I admire your positivity-If we had put in a performance today and lost i wouldn't be to critical of the players or manager. If i can see the manager and team trying to do the right things then there wont be any criticism from me, same in life, but today broke the biscuit for me, we didn't take any risks, couldn't string two passes together, most of our side (Hoilett aside) need three touches to get the ball under control (Mendez sometimes needs five) we can't keep the ball or play through a side at any moment during a game. It's shit, we may well survive, although the way we play is short term, no team that plays like we do can progress.
