Could it be something to do with baffling tactics from Partridge? Perhaps poor judgement and Leadership from Partridge? Odd team formations from Partridge?
....... are we going to surrender leads and end up either losing or drawing a game? It's got to the stage now where you have to come to the conclusion that it's a mental problem. We weren't brilliant today but we were decent enough but yet again we end up losing. By the law of averages you'd think that we'd manage to hold on at some time. It's so depressing!

I think you're right Chris, most of us fans just want this season to end. I know that I do. We've experienced relegation in the past but to my mind this season is somehow different. Possibly because we weren't really expecting it when the season started and that the squad was thought good enough to hold its own. I still honestly believe that we should not be in this position but have to face the truth, we are. I also agree, I don't think that the atmosphere will be toxic against Burnley. As you say, we've come to accept our fate and let's show more dignity than West Ham fans did in their last home game.
As many players that we are going to lose when we drop, If I had a say in the matter those players would be playing reserve team football now and give some of our younger players a good bit of higher class football, because they are going to need it next season.
Let's not sit on our backsides forever...get out there and do something now.
Remember this team stopped playing for Pulis and never started playing for Pardew. It was the players all along. Mentality of a shrimp.
Fletcher has been a big miss, on and off the pitch even when he was off form he organised on the pitch.He spotted what was going wrong.
