[Collage]

Arsenal next but then we have two winnable games coming up. Not over yet by a long shot.

Darlow letting in 3 cheap goals and almost giving  them two more, and Ritchie not capable of defending if it is for his fucking life. Shelvey being ultra immobile fucking our midfield. Get rid and we have a bigger chance of getting the points needed.

 

Shelvey had a good game, man.

 

Darlow cost us the 3 points today, utterly hopeless performance.

Can't believe people think we're going down after watching that match  

 

We are getting Dubs back in the net. We are getting new players in January. We will play better once the players gets more used to Howes philosophy, tactics & training. Lots of points still to play for.

Please bottle that positivity and open a Shopify store, you’ll be a millionaire.

Is it possible to be satisfyingly disappointed?  

 

Progress seen from my point of view.

[Superior Acuña]

People have reason to be pessimistic about or chances, it's going to be really hard, but it's just not true that it's 'done'. There are 26 games to play, you get 3 points for a win - and we've a new manager that's just come in, plus can improve the squad.

Dubs plays and we win that

I was in utter shock when I started reading this thread.

Man that was so annoying, Darlow howlers cost us that, honestly the most entertaining game i've watch from us is years. Still a 5 point gap, and now bottom of the league. Hopefully we beat Norwich and Burnley in a few weeks, as god do we need to. A lot of positives to come from the game.

[mighty__mag]

Rock bottom of the league?

Good game? His midfield presence is so dogshit, what is he doing? 2/10 hollywood passing and no tracking, terrible tackler, ultra slow. he is a by far the worst type of CM to have in a team like this. We need more mobility and protection for our shit defense.

Yeah, This is where I am, basically.

[McCormick]

We won’t get out of the relegation zone all season. Gutting.

[Happinesstan]

Much, much better. Only one person to blame for the result.

We had the team spirit to come back from behind twice, which we wouldn't have done when egg and chips was in charge. So yes, progress, but we needed a better result.

[TheGuv]

For once a lot of positives from that game. 
 

People saying we’re relegated man. Give over. That’s possibly the best attacking display I’ve seen from us in nigh on a decade. Set pieces were excellent too.

 

We know the issues in defence, we have to power through until January and hope we can pick up enough points. However, Darlow was horrific.

[Yorkie]

Goalkeeper is a priority in the transfer market, like. Dubravka is unreliable and Darlow gives you performances like that. 

[Jordan]

Theres so many games to go and a transfer window where we’ll spend big. Far too early to say we’re down. Dubravka instead of Darlow today and we’d have won. 

[Chris_R]

We're not down, but we're right in the shit.

 

We outplayed Brentford, were by far the better team. Play like that for the rest of the season and we might be ok IF we play an actual goalkeeper instead of Darlow who should not start any more games if Dubravka is even remotely fit.

Disappointed? I'm raging. Great performance all-round spoiled by schoolboy goalkeeping.

The fact we're only 5 adrift after having won a game in 12 shows the teams above us aren't anything special. 

[Collage]

I don’t hate Shelvey half as much as many of you do. Yes he’s static but thought he was pretty good today.

Most total passes, most accurate passes and most key passes according to whoscored.

 

I can't stand him but he was decent today.

Not really, Darlow shite for one, but equally Lascelles deflection wasn't great,  and Joelinton could have stolen the show, but brain farted as usual.

Aye but we also have Leicester, Liverpool, City, Manure and Everton. I'm not convinced we're going down but fuck me we have a rough run of games in December.

[nufcjb]

You know what. If we can have Eddie back on the touchline, we might just be able to pull off a surprise result or two in December from those tough games. Would have had zero chance under Bruce for those games but Eddie and his staff gives me hope.
