Stats say it was the most boring game all season and I would agree, absolute painful watch but then playing with 10 men (Redmond) puts us at a disadvantage. Ralph really has no answers.

We badly miss what KWP brings both to the defence and attack. No threat from either of the full backs on either flanks. We didn’t turn up for 30 minutes but gradually played our way into the game and probably deserved a draw at the end but only one shot on goal and we look clueless in the final third. With players coming back this week we should beat the Blades but let’s hope the injury to Moussa isn’t too bad. He was my MotM for the second time running.

Couldn't agree more. Awful game, created nothing, 1 shot on target is woeful. Bednarek is not a RB. As for Redmond, yet again he contributes absolutely nothing. I despair, how does Ralph keep him on the pitch for 87 min is beyond me. Just hope Djenepo wasn't injured at the end. If we can't create chances then we have major problems. Play a couple of the youngsters, it can't be any worse. Tella is worth a run in the team, offers so much more than Redmond.

Redmond has to be dropped for the next game he always pulls out of 50/50 tackles and he gave the ball away all night. Ramsay should have started at right back because Bednarek cant play there. Why are we so slow building up and why do we keep passing backwards?

Feeling numb to the results over the past month. Feels like we're plodding from one defeat after another. Everton turned up today, were not spectacular, they were not tested for 80 minutes and eased to 3 pts.

Not sure where the next goal is coming from never mind points.

Just fed up and deflated with the monotony and predictable nature of the last 6 weeks or so.

I realize that football support is a marathon not a sprint but right now I feel like the opportunities to turn the corner are fewer with each game and with each game the pressure increases. Can Ralph get the team out of the malaise or is the damage too ingrained?

Well all those Forster fans got what they wanted! Don’t see why he was in goal and certainly hope that McCarthy is back in it for Sheffield United as he was blatantly at fault for their goal getting caught flat footed! I mean in the end I’d say it all rests on that game as if we lost to Sheffield United who’re basically relegated now, as if we loose that, it’ll be 1 win in 15 games or 1 point in 10 games!

Bad when you want your own player injured! Not seriously, just to the end of his contract. If "he" keeps getting picked you're going to need a 0 in the player ratings Nick. That guy Souness signed was far superior!
If we didn't have Stuey we'd have nothing!

Although not a great performance, we battled well for the most part. Went down to a very good goal.

We competed well and I'm hoping this is a step on the way to a recovery.

Everton seemed to go down if the wind hit them. Salisu showed he has a bit to learn about playing as CB in the PL.

Agree with the comments that we look lost in the final third. We seem to snatch at everything. Ings seems desperate to make something happen, to the point of even crowding out his own team at times.

Redmond once again seems to come in for some criticism. I don't see singling him out as being justified. He does need to bulk up though, gets pushed off the ball a bit too easily. He makes some good direct runs just no one there as usual to cross to.

Djenepo once again MOTM for me. Some superb tackles. Ran his heart out. Our new right back!

Hopefully a performance we can build on.

ElijahK. Clearly know nothing about goal keeping. Nothing he could have done, laid bare by the defence, a goal the moment the through ball was played.
Still far superior to McCarthy, a back-up keeper at best as demonstrated by his entire career
