Basically why we are still loosely in touch with the rest.. Feels like we should be further adrift. But lots of others have been really bad too. I had a look at last year's table after 31 games. We'd currently be 19th under Watford on goal diff. Burnley were on 28pts by this stage. They went down despite having accrued 35pts.

Hilarious to see Chelsea lose again. It irritates me to say.. But fair play Bournemouth. They deserve to stay up. The spirit and determination of their players sums up exactly what is missing from our team. Ours couldn't care less it seems.. Infuriating.

I just can't understand why we don't try to do something different. It's the same formation every game. A total lack of tactical imagination.

Just can't see how game after game Selles keeps it the same. Naff formation, doesn't try to mix it up. No substitutions that have any impact. Players have lost all belief.

Nice to see a few shots now the game is already lost. Seriously wtf is wrong with the team.

Not much point sacking Selles. But definitely not being renewed.

We've had no attacks and not upped the pace at all since going behind.

Same pefromance every week. Dull, no threat and just waiting for the opposition to score. Then meekly accept defeat.

Nice run around for the lads. Crystal Palace cruising around. No problem for them today. Looks like we've accepted relegation.

Good we are creating chances at least..

Guardian's "10 talking points frm the weekend" today suggests Lavia has a £40m buy-back clause to go to City. He would not look out of place back there.

Can't see them sticking with him. That's probably for the best. When we go down we need a total rethink. Lots of players will be off and so it's a chance to rebuild. I'm not sure I trust SR to do that properly though..

Every silver lining has a cloud... We score then give them one back.

Newcastle relegation threat every year and now heading for Champions League. Money money money.

Yay. Too little too late but great to have a goal scored for once.

Most dangerous player on the pitch and left totally unmarked. This is turning into what we all feared. More goals to come.

Mara and Djenepo coming on. They helped us beat them last time so...

4 players back and we contrive to just give it back to them. No one wants the ball.

How is that even being checked? Clearly onside.

Ref seems to have switched off.

We've look bright today. As usual we can only raise ourselves for the bigger teams whilst going down weakly to our relegation rivals.

Nice of us to give it a go for 20 mins. Shame we didn't bother last week.

Could be the first PL game to go into double figures.

Yes I did mean TP. I see your point. But he has scored goals recently, so we shouldn't destroy that confidence. Surely it's worth setting oursleves up around him in the hopes it comes good. Can't be much worse than what we have now.

We have a goalscorer but he seems to start on the bench. And when we bring him on, we don't play to his strengths.
