Who doesn't get excited by that walk down to SMS on Saturday afternoons full of hope and expectation and those lovely thoughtful meanderings that all things are possible, that we will win the next three games easily and how those nine points will take us safely clear of immediate problems. After all we live only in the present and the past and the future with that awful possibility of a miserable trudge back to the car with all our hopes dashed has yet to be determined. Happy days indeed. Who would ever want to miss that early afternoon thrill of eternal optimism and possibilities.

2-3 for me

How many times has this team promised better times ahead only to revert to type in the very next game. It is so predictable that one wonders why we all cling on to this fantasy that things will tu n out well in the end. We keep doing the same old things in the same old way so why would any of us expect a different outcome. It's odds on we'll disappoint once again especially with the cameras on our backs. I think there will be goals but other than that cannot see beyond a Watford win. Deany is another of the old timer journeymen who seem always to put one over on us like Crouch used to and Barnes still does.

Letting in 9 goals at home is another!

Twit! One poor pass and he gets pilloried by brain dead cretins whist Djenepo misses two open goal sitters but gets barely a mention.

Time to FO Hasenhuttl

FFS

Boufal gets 5 minutes WTF Ralph? He's a wizard on the ball

Long gone

Bioufal gets 5 minuets Whoppee!

You're obsessive mate

No place for Boufal? What are you on Hasenhuttl?

Now then, bury it! Well half bury it

Don't be a twit, Obafemi still should have scored easily

What's the point of having subs on the bench Ralph, FFS use them! 65 mins. Obafemi FFS

You can et help with your addiction you know. Most of us are just enjoying the football match.

Get Romeu & Boufal on before its too late

Phew, this is looking familiar....... what a let off

Shut up Dave!

Just get ward prowse off

Here we go again

Bertrand!

Dave is over excited already, presumably because we are still level

I would think Hasenhuttl is peeing himself as well

Ralph's demeanour at the press conference was very downbeat and he seems almost in despair of how to engineer a recovery from our current plight. It was almost like he was pleading with the hacks for ideas on what to do next. If he really has run out of ideas and hope then for sure we are in trouble. I don't recall in recent times a head coach so seemingly at loss to understand what has to be done to fix things. Maybe he feels that they can't be fixed because the players at his disposal either do not have the guts for a fight or just haven't got it in them to concentrate for 90 minutes and leave everything on the pitch. Elite athletes that can use all their body's resources to maximum advantage and effect are not like most of us who don't have a clue about their body's potential or how to control it and extract the last ounce of brain and muscle power. In most cases footballers are not elite athletes; yes, a few will be but most are just talented and not very bright kids and what they are being asked to do is probably beyond their understanding. It's one thing for a coach to demand this level of effort and concentration form their players but quite another for those players to understand and know how to do that.
