I was very much laughing at the oppo keeper.

Saw the highlights. ****ing funny.

Agreed. How has VAR not got involved with that handball though?!

****ing Tory scum, isn't it.

As a midfielder, it’s relatively easy to have game where people “don’t see much wrong”. You run around a lot, take the easy pass whenever offered and don’t make any silly tackles. 6/10, job done. But that’s not good enough for the top level. It was a good penalty but he also hit some poor shots over the bar that should have been on target.

Yes, this was poor from Cedric. Same as the Man U goal. Shirking responsibility.

We need to replace him with Premier League quality like Ashley Barnes or Glenn Murray.

It’s important at PL level to have a strong black guy in midfield. All the best teams do. We’ve lacked that for a while.

Nothing like the Dell but quite like many PL grounds and nothing to do with our poor form, IMO.

Why was John Humphrys next to the urinal?

What?

It’s not “anti-Ralph”. I’m supportive of him. But it’s worth observing that our home form is a problem which he hasn’t fixed yet. Our squad is poor but it’s good enough to eek out more than 1.26 ppg at home.

7 or more is a decent return from that.

Think it’s Arsenal, Spurs (v lucky!), Everton, Fulham, Wolves. Defeat to Cardiff, draw with Huddersfield, draw and a loss to The Cherries....

Played 15 Won 5 Drawn 4 Lost 6 19 points from 15. 1.26 points a game. 24 points over a home season. Needs to improve a lot if we are going to avoid a relegation scrap.

Apart from giving them the first goal he was decent.

This is why it was utterly negligent to get rid of Lemina and Reed with no replacement. Those two have no competition and doubtless both will get suspended / injured over the season.

The thing is, whilst the first half selection was gash and we played better in the second half we still only scored once, courtesy of a poor tackle, and we conceded and should have conceded a penalty. When we play a bottom third teak, we have a chance of winning. When we play mid-table and above teams we will struggle. We remain weak at centre back, centre mid and striker. We only have one left back. We only have two central midfielders. We have a goalie no one else would want. The squad is crap.

Which three teams do you think we'll finish well clear of? I suspect we'll stay up but I doubt it'll be comfortable

If only we'd played this in the first half.

Yeah but if you give anyone apart from the bottom 5 or 6 a bunch of chances you'll probably lose.

Get Ings on?

Ward Prowse awful apart from pen.

Eh? He's doing great and single-handedly got us back in the game
