Difference between a pro-active manager and a re-active one.
Solid at the back

I don't why fans are expecting offensive signings in one month ( at a more difficult time ) when we failed to do it in 4 months ( at a much easier time ) Given our current position and the likelihood of relegation, who is going to join to play 2nd tier football?
'Do we have that fight?'
Well, we didn't have the fight to win the Championship, when it was ours to lose, so probably not.
Just saw the result.Icing on the cake for a very bad weekend.The difference between us and the other
lower teams is that we just cannot score.
Next week should really see us in the shit after we lose to Chelsea.The lower teams have had big
results against the top teams.Bournemouth today,Hudds v Man U,Burnley on a number of occasions,
Palace v Chelsea.We have not had a big result this season.We are desperate for it next week.

If you've seen every game perhaps you can show me how to think we'll be fine when all I can see is a team freefalling into the bottom three?

Just goes to show having a Premier League ready stadium/training facilities/set up means a lot less than having a vaguely Premier league competitive team.
B'muff punching well above their weight, fair play to em.

It's been a BAD weekend. It can only get better.
This is why I can only see us getting a loan striker in now, we're not looking the best prospect for this amazing super forward that many expect.
Stay up this season and then a very different prospect obviously

The aint called plucky for nothing.
I remain proud with how we've done given the meagre investment at this level. It's even more hard to take when you consider the investment made by a handful of championship clubs this season... we're miles away from that spectrum, and thus miles away from nearly every team in this (higher) division.
We aint called out of our depth for nothing.
We've been blind sided by a couple of BIG (by our previous standards) signings, and foolishly figured 'we'd arrived' before we'd even stepped off the train.
Chris is doing it the only way he knows how, given the lack of PL talent in the squad. That said I'd go for it now, rather than continue to dampen spirits with negative football and playing the gosh darn percentages.
Yet, and here's the rub, I'm not a superb coach and/or football manager and Chris is. So perhaps he knows best, ahem.
As for this fantasy draft striker signing... heh heh... hmmmmmmmm I'm not sure, BUT the terrible displays by Murray et al in recent games might, just might be because they know their days are truly numbered.
Ultimately we've got a very good and potentially excellent championship team, and a pretty poor PL team. In this division all that talks is money, shit loads of it, and I'm not so sure we have all that much available to us.
Cripes when you think about it, it's a miracle were not in the bottom three already... let's look at the signings...
Ryan - a great bargain signing, with the occasional championship level drawback.
Suttner - average at best.
Schelotto - average at best.
Propper - average.
Izquierdo - above average, nothing more.
Gross - above average, nearly good (on his day) at this level.
The rest... championship players, with Dunk possibly good at this level.
Oh well, we gave it a go, but... it wasn't to be.

You can't expect a team to change its identity overnight. We didn't fight our way to promotion, we went up because we outplayed more teams than our rivals. Huddersfield outfought us at their place last season and again this time.
I fear we'll look back and think that Sidwell's injury has really cost us. He's an organiser, a fist-shaker and has Premier League experience. I know we need a striker, but I think we should try to get a central midfield player with some leadership qualities in on loan if we can find one.

Difference being far better attacking players than ours.
The Board handed CH snails.

Fair play definitely, but they've spent huge sums on a bloody good squad.

That would be acceptable if the loan was a player like Danny Ings
