What website is that from? I can never find one that shows MINUTES of goals any further back than about 1990. I think my first goal was Gerry Ryan, but I could be mistaken, Steve Foster got the other goal that day, and my memory may have them the wrong way round. Brighton 2-4 Norwich. 27th Oct...

Unfortunately the Premier League was always going to be like this, with the journey and expectation being better than the reality. Truth is, what is the MOST we can reasonably hope for in the Premier League? To become an Everton? Rarely in any trouble, looking over our shoulder at relegation...

Sounds about right. We are still a bottom 5 squad, and have been our whole time in this division. Struggling to think of anyone, except Palace, to have had a less impressive set of strikers than we currently have, where our depth is paper-thin. At the moment it's a bottom 6, but I expect Wet...

The Championship will be quaking in their boots. The Premier League on the other hand would be merely waving us goodbye.

You ok hun? [Note: I'm assuming that's the crappy FB response you are looking for.]

Everton away. It was a horrible performance, with some bizarre positional switches at half time. However, the brief sighting of Murray at the end, and the change in performance that coincided with it, at least gave me hope that he was going to be brought in more. 81st mnute appearance vs Villa...

You're right, it's absolutely pathetic. What's the worse that can happen? We go down. My team still exists, I still get to go, and cheer on the Albion, day out with my mates, etc. It really isn't that bad. No-one will die, it won't see the collapse of our club. I was at Hereford, that was a day...

We also seem to have lost the variation we had at the start of the season. We dealt with a high press by being prepared to also go long. Mix it up, keep the opposition off balance a bit. But now we seem to ONLY try to play it out, regardless of the game situation, regardless of the press that...

I honestly thought he'd start last Saturday vs Villa, after his entrance brought about the best spell of the game at Everton, and he very nearly stole us a point at the end. Then, I again convinced myself he'll start against a former club of his, Tuesday, and maybe not playing against Villa was...

Not sure any of those options quite sum up my current feeling. At present, we look like we're heading down, but I certainly don't feel like "Panic. We're going down for sure." We need some changes in our selection and approach, or we are in the brown stuff, but I do think Potter will continue...

I don't think it's one extreme or the other. I really don't see that bringing Duffy back for Webster abandons what Potter is trying to do here, and nor is giving Murray more game time.It's not just about the individuals it's what it gives the whole team. Dunk and Duffy is simply a better...

I honestly don't give a 5h1t about whether he's "cute on the ball" I just want him to help stop the opposition scoring. Win the ball back Duffy, and then drop a short pass in to someone who can do more with it. Simples. Wanting everyone to be Beckenbauer is great in theory, but going with the...

Possibly. A bit rash in the tackle for me, but his work-rate is certainly there. However, I can't see us bringing him back. From what I've heard the deal to sell him to Fulham is effectively done, they just couldn't do it this summer or they would have overspent and risked FFP problems, so they...

Yes, he could. Easily. At the moment he's still very young and his career could go either way. I think the way we are using him is not helping him. At this age, he needs to be impact subs only, and occasionally. Both Maupay and Connolly could benefit from playing WITH Murray rather than keeping...

I agree. Without wingers, our only chance to get any width is to have 3 at the back and wing backs. Maybe we go back to that with March fit again, as he seemed a key part of it with him playing the left wing-back role. Also, this formation finally gets DUFFY back in the team. Something that we...

Yes, yes we are. Already looks a terrible decision to leave him on the bench so much, so yes, letting him leave completely so we lose the possibility of Potter being forced to play him due to injury or so miracle end of his stubbornness (also, see Duffy). I just can't get my head around it...

No, we need a win here.

The difference being, that I don't agree people have started blaming him for everything. It's not getting anywhere near that bad, it's merely the honeymoon period is coming to an end, and people are picking up on what isn't working out as well as we'd hoped.

The pattern is exactly the same. Criticism of Hughton only started when we stopped going further up the table/leagues. Potter hasn't taken us any further up the table yet, despite having better players, so people are looking for why. Please don't turn this into a pro vs anti debate. We are not...

Yep. And even more worrying is whether we have been rumbled, and a way to play us has been worked out. We have no width, and seemingly, no ability to switch to a system of using any width. It all comes through the middle, so you pack the midfield, over-run us in that area, as Villa and Everton...
