I hate watching us. The difference in composure on the ball, movement, creativity in us and Brighton makes it clear they deserve to win the league. Dying for the season to end!

The Championship is shaping up to be really competitive next season, even teams like Sheff Utd and Bolton who look like coming up will make the league a lot more interesting. Thank christ we look like we're getting out of it.

"There goes Brendan Rodgers... I must thank him"

Definitely worth persevering with, but I'm not comfortable at the prospect of him starting first choice for us next season. Not sure how much the captaincy has helped tbh, a lot of pressure for someone so inexperienced.

Come on

Another before HT would be nice.

Worked myself up about this, looking at the table and ours, Brighton's and Huddersfield's remaining fixtures. Really nervous now.

Disappointing but not the end of the world. Really need to kick on at home now.

Never knew Minty supported the toon.

I've come to expect games like this at home, it's been there to see all season that we've been under performing, but we've generally bounced back, which I'm pretty confident we'll do again. As long as this doesn't start becoming a habit we should be good. It may be a lot closer than we all think though, and I can definitely see Brighton pipping us to the title.

After seeing us on Tuesday I was fearing today when seeing the line up. A few key players have played without rest for a good while now, it must be taking it's toll. Shelvey, Ritchie, Clark, Dummett and Lascelles would all have needed a rest ideally on tuesday to prepare properly for today. It might be good we have a week until Birmingham.

About to have 2 creme eggs to cheer myself up.

This happens regularly like. Just my opinion but I don't think he has what it takes at this level let alone in the PL. Becoming clear he's not good enough in any situation bar when we sit deep and invite pressure.

Noooo, not Norwich.

Nah, bring back Derek Wright. Edit - He's still about?!

Haven't we had that ref already this season? I remember posting about that West Brom game fairly recently.

Same here. Absolute joke. These stadiums in the middle of nowhere where 90 percent come by car are a disgrace to society. 90 mile drive home for me but didn't get in until nearly 1am as it took so long to get away. Yep same here. Seemed like quite a few fans were late to the game as well due to being stuck in traffic. Joke! We got on one of the buses at 6.50 and were 5mins late. Ridiculous.

'on'

On the train back. Reading has got to be one the worst away days possible. So shit - grim match aside.

BHS

The novelty of having a reliable centre back is probably playing a large part in that. Meh, this season has largely been built on being solid at the back first and foremost, so I don't see it as that unreasonable. It seems like he's been ever-present too.

Sunderland just need to go down, for their own sake more than anything. Need a full reset.

Player of the season so far for me.

They're a good side, no doubt about it. If they had a decent striker they'd be pretty formidable in this league.
