There are errors in almost every game and somebody needs to get to the root of the problem why we leak so many goals - constantly!!! The press were quick to say Ben Foster has helped Watford pick up 10 points so good luck to him. How many points have we lost due to Johnstone - not the odd match but many!

When have we dominated away ( Rotherham ) the exception? The same thing can't be said about Norwich or Leeds!

Lets see what Stoke brings but not hopeful and I certainly hope we beat Brighton to progress and to avoid the Vile at the moment, as fear they too will beat us. Remember, they were superior at our place.

On the positives, I think Harper has been brilliant and hope we stick with him, and do feel Field should be given more game time too, as he will be come another one for the future.

I hope he plays a strong side on Weds and we beat Brighton as having games in hand could be an advantage if the three players coming in can gel - if given the opportunity!
Dfferences of opinion are fine and healthy, and everyone is more than entitled to theirs. I just think the criticism DM gets is a little unfair. There isn't a better alternative to him in my opinion and given what he inherited he's actually got a great record for a 1st job in management.

I don't think many sides dominate for 90 minutes away from home, even when Premier league teams play Championship sides away in the cup they struggle, look at Everton at Millwall as one example. I thought we were the much better side at Sheff Utd. And I think Villa are a bit hit and miss right now, we played them when they were in form and top of their game.

Agree with Field and Harper. But I think he should play a 2nd string in the cup. I can't see us winning the FA Cup and there's no point us risking losing points in the league for a 1/4 or 1/2 final cup run.
