Nail and head Clive - For me it's now an amber warning light on the dashboard.
We look a mess in midfield and have done all season. Powderpuff are the exact words we described the team on the tube home.
Hull weren't anything special but they were strong, fit and organised which are the basics we are falling short on.
Starting to worry now about JCS and his injuries especially after signing his new contract. I'm praying we haven't fallen for the old Matthew Rose three card trick again.
We are starting to look like Beal's team in his last five games playing a system that has been worked out by the opposition and not being able to change it with a Plan B.
We have been pretty poor all season thus far so we need to change and quickly. We are very easy to play against and lack aggression in many areas.
Our workrate and shape without the ball is very poor.
Dunne needs to go back to right back to give us that out ball and we desperately need JCS and Colback back in the team.
BTW Clive the cup draws in our house are exactly the same as each team is drawn out the kids and I all shout at the TV - yes that would be good or no we dont want them.
Thanks Clive - Spot on with your analysis again - When we saw the team in the pub we were all happy "plenty of goals with that forward line" we all said.
For some reason it just did not click in the final third. Quite right to praise Millwall they came with a plan and executed it perfectly and probably deserved to win. By heck I have seen us lose plenty of games like this over the years.
Patience is definitely the key word here - We are now 14th which is exactly the position I predicted at the start of the season and I've not seen anything to change that yet. However we definitely have better quality and attitude in the team compared to 12 months ago so who knows.
Personally I was happy with the starting 11 and our performance overall. We contained Palace in the first half yes we could of stepped onto them a bit more but at the risk of them picking us off early and the game being over by half time. We only conceded by switching off at a set piece. Second half we did up the tempo and the tactical change with Dembele coming on made a differance. We scored but then conceded (via a deflection) during a good spell from us. I also thought we finished the game well and came within a whisker of taking the game to penalties.
No complaints from me the squad is coming together nicely with everyone playing for the badge. Look where we were 12 months ago. Still a big work in progress but giving an established Premier League team a bloody good game and a scare is no mean feat and all part of the process.
I think it's very unusual to get a masterclass 90 minutes especially at this level. Most opposition teams will have good periods in matches as there is not loads in it between the top teams and bottom teams in the Championship.
