    If you watch the chance again you will see that the ball across the goal wasn't a fast one which enabled the defender to get the block in. I agree he's not a lone striker. However Pereyra offered him no help.

    I agree. Doucoure and Delefoo put a serious shift in.

    You've not seen much of us then. We are the real deal. Like the Ipwich/Derby, single figures total type ****.

    We are going down and we will be bottom. Norwich may well come with us but they will be above us.

    He's wasted in the holding midfield role then. I thought he was ineffective with Chalobah which was key to us getting over run. Chalobah might have msde him look ok. But he wasn't.

    Unfortunately we don't have the luxury of "free swings" this season. We have spurned all our winnable games so we have to start picking up some points we might not normally expect, if we're to have any hope, which we don't.

    Chalobah was utterly useless today. He was walking across the pitch as if he were taking his dog out for a bit of fresh air.

    We are officially ---

    Worse than Huddersfield were at this point last season.

    Just Derby to beat now in terms of points. Anything less than 11 come May will do it.

    Amazingly, 10 teams have started a PL season worse than us. Includes Fulham last season (on GD) and Palace the year before. Only 4 of the 10 stayed up.

    I'm starting 'The Moog Chicken Club' every match day so all the over-reactors on here get to go to Nandos & moan together.

    It was excellent. Charlie Stemp was excelsior as Bert and whilst no Julie Andrews, Zizi Strallen was a better Mary Poppins than Emily Blunt.

    I didn't know until the end that Petula Clark was the bird lady.

    The plot was a bit mixed up from the film, but it worked and my kids loved it. The staging was outstanding with inventive use of special effects and flying wires as well as inventive lighting and projection.

    9/10

    The amazing part is that any have stayed up.

    In line with moog above, I'm surprised it's that many - it actually doesn't sound so bad in the context you put it in of 4 out of 10.

    Palace x 2 are the only team to achieve it this century.

    I ignored Portsmouth, whose start to a season is better than ours.

    I quite enjoyed the last 15 minutes including the VAR comedy. Before that? Very poor. So many poor passes and Chalobah was horrendous.

    felt sorry for Gray. What is he supposed to do in this formation with such negative tactics.

    As for Flores. What an awful limited negative manager. Losing 2-0 at home and uses his last sub for a like for like Kiko for Janmaat. Can not stand his philosophy.

    Did someone throw their own shoe from the top tier of the GT stand after a dodgy ref decision!?? I though I saw it but maybe my eyes deceived!

    Probably all of those 4 changed manager and he turned it around. We already tried that

    That shoe would do a better job than Andre Gray up front

    a valiant effort to get all three points. How I miss that.

    Masina better not be dropped against Norwich. So much better than Holebas.

    Had a great game today.

    Doucoure and Deulofeu the only ones to come away with anything positive about them.

    The rest were just toilet.

    If the Pozzo’s are serious about us staying up then a massive amount of investment needs to take place in January. Our only chance of survival is if we are still within touching distance come Christmas. If not then, no point in investing.

    I will say this though. If we go down, we need a progressive forward thinking manager with all our young talent (25 and under).

    Bachmann, Dahlberg, Masina, Hughes, Chalobah, Quina, Pedro, Penaranda, Cucho, Wilmot, Sarr and Dele-Bashiru. Chuck in Dalby, Forster, Hungbo, Wise and Cassidy who should be pushing the first team.

    If the only way that we'll have a manager who wants to play these players regularly is to get relegated, I'll take it.

    Positives:

    1. Delefeou really looked as if he cared. Chased down the ball and harried so much, definitely not lazy as some have claimed. He loses the ball at times but it’s partly because he doesn’t really have much option other than to go it alone.

    2. Doucoure not in great form but he seemed up for it and always seems to seek out the ball and make himself available.

    Negatives

    1. QSF. I don’t like the formation but his substitutions and bench are inexplicable. I don’t subscribe to the view on here that Janmaat is way better than Femenia but what was the point of swapping a right back for a right back when we’re supposedly chasing the game? Why have Success on the bench if you can’t bring him on when we are chasing the game? Why not swap one of you 3 mediocre centre backs to chase the game? I miss Javi - at least at times we attacked when he was manager.

    2. Pereya - I’ve always defended him previously but he hid away and was poor. Sell him toTorino in January. He’s not up for it.

    3. Gray - it’s all been said before. I’d rather play a youth striker.

    4. Chalobah - I desperately want him to come back strong but he’s no where near the player he was from the very early halcyon snakey days. Makes me even sadder.

    I stayed until Femenia came on when half the Rookery started booing. I can do without it so retired to the pub instead.

    Exactly this.

    Wrong formation, we needed 3 in CM. Playing it long to Gray was too easy for them, he simply doesn’t have the strength, touch or pace for this level.

    It was one of the poorest displays I’ve witnessed

    Literally played the game with 10 men considering how utterly useless Andre Gray was.

    All these amateur coaches on here without a 'badge' between them.

    A hugely false scoreline. But for Foster it should have been 5 or 6. We fought for about 10 minutes of the 90 and made it far too easy for Chelsea. A 2nd gear performance against our 1st gear side.

    Every goal we concede seems to be identical. Low cross from our left hand side. Hell, even Swansea figured that out and scored easily against us.

    Based on the performance of the professional coaches, earning millions to ruin our club, I'd say that the badges are of as much value as they are to a Mexican bandit impersonating a policeman in the treasure of the Sierra madre.
