From what I saw we were our normal selve's i.e. not sure what our game plan was, expecting our skillful players to magic up something and score but all too often this season to quote Adrian Chiles from many months back, "we are like the Harlem globetrotters" but without the victories.
Now my words, A lot of fancy play but NO STEEL.
Slaven Bilic should have been reading the riot act to the players following their last 2 games so they went out on fire, but unfortunately the type of player we have now are laid back, like to try to use their skill, but fail time and time again.
We are slow to attack, we're playing long balls quite early and I feared for us from early on.
I didn't see the 2nd half so can't comment but heard the radio for the last 15 minutes when they scored.
Its still not over and lady luck may smile on us, but it has shown that we really are not what we ought to have been.
I will watch the Brentford match tomorrow and pray we get another chance for Auto promotion.
Youre right - its not all over yet, Lets see how Brentford perform with a little pressure for the first time this season, Stoke at home won't be a roll over job, they are similar to Huddersfield in that they are now in the last gasp saloon and need to get at least a [oint to stay up.
The fat lady has cleared her throat....but she's not singing yet.

Fingers crossed for you.
