Guly starting to tire, not much we can do about that..!

We can do it!

Fox has much better delivery though, but unfortunately it's not happened for him today. Bit of a frustrating game in general tbf, we're not getting those breaks away from home anymore.

West ham are losing... we need to get something to make this a pretty good day!!!!

We're not though are we. We're just having that slump we were always going to have, and injuries we were always going to encounter. As long as we're still in the race in January then we'll push on.

I think, based on where we've come from and how we were fared to do this year, that we're in an extraordinary position.

It's all doncaster at the moment. Looks like we're hopefully going back to some width, Holmes and Barnard on.

lol @ pboro, they just don't know when they've been beaten.

corner wasted - gk.

There isn't really any other way to dress it up, our away form has been utter pants. Performance wise we've been ok in a fair few of the game, but we've started recently to turn in real **** displays away. TBF this is probably our slump which we were going to have as we got injuries. At least we got ourselves into a good position to have this slump!

Yeh, 3 man midfield - taken away the width. They've got Lallana playing in behind Guly and SDR. Not sure why a big change was needed, as the first half was fine bar the lack of a goal.

They were poss on about the 2nd half tactical change? Which tbf sounds like a cockup.

Corner donny. We need to keep this quiet for 5mins or so, their tales are up.

you have to say so far, this sounds like an absolute tactical cockup by Adkins. What is up with our away form, it's useless.

Clueless fan more like, if he was referring to saints.

Giles Barnes on - dangerous player.

Do you know what the result will be then?

Not too bad - not sure how much threat Guly will offer on his own, but we'll see. I expect as you said the midfield will change around a fair bit, could expect Lallana to popup in behind at some point.

Pretty sure, was told y/day by someone usually spot on that Lambo will be missing for the next few games. Hope it's just today tbf... It's a blow because he's pivitol to how we play, but I don;t think we rely on him as much as we did under Pardew. We litterly had no idea under Pards if Rickie was injured, I think we have alternatives now - not as potent, but still additional options. I would be very surprised if SDR doesn't start up top alongside Guly.

Fantastic signing, a no brainer for me. As well as being terrific on the pitch, he looks like such a decent genuine lad and has struck up a really good rapport with everyone at the club. I genuinely like the lad and I think him and Jose could be our partnership for a long time to come, they both compliment each others games very well. Best CB partnership we've had for a long long time.

He's being tracked by the Milan clubs, Barca, Liverpool and Chelsea I believe. He's not a realistic one for us at the mo.

I really don't think they have much to splash around anymore. Expect them to be run similar to Villa from now on.

As others have said, it's not too bad. January and Funerary look much much more daunting.

No surprise really, he's not done as expected up there. Sunderland fans have been voicing out against him for a while now. Not sure who they'll get to replace him that's higher profile though.

If you look, quite a few of his free kicks these days are ''different''. Fooling the oppo and going for a cross back post for Fonte to header down.... There's more thought about his free kicks now rather than just a free shot for him.
