Are there positives - from what I heard, Allison pulled off some good saves and kept Liverpool in the match. We did create some chances. We kept the second best team in the league down to 1 goal. Some were predicting 4! A draw would have been a bonus point.

Our recruitment is looking better with Roberts, Collins, Cornet and WW coming in.

Yes we go down this year, but Norwich and WBA have both shown that one does need billions to get promoted.

The team needs rebuilding with the ones passed their best moved on. Have we really missed Chris Wood? The Geordies are not seeing much return on their £25 million to date. We need to use our money wisely - reduce the wages bill by moving on the older, higher paid players, use those savings, plus the parachute payments to identify foreign players with more technical ability
