Jury in - he's a downgrade signing on Kayal n Stephens
Hang on a second, that's not exactly fair now is it?

Had you said KFC n Ounce then it might have got interesting.

22 shots - 5 on target. Maybe they should try aiming at the goal during training?

Another game where we have displayed how poor we are with the final ball. Our approach play is as good as most at this level but our crossing and set pieces are awful. This is a major concern in the months ahead. Makes you wonder what the hell is going on at the training ground.

To be fair our crossing / set pieces have always been awful. It's almost as if we don't practice them at all.

Losing can become a habit.

From great expectations this season, I am seriously concerned about our constant missed chances. Also concerned about poor defending with our back up defence.
Just hope we can stay in touch and sort out the striker weakness in January cos Murray is not the answer!


Striking is not the problem. Its the service or complete lack of it. Even the keeper was up at the end and we still couldn't deliver a decent ball in.

Disagree. Hit the bar, number of very good chances straight at keeper or on the line. Very concerned that we have 3 months with this strike force. Midfield don't look like chipping in with any goals either

Have we ever progressed beyond round 4? Seriously, I don't remember reaching round 5.
1966....saw a good run...disposed of Orient, Norwich and Coventry. Played Northampton at home in round 4...unlucky to draw 1-1. High hopes in replay. Got edged out 0-8.

I remember that run. I believe Eric Whittington scored our goal v Northampton. I was there (aged 10).

I just think Saturday is a MUST win match now, THREE losses already this season and all the SWAG gone out of the team. If I WAS Chris Hughton I'd stick my BOOT right up a few BACKSIDES tonight or he will be facing the CHOP soon

Oh do piss off you interminable bore.
