We’re not staying up. Unfortunately the damage has been done and I don’t think this squad has the stomach for a proper relegation scrap. If we had the likes of MLT, Franny, Marion and The Football Genius to name but a few I would have believed in miracles!

Unfortunately, like pretty much all other clubs, we have a moronic element to our fan base. I’ve witnessed it on a number of occasions away from home.

For me RS offers pretty much more of the same. Simply put if we want to stay up we have to do things differently. Attacking sides, taking the game to the opposition and starting to be a little bit ‘horrible’. Certain players that are constantly picked, like ME don’t offer this. He may be a ‘safe’ player but at the moment we don’t need ‘safe’, we need game changers.

We’re down. The only reason I say that is because we never start playing until it’s too late and never take the game to teams. If we’d done this post WC we’d have been okay. The WH game will be a rinse and repeat of Leeds and Brentford instead of saying ‘we’re in the mire let’s go at them from the off’

I think you’ll find they’re getting relegated themselves!!

I’m honestly astounded that anyone thought we’d score let alone win! Time to clear the decks ready for The Championship. I’d start with Selles as he’s done nothing to suggest he’s the right choice. Get the new man in if he’s available so he can cast his eye over the shambles of what will be left for next season.

You say it’s crap but there’s a ‘spine’ to work with there if they are indeed here and players like Tella, Smallbone and Bree show their Championship credentials.

I’ve just listened to RB’s Press Conference. I appreciate he has to toe the line, sound positive and not say anything controversial but if he really believes what he is saying then we may as well call it quits now on the rest of the season.

Yes maybe a heat of the moment post to a degree. However his team selection leaves questions at times. Moi and Diallo? Maybe be braver and select two strikers when we need goals? There’s too much of a throwback to our play under Ralph.

And there are those thinking Selles is the answer 🙄

Tella hat trick

On a positive note Che has said things are more professional now and the players are doing things like turning up on time for training ……

Newcastle at home in the 90’s? Flash and Shipperley

2 wins and 11 goals at home all season!!!

Copy and pasted from every match thread this season by chance?

Tells just grabbed his 15th of the season. I know that wouldn’t necessarily translate to goals in the Prem but we should have brought him back in January

Wrong team selection Players can’t string passes together No shots on target ……………much of the same then? People were saying this wasn’t necessarily a must win game. I don’t buy that and I think tonight followed by Saturday will see us cut adrift.

This seasons Carillo and a very poor man’s Peter Crouch. I doubt he will, but if he could give us half of what Crouchy did then maybe he was worth the fee.

To a degree Fabrice I agree…..but at what point do we say a draw simply isn’t good enough? I think we’re there BIM how many games are left and that we’re coming off the back of good results. We need 4 points from the next two games.

Like Leeds - where we wasted time from the off and created nothing tangible? A point isn’t good enough. It’s Brentford at home for goodness sake!! We’re running out of games so if people think a draw on Wednesday, after getting a point yesterday, is a decent result then we’re destined for The Championship.

GB making any sort of save is up there with some of those worldly conundrums…………like how on earth did we do the double over Chelsea!

I’ll have a bit of whatever you’re smoking please!!

Absolutely. I have it on good authority that the board asked the groundsman at the start of the season to make sure the pitch was as good as the team!

Assuming you’ve not seen the Sunderland approach to away supporters? Not allowed to take in numerous items including vapes, coins etc. They’re listed as banned and it’s a condition of entry that such items are surrendered. Worth BIM for next season (assuming they’re not promoted of course!!)
