90 plus minutes to get a shot on target against a side with 2 midfielders in defence and another who hasnt played 10 games in the Championship.

They are bang average with a lot of loans in the line up and Ayew in his last year.

nonsense! they have adjusted better than us and i'm 100% sure they will go back up before us as we keep making the same mistakes
time and time again and fail to invest in youth players and academy etc etc. we're a poorly run club that could achieve much better.

This seems like a strange time to be attacking the club for failing to invest in youth and the academy.

A time when the club have finally (on the evidence so far) got their act together. u18s, u23s and academy players breaking into the first team (on the pitch as well as the bench).

This season: Joel Bagan, Mark Harris, Tom Sang and Ciaron Brown all full members of the first team and racking up playing time. Rubin Colwill has been brought on as a sub three times I think. Another half dozen academy players have been on the bench - some of them multiple times.

Covid (and nine subs) has been a factor, but that doesn't explain what has become a breakthrough season for the academy.

Hopefully this is just the start, but it is a good start and the club and management deserve credit for it.

What comes around goes around lol

If we do sneak into the play offs and the jacks don't grab an automatic the squad will know they have recently beaten an out of form Swansea and we can easily do it again
