I see that Prowsey wasn't much help then. But then he never is. Why he's playing at left back and trying to out jump Haaland I'll never know.

Selles is trying to influence the game with his selections and subs and he's succeeding. Unfortunately in a negative way. Not expecting any more points this season.

Gifted them two easy goals (you'll see similar goals in Sunday league games). Nothing up front. Not a lot in midfield except Lavia.

Looked okay for most of first half but toothless. Played to our obvious strength - speed down the flanks but no one to convert. If only we had a really big target man.

Second half, different story.

I think the board the managers and players all have to take some blame, but also the fans. They moan in social media hating on the managers. RH may not have been the future but if he had been given to the end of the season we would have had more points than we have now.

It's all pretty predictable now, isn't it.

I thought we were pretty good in the first half. We have to accept that Abu Dhabi in their hot pursuit of Arsenal are not going to drop many or even any points until the title is decided. Yes AMN could have moved a bit quicker for the goal but that was a goal made in billionaire's row and was going to happen at some stage. The most obvious thing during that first half was that we were not going to score. Whenever their first goal came that was the end of it and everyone on the pitch knew it.

The fact we rarely look like scoring is a big reason why we are going down - the other is the answer to the question as to why successive managers continue to pick Ely.

The answer to the Ralph worshippers is yes, if Nathan Jones was going to be picked as the successor, we might as well have continued with Ralph - but if NJ was going to be the successor then we could have continued with Mickey Mouse and been better off...

Until we play someone who can actually put the ball in the back of the net instead of leaving them on the bench we are going nowhere.

We set up so defensively regardless of who we are playing, whilst most of the teams around us are playing off the front foot we just Plod. Seriously we have some very good players, with pace and creativity but the either sit on the bench or don't even make the squad. And yet we do the same things with the same players every week and hope it will end differently. Southampton continually sign wingers and then try to turn them into number 10's to fit a system that doesn't work, play two holding midfielders a striker and let the wingers play and the full backs defend!
You cannot tell me that Bournemouth, Everton, Leeds or Palace have a lot better players than us, They are just better coached and tactically used. The fact fans moan on social media is because they are so fed up and frustrated
