As I said in my initial post; granted most of them are finished here. My primary concern is the lack of replacements / improvements and reliance on youngsters to keep us up!

I take your point. But it is very odd to see so many of the youngsters being pushed through and seniors being loaned or sold off. Of course in Hassenhuttl we trust.... let's hope he doesn't turn out to be a loon.

Trying and failing to stay calm about today.

Looks like Hassenhuttl has been told to play the youngsters and we will try to offload as many senior players as possible. Agreed, most of those seniors are probably finished here. But they need to be replaced and relying on the u23's for the rest of the season just isn't going to cut it. Still a few hours left but I'm getting that Jan Poortvliet .... all we need is Kruger to come out with a statement about us having a "log jam" of strikers and the picture is complete. Please someone tell me it'll be ok .. !

A point is a point. We need to strengthen tomorrow.

St Mary's still an easy place to come for away teams unfortunately.

Basically yes. Not showing anything to suggest we are going to score. More likely another Palace goal on the break.

Poor. No quality on bench either.

We are powder puff. Lots of pretty passing but no quality at all.

Too many average players and not enough star quality so far!

We got what we deserved no doubt. What a senseless way to go out though. Need new defenders. The youth experiment not always working out...

Totally unchallenged.

Devoid of confidence... and ability. Unfortunately.

Disallowed. What an embarrassment VAR is hah

We've been playing most of the game with 10 men. Elyonoussi nowhere to be seen.

1 nil Derby. We've been on the back foot a while

Astonishing win. And Ralph seems to be able to create little opportunities for the academy lads alongside good results!

Taking the Schmeichel now.

Yes the inevitability of 3-2

Nice gift to get us going!

And yet somehow we kept a clean sheet.

Great result. Hard working and somehow we held together at the back. Vital we get 4-6 points over the next 3 league games.

What a superb, hard fought and unexpected point!

Or at least 4 and however many seconds required for them to score a goal after 4 mins is up

Waiting for the board to go up 5 mins added time etc.
