    Will this result make the players realise we are in a relegation scrap? Will it prove to Gino that QSF is never going to save us due to negative tactics and sub par subs?

    Answers to both on a postcard. Address is on the Club's main webpage under "Contact Us".

    Bizarrely Gray actually set up a really good chance with some good individual play which Doucoure blew.

    He was the last striker to score for us in a Premiership game. lol.

    But I know what you mean, ive noticed in other games when Delefeou has gone off there is no one to turn defence into attack as it were. Sarr is a similar player however, maybe take Sarr off for Gray. But I expect others on this forum would've then complained about that substitution lol.

    Gray was brought on for the injured Pereyra and Gray was terrible in that match with his lack of hold up play, losing the ball constantly.

    Yes he scored a goal but he invites pressure on to our defence to such an extent that bringing him on today probably cost us at least a goal

    Yeah, but he’s talking about you. You’ve rumbled we’re already down and Gino is gunning for you.

    If that was true, then the full sentence would have been "he's got to go and get HB1, he's the only one who can save us now".

    I think that's correct, the guy sat on his right even nodded his head in agreement. They were all there tonight - they all saw it.

    That guy is Giraldi, who should be sharing Flores' taxi.

    We won the hearts of the nation with a battling display against a far superior team.

    Yes I don't know why Doucoure didn't shoot. That was a key moment.

    I don't agree. Chalobah and Capoue cost us our goals.

    Doucoure's brain seemed to turn into pudding this evening. Did he do anything right all game?

    He’s a ****. Apart from one moment when he took on a couple of players he then just jogged around trying to stay away from the ball.

    This is a Rubicon moment for Gino and therefore all of us.
    Until the semi final win Gino had taken us on an upward curve,relegation was never really likely in our PL seasons. We had always started seasons well, until this one.
    It is clear to all but a small hen in its late 40s and Colin the dachshund that we are going down. The return of QSF now looks like a panic appointment,especially given the gap between Javi's leaving and QSF's return. Most agree Gracia had to go but Quiche hasn't worked and now he will surely be fired.

    I have sympathy for both coaches as they have had an imbalanced squad and more to the point a squad that is not fit for a scrap. Players like GD,RP and AD flourish in a winning team. All would no doubt prosper at Wolves or Leicester where they could play with freedom,although I doubt AD is technically proficient enough.It's no surprise a top six team hasn't bought him. Great athlete,average technician.
    I would sell all of the above in January. We will not stay up and funds and budgets need to be realigned.
    Play Quina and Freddie. Bring back Wilmot and play him too,with CK and or another,Kafka or Les.
    Sell Gray and a few others if possible and give the job to Austin or another young coach who can galvanise and organise.
    Do not appoint another journeyman Spaniard or Italian.
    If Gino gets it right we can return.
    Get it wrong and we could be back where we were with TRH.
    This is a huge decision for the owner.
    He has to get it right or all the great work will turn to dust.

    No Gray did not make a direct mistake that cost us a goal but we had no link between midfield and attack once he was brought on, he is unable to hold onto the ball and we invited too much pressure onto ourselves because of it. We were always likely to concede because of it. If the ball spends more time in their half, as opposed to ours, then our team wont keep conceding goal scoring opportunities to the opposition players. So I take it you are pleased with our approach to the second half?

    Gray has scored two goals for us and is the only striker to score for us in the Premier League this season which tells us how poor our striking options are because the rest of his game is league 2 level.
