From memory, a fair few loop harmlessly wide or over the bar, as well.

Feels like changes for the sake of changes. Potter has no experience at this level. One moderate season in the Championship ( 10th ) Doesn't mean that he can't learn and adapt but it may involve relegation before it stabilises. To base everything on a possession based style, played largely in...

I am concerned that within our management team there seems to be an inability to organise defensively. None of our failings at the back have, thus far, been corrected. It seem that all the emphasis is on ball carrying out of defence. Expansive football without a solid defensive base. I want to...

So...pray enlighten me. What do we need to understand ? That two wins in fifteen is work in progress? What I saw today was our inability to keep two leads because of defensive failings. Its happened time and again this season but nothing seems to change. Thats my worry. Thats what I understand...

I wish I shared your confidence but we don't defend well enough to win games. Two goals should have been enough today.

Very calm all game. Knew how we were going to play. Knew we wouldn't hold either lead. Knew we wouldn't defend crosses and set pieces. Knew we would play a lot of harmless football in front of them. Knew Bissouma would be immense. Knew that Trossard would flatter to deceive. Knew I would be...

Is that more important than being solid at the back?

But is the football that attractive ? Today was boring and predictable. One tempo, harmless football, all played in front of the opposition without hurting them. We don't seem very flexible as a side. We are lacking solidity at the back. We cannot defend a lead. We have no variance in taking set...

What.....to keep conceding goals from crosses and set pieces?

Don't hold yer breath.

West Ham were absolutely awful. They were there for the taking. They will not play that badly again this season. Today was a clear reminder why we have only won two games out of fifteen. When we are dominant, we don't create enough chances and we are incapable of defending set pieces. The...

We are not a top fifteen side.

Its been shocking all season. We have just as many problems at the back as we do going forward. White, Webster and Dunk are the least convincing back four in the whole division. I expect us to concede at every set piece, such is our inability to pick up attackers. Coupled with mistakes every...

Its attitude. We play at the same tempo almost all the time. We spend the majority of our time playing harmless football in front of the opposition. No variance. No ability to change tactics. We have a one-trick pony for manager. We are easy to play against and easy to score against.

I don't know about brilliant. Organised, resolute, determined....hardly brilliant. They did give us a few opportunities which we contrived to miss and we did miss two completely open goals. We will not see a poorer side all season, completely devoid of confidence and they were there for the...

No....but he could have improved our chances of scoring by bringing on the only class forward we have, a lot earlier. Instead, he chose to leave on the hopelessly inept Connolly, who managed to get in the way of Welbeck scoring. It was his choice to start with two strikers. One completely devoid...

He is guilty of overthinking a lot of the time. The problem with these so called ' deep thinkers ' is that they tend to miss the simple things, over coach and ultimately stifle. We are caught between two styles and it is down to the manager. I have serious doubts about the whole quality of the...
