The latter would be running in treacle, as ever, not great for a team looking to counter. Not sure what Ings would offer with the game as it was.

They must be ****ting it

That finishing, end product and final decision making is why we are where we are.

Not sure! Looks a bit weak in the knees...

So 3 clubs in 19 years?

Sky have softened the game and softened the fans.

Anything from this is a bonus - prepared for a spanking !

We used to be quick and relatively witty with our chants, I agree! Be good to see some (dark) humour to rattle the bin dippers.

I'll go with you if you buy two and pay a bit more if you like?

In the same way that many in the crowd are passive and apathetic to singing, there are a massive majority that will unfortunately not call out this sort of behaviour and challenge (I mean properly challenge) the culprits. The by-stander is facilitating this sort of abuse by not challenging it. Awful stuff that is completely callous, ignorant and offensive.

4-0 to United I reckon, two of which will be absolute gifts early in each half. We'll hit the crossbar once and the post once, adding to our frustration.

Panic buys haven't exactly worked that well previously in January. Carrillo springs to mind! I think it prudent to trim the squad in anticipation for a renovation in the summer. We don't need squad players, we need quality - hard to come by in January.

What was the table like when Ralph joined?

Just reading some of the comments - opinions on the lad seem very polarized!! An encouraging start being thrown into the deep end against top PL clubs. He's a good prospect, certainly.

Difference is they're just sniffing. If they want him, they'll get him. Sad truth for clubs like us and Bournemouth.

Thanos.

The expectation never really went away, it was replaced with an expectation of disappointment!

Telegraph journo is club fed, this story makes us seem a bit more savvy and ambitious aiming for this sort of manager... For us only to be denied despite our "best efforts" leading to Flores... Almost Third Reich levels of propaganda?

Thanks for the update Guan

Let's not forget the in the knows have said it's Flores.

Something is seriously wrong isn't it? We're acting like paupers, but seeing no financial rewards for our "prudency" and austerity - by all accounts we seem to be acting worse off than we have been since returning to the Premier League....

Wings of a sparrow is an absolute Bobby dazzler of a chant.

Default Is it a tactic of ours to sit back and defend extremely deep? We did it under Puel so maybe the limitations of our squad force managers' hands? It is bloody painful to watch us retreat into our own box and invite pressure from and concede space to our opponents. We almost conceded a couple of occasions prior to the penalty, but no tactical change or leadership on the pitch to push out and press eventually cost us! It seems like a conscious tactical decision from MH to sit back and defend deep. Very troubling if so. A draw a fair result tonight I feel. What an awful game of football at times! Laughable, it was like pinball!

Prove me wrong please, Danny.
