the time it doesn't work but we need someone like Boufal to try something different. POtential to be an incredible player.

Good grief.....Swansea win, Bournemouth win....with every game that goes by we are deeper and deeper in the s**t and I am starting to struggle to see how we will get out of it. Teams making decisive decisions early and dragging themselves out of danger while we continue to meander along to relegation.

What a completely uninspiring lineup.......and how the f**k does Long keep starting. He would miss a barn door from 2 yards out. Shows what a gash squad we actually have.

If Forster is dropped it just shows the hopeless p**k that is Pellegrino. Forster has not been as bad as people make out - while not outstanding, any time he lets a goal in we lose due to our deficiencies in every other area of the pitch. No doubt the clown will play a 10-1 formation with Long up front and no-one within 40 yards of him....then Long will make a break and trip over his own feet. We really are utter s**e and don't see anything improving until the clown is sacked - and it may already be too late for our season anyways.

Was putting a ton of miles in until I, for some bizarre reason, decided to do a marathon. AFter that my mileage fell through the floor. Will be combining running with cycling more evenly in 2018 and have a mega trip planned to the Rockies in July with some friends to celebrate my 50th. Ton of climbing for that trip and plan on doing the 30 mile climb from Idaho SPrings to the summit of Mount Evans. Wishing everyone a great New Year!
