"Our performance was terrific, we've done OK of late and haven't managed to get that first win.

 

"The hardest part of the game is to score a goal, and that is a bit of mentality; you've got to go cold in front of goal."

 

The hardest part is to score a goal, and that's why we played without a centre forward for 85 minutes.

It's always going to be hard scoring goals when two of your three forwards have the shooting prowess of a 12 year old girl. I'm always genuinely surprised when we score even one goal in a game.

Brighton and Potter  can go a point clear at the top of the premier league table with a win at Palace on Monday night. 

 

Still, he needs to up his game to be better than Brucey according to Luke. [emoji38]

Don't tell him that on Twitter tho, he won't like it.

Might want to add Rafa has Everton a point off top. Baldy Luke’s head might blow off his puny little shoulders. 

 

Yup, the same Rafa who spent a fraction of what the fat man spent and who has the supporters of his club, who almost uniformly hated his appointment, basically eating out of his hand inside half a dozen games.

Cant change things overnight.

He’s openly said he’s not walking away, Ashley will not sack him either, he’s here for the entire season unfortunately.

 

This is what a lot of people either can't or refuse to see. Not only is he not walking away (unless he keels over and then he might get dragged away), he's not getting the boot even if we get relegated IMO. I'd guess he'll be here next season to spearhead our non promotion push as well.

Why would he walk away when he's been given a 3 year rolling contract? Again making a mockery of the idea he was 11th choice btw. 

 

Ashley will only sack him when it looks like we are going to get relegated. If he can keep us up while playing terrible football then he'll stay.

Again I don't think he's in anywhere near the amount of peril he should be but I don't know what makes people think he's bulletproof. Our bar of acceptable stewardship is obviously higher than Ashley's but to suggest he'd be happy having to invest again to get us out of the championship is a little much.

It’s a dismal start. The thing that Mike Ashley will possibly pick up on is that we should have won that, a capable coach/manager would have known around 65/70 mins that we weren’t going to score again and made the changes to just see the game out. Was there for the taking. It’s one thing just being shit but losing points from the position we were in will be seen as failure.

 

Total surrender mentality and anything less than a win in our next match and he’s gone I reckon.

The extent of Ashley's interest this weekend will be that we are out of the bottom three. Has probably already called Bruce to congratulate him.

 

He's not paying enough attention to our performances to recognise how much trouble we are in. If he does ever notice it will be when it is far too late to reverse our fortunes.
