Another onto the compensation pay off gravy train, bring it on SFC! I would so love to be proved cynical and wrong, and get 2.5 seasons out of this guy with continuity and stability, I crave it. If he is any good and succeeds here then he will get poached eventually.

Which one?

They would stuff us if we drew them either home or away at the moment. Need a bad away draw at a Championship team and the concentrate on the League in 2019 thank you.

He would be even better with Ings for sure!

The only way is up ... unless we lose and Fulham scramble a draw....could be rock bottom Sunday afternoon.

If they score early then we know its game over; if we score first and Cedric is playing then we know we will concede; and how many points now is it we have lost from a winning position? I would love to beat Manure to shove JM's cheap shot at us down his almighty gob, but I just cant see where the goals will come from unless we have a couple of freaky own goals! And Obafemi seems to have caught our srtikers disease immediatley poor chap...

How the hell did he put that over the bar??!!

SSN showing 'highlights' and the goals if any...Bingo bus looking ever more likely next season Skates 1-0 up v Walsall

We should play the team we should play Saturday; go 4-2-3-1, with Stephens, Bednarek, Vestergaard Bertrand; (yes a cpmplete new back four) Romeu and Lemina; Redmond Hojberg Armstrong; with Obafemi up front or Gallager if fit.

No -win - Vember

Interesting piece on MOTD on the role of Mitrovic, holding up play wanting the ball, bringing others in, reminded me of SRL, and GP, why o why have we not bought somenone like that? Baffling and frustrating. As for that third goal, didnt no whether to laugh or cry.

CC former player bound to score soon then....

Surely with a big noisy away following the lads will step up to the plate for this one??

OK in football but not cricket!

No we have to stay up start playing and winning and reengage the fan base. Relegation would be horrific for everyone and if we went down there would be no guarantee another Marcus would appear to bale us out as without doubt Gao would move on and alot of chickens would come home to roost

Unless we get Eddie Howe we aint going anywhere other than Nott Arf Krap next season

No game for Moi, has to be Armstrong what has Jack done wrong? Wont be there, dont know if anyone even wants my ST what a state we are in...

Totally agree written off far too soon

Once City get 3 or 4 nil up they will take their foot of the gas , best to bet on a correct score and turn on media at 94 minutes.

Lambert Fonte Toby Williams

Their second goal was a disgrace as illegal on two counts, Luiz holding PEH and Barkley yards offside, regardless of passage of play. Two Chelsea players should have been booked, for the tackle on Romeu when he was away and the late high challenge just by the technical area.

I think to answer the OP its a lot simpler; the PL now is just so predictable, we all knew as did the team, that we would lose yesterday. So there was no fun or enjoyment in the product as a paying customer, let alone as a committed fan. No wonder so many stayed away. Never been so flat at a home game, don't know if it was the sun in my face all game….

Simply two good guys, Jose Fonte and Ricky Lambert, or at least their current Championship equivalents, two leaders.

OMG even Lawro has predicted a win for us! Scoring two goals….Ings and Hojberg then.

Play for 0-0; park the bus play six at the back, treat it as an away game, may get a point. No point trying to win we will get slaughtered.
