Oh joy.

Only Rotherham have less points in 2017, Birmingham have 9pts from their 13 games. What an utterly crap performance and result.

We almost have to win our away games, given how poor we are at home.

Some dismal performances and results either side of the Brighton and Huddersfield games, thank God we were up for those and won them

Not winning wouldn't be much of a setback, we'd still have come out of the weekend further away from 3rd place if we draw. With 2 homes games against struggling teams to follow...oh wait, we're shite at home

We don't have to win today. We don't have to win but 0-0 here is an abysmal result if it finishes this way, a totally missed opportunity given last night's gift. HTL.

Does it bollocks. Gayle and Shelvey to come on at 70 and win it. 90% of the first half sucked. Boo hoo. Just stating how it is Glass is always half empty for you. To be fair, this was the perfect game to set up aggressively and have a go at an awful side who haven't won in ages, especially given the gift of Huddersfield getting twatted last night. Take a leaf out of Fulham's book from last week and set up to take the game to them. There's not much excuse to waste 45 mins against trash like this lot. Hope for half time changes or at least by the hour mark and have a good go at winning this.

Given the lineup, this is very surprising.

This What happened? I think he's referring to an incident after we played there in January 87. If memory serves, apparently the Kop sang his name at the end of the game there and he gave them a thumbs up as if to say "yup, i'll be joining soon". Wasn't at that game but it's often been mentioned. He only played a bit part in our run-in when Goddard scored all those goals to keep us up. Limped out of the Easter Man U game and never featured again, joined Liverpool that summer. Think that's what happened but stand to be corrected.

It's a good life being island-head. http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2016/03/17/11/3247D03100000578-0-image-a-6_1458215334010.jpg http://statici.behindthevoiceactors.com/behindthevoiceactors/_img/chars/bingo-the-banana-splits-65.9.jpg git

Annoying sod will just go to the Caribbean again and ride around on a jet ski, grinning like Bingo from the f***ing banana splits, then head back for his latest slot on the managerial gravy train in 3 months. Twat.

snidey stupid box head

We're very clearly not the worst, that's laughable but style-wise compared to, say, Keegan's 92/93 team, we're like watching paint dry in comparison

Not having that we have other options I.e. Diame and you might as well play with ten men he is that bad Don't think Rafa sees it that way. He does a job, a specific one, and I think Rafa just sees him as a cog in the machine. Is he a good footballer? No, he's fucking terrible on the ball but he does something that Rafa likes. Think Hayden will be back in the team pretty much as soon as he's fit though.

Shit game, decent result on the back of the previous 2, anyone would have taken 7 points from these 3 games. Beat Fulham and we're flying, nothing to be concerned about here, keeping some players fresh with some tough games left.

Has a minor knock apparently. How's the bed mate?

Think they're the weakest side in the top 6, every time I see them and they win, they seem to scrape it. I had this down as the only one of the 3 away games we'd win but now we've won the other two, the only things stopping us is mentality (we're nearly there, take the foot off the gas) and perhaps a little fatigue from the energy expended recently. If we play like we can, we can win it comfortably but I think a 1-1 draw, 7 points from the 9 would be a great return.

Just glad he's back.

I bet the spacka thinks their pen was nailed on though

Didn't think we'd win either game this week, let alone both. Pessimistic berk that I am 13 away wins in early March is f***ing outrageous BTW, wonder what the record for away wins is? I know Chelsea won something like 15 about 10 year ago.

Can't believe that mutant still plays, wasn't he playing for the scum like 20 years ago??!

Unbelievable win. Fucking brilliant result

Genuinely baffling, done fuck all in an attacking sense for about 20 mins now, needs a shake up

I don't know how Lascelles is getting a game at the minute, his defending is so bad that he's got the back 4 shitting themselves. Even when he's got the ball at the back and has space to run into he's bottling it and standing looking for a pass. He had loads of space in front of him against Bristol in the first half where he could have driven the team on but no, he stands like a statue and looks for somebody else so he can pass the buck. Mbemba has must have done something bad to upset Rafa and it needs sorting out because I think he'd work well next to Clark. If he doesn't trust Mbemba then stick Dummett in the middle where he's more than capable of playing but drop Lascelles as the captaincy seems to have gone to his head. Darlow hardly inspires confidence either, flying around his box and making some terrible decisions. We just constantly give away the most ridiculously s*** goals, needs to stop NOW. Gifting goals in the upcoming fixtures will lead to damaging defeats, the games will be hard enough, need to defend properly.

Only just got to see the goals. Good God, we give away the worst goals imaginable, all the time. Just in the past couple of weeks, the OG against QPR, Darlow's mis-kick against Norwich (not to mention Lascelles' f*** up) and yesterday's howler, Keystone cops defending and 6 points directly thrown away as a result. Actually all 6 goals conceded in those 3 games were absolute garbage. Teams just do not have to work hard to score against us at all. At this level, to do it on a regular basis is ridiculous. At the end of the season when we're hopefully all heaving a big sigh of relief as we stagger over the line to promotion, i'd love to see a compendium of the goals conceded this year, almost every goal we've let in with a couple of exceptions, has been a scramble, a set piece f*** up or an own goal. I bet Rafa and the coaching staff can hardly f***ing believe the gifts we give away almost weekly.
