No new manager bounce for us then.

nope

Can I say what I’ve said for at least 2 seasons
Absolutely shocking crosses or poor faffing about that didn’t even result in a cross

Maybe we needed Phillips 68

[boingy]

Well. Commentator says “it’s a good sign that Andy Carrol has lasted a full 90 minutes”.
That’s the best we can hope for is it?

[boinggazmic]

What a state we’re in. Mid table at best it seems. What’s Daniel dichio up to these days. Him and carol up top

How are we going to win football matches when we continually go down to ten men and usually in the first half. This cannot continue. Livermore is captain for God's sake. Where's his sense of responsibility? Steve Bruce has got a real task on his hands and to be honest I can't see us playing anything but Championship football next season. We are now ninth with most of those around us with games in hand.

We did appear to try and play football but again an absolute 'sitter' missed by Diangana If that had gone in, which it should have, it would have been a different game. Then, of course, with ten men, game over!

I'd put money on the fact that Livermore has more red cards for us than man of the match awards. How many times will managers put up with this from him? He's costing us points season after season. Put him out to pasture!

TGH should be given a run in the team, an upcoming talent, can only get better, already better than Furlong or Reach.

[Barrera]

Thought we looked good first 20 mins .... their first goal completely against the run if play. But Livermore getting sent off for a reckless challenge .... what the hell was he thinking ..... end of game. You can’t win many matches playing with 10 men for 50 minutes from a goal down. We must have the worst disciplinary record in all four divisions ... yet we are not a particularly -physical/dirty team. There is something badly wrong somewhere.

Bruce has a big job on his hands sorting this mess out. It’s clear Val should have gone two months ago. And as for Lai ... the sooner he goes the better.

Didn't see the first half because the red button didn't work but during the time I was able to watch, I was suitably impressed with Andy Carroll. At last we had someone who was winning the majority of balls in the air and giving the centre backs a hard time. If we could muster up someone to play off of him, then we may have a chance of scraping into the play offs. Dare I say it, but a player like HRK springs to mind. Robinson, Diangana and Grant are far too lightweight and do not contribute enough for my liking. A strong robust centre forward is what we have missed in recent years so let's try to make the most of Carroll before he spends time on the table!

I totally agree with your post Tipp except for grant I thought he did a load of graft but always to deep to be affected, we desperately need some creativity then we will score even with what we have but we need to create chances & we ain't, just hopefull crosses in to the box & these stupid long throws which cause no trouble for opposition 6 feet plus defenders week in week out ,
