Hopefully they finish it well. Might rub off.

Really? The implication being let's hope it's not all bull**** and actually has an impact.

The new manager certainly talks a lot of talk ..

Actually think we could have drawn that if the defence wasn't so poor.

We stay third from bottom.

Seriously, how have we not scored today? AT least once.

Bizarre how Davis didn't shoot there.

This is going to end very badly isn't it? Bottom with second worst goal difference. Just feels like too much even with the new manager etc.

3-0 .. Simply awful.

Game over. Damage limitation now.

Our general play has been quite neat and tidy. A few threats on their goal. But defensively we look like conceding with their every attack.

The only way is up.

Priority One: Teach defenders how to defend.

Looks like a good fit for us. But then again didn't Pellegrino when he joined? I am genuinely optimistic about this. But I recall feeling the same when Pellegrino started out - until it quickly became apparently he was clueless. Or at least, the squad we gave him to work with was so poor. We went into that season looking weaker than ever it's pretty much the same now. Need significant money in January and to back him with signings.

If Flores comes in let's hope the fans give him a chance. Seems to have good experience and did well at Watford. Not sure what people expect!

Call me negative but I'm opting for 5-2. I think once we let another in, the confidence will well and truly go. Lukaku will get 3.

2-3 is probably optimistic at this stage.

Barely played recently not fair to judge him I don't think but in agree bednarek is under utilised !

Hughes has that look of a man who knows his future is on this game.

Back to square one then.

To be fair, we all expect to lose today regardless of the score now. Nice to have a bright start but does it save Hughes job even if we go on to lose 4-2?

That's ok. Only Spurs, Arsenal and Man City coming up. Plenty of points on offer.. (Oh ok and some more winnable ones inbetween but we really need to start winning some of those.. )

Jokes aside. At least they know where the back of the net is. Obafemi got in the first team so I don't see why one of these couldn't be promoted and given a chance

Has he been injured ?

Decent enough play. I'm really not bothered we are out, But the decision to VAR cancel the goal is annoying and typical of any attempt we make to try and build some confidence / momentum.
