Nutter is an incredibly mild insult! I'm sorry I will never understand the mindset of someone who would prefer an existence in the prem in perpetuity, winning nothing and finishing lower mid table or worse every season than actually winning something even if we get relegated.

I would. You're a nutter in my opinion. We will get relegated at some point anyway so might as well have something to show for it.

I reckon it's because people know he's capable of more. Someone like Jack Stephens is not great but also I'm not convinced he's playing below what he's capable of. Can't say the same for Redmond most of the time.

Really odd some people pretending that Redmond hasn't been largely crap for a number of seasons now. It's great he's doing well today and long may it continue but it doesn't invalidate previous dire performances.

This was the game where I have started to lose some faith in Ralph.

We've done nothing since going behind. It's now a major problem that Ralph can seemingly do nothing to influence a game in that scenario.

I called this game from the moment Brighton got their second. Utterly predictable and depressing.

Awful. We should scrape another 4 points to stay up but I fear for next season.

We have looked absolutely shit so far.

If I'm honest I think it's going to be a draw. I'd love a win so we can enjoy the rest of the season and play a few youngsters etc. But with our poor form I think a draw is most likely. I hope ratboy doesn't play well.

I think everyone realises that Ings is off in the summer.

Shame about motd. Virtually unlistenable.

Great use of "toe rag" in that article. In all seriousness though I'm glad they found someone who did this. Absolutely terrible behaviour.

If the argument is that racism needs removing quicker on social media then I can sign up to that campaign. That's not what's being asked for though. Any proposed solution to social media is completely unworkable, I'm yet to see a sensible solution.

Due to the moral panic, abuse on social media is widely publicised every single time there is any abuse of a black footballer on social media, even if the person doing it is a 14 year old spotty kid. That doesn't make it a racism problem any more than wider society. What it means is that everyone posts online and some people say disgusting stuff on social media. If once we get back into stadia we have hoardes of football fans chanting racist abuse at the likes of Rashford then I'll agree with you. That won't happen though because there's not a greater racism problem in UK football than society at large.

So frustrating how we put up a fight and then throw it all away in the second half. Depressing.

Yeah I have to agree. I think LGBTQ+ month is a stupid idea but as it doesn't affect me I simply ignore it, avoid anything advertising it, don't buy products to do with it etc. Others who love it are then free to go nuts over it if they like. It's not an example of anything going mad. It's got enough corporations signed up to it that it must attract and fair amount of support. Good luck to them.

I haven't really seen anything about it this year which is great and exactly how it should be.

Yes I'd say that recent form is normally a decent indicator of how you might perform in the next few games. Just because we ended up doing a fair bit worse doesn't change that. It's an indicator not a certainty.

Probably because I would say that our recent form is a better indicator of how we are likely to do than our form from months ago.

I think that's unfair. I don't think we'll go down but what I said was that we are in an alarming slump and that if it continues for a few more games I could start to get nervous. I certainly hope that things pick up before next season, sheffield United have shown what can happen when you go into a ebw season off the back of poor form.

You'd like to think we'd get another ten points this season but if we lost something like the next 4 I'd start to panic a bit.

I know it's mad to think this way but stranger things have happened now Fulham are winning. If Fulham go on a little run and we keep losing then it could get very nervy.

That's my point. There seems to be real issues with protecting leads and the longer it goes on the bigger the issue is going to be.
