Well if they don't the bottle job part 2 is on!

....But
Brentford, Wednesday, Forest, Fulham, Bristol City, Preston, and Millwall all gained points on us!

I know! I did ask if it was a bright side!:s

The worry now is just how much damage todays result will do long term bearing in mind all the players we have (apart from 1 or 2) played a big part in last seasons collapse/bottle job.

Telling you all right now..get ready for the complete collapse part 2..they were there for the taking today and if you can't beat bang average teams like the wendies in a packed out ER then you deserve f*ck all!

Its just bizarre / pathetic, that club of our stature, gets into this position of insufficient squad / back up players. Every club gets injuries etc, but to only have one real, fit striker, & zero options, considering our so called " ambition " to get promotion, is baffling.
Again against a more physical / direct team, we again got overrun - may not be MB"s way, but plan B in players / tactics needed.

And Casilla needs to go. Been saying it for weeks - he is going to cost us and has cost us points, just as he cost us the play-offs in May.

The match against Arsenal should have given them a boost.
It should have given them the aspiration to want to play that kind of quality every week.
Instead, how did they react???
Wakners the lot of them.

Pierre Smirnoff , where are you.

Pierre Smirnoff?

Is that a new striker we are after?

Hope he can score goals.....

Time to give the young lad from France a run at Keep.

I could have stopped that first goal. He's just not good enough for English football.

time to splash some big cash for a real striker. the board's going to have to look at it as if we don't we won't go up and they will lose everything including MB, Phillips, White, Harrison and Ayling. sometimes to have to spend money to make money.

our passing was very poor today. likely anyone in the league would have drawn or beaten us. Fair play to SW. They let us miss our chances in the first half and beat us the second.

QPR away next Saturday..lose that and that massive lead we had is down to 3 points.

Nevermind I am sure the lads can handle it O:)

You've hit the nail on the head there. It would not be just losing promotion this year, it would be catastrophic for the club and everything that's been built under Bielsa.

Someone said it a few weeks ago when this run started - we'd go back 10 years.
