Much improved. The basics were there, desire, work ethic and organisation. Shame we conceded yet another set piece, they must be working on it surely as every ma and his dog recognizes we are pants at them. Enjoyed the 3 in midfield, think that's something to take forward with Rico, dcl and a rw on the flanks. JJK was immense tonight, easily motm for me. Definitely more positives than negatives after the recent performances.

Relegation battle more likely.
He's not going anywhere and even if he did, it wouldn't sort our set-pieces out..
These PLAYERS cannot defend set plays. It's not all on the manager. We are consistently seeing the same mistakes from the PLAYERS. Zouma - who was actually good tonight - especially. He's dreadful at marking.
Look, blame the manager all we want. This squad is bang average. It proved it that that was our best display in a while but we actually never troubled City's goal.

Forgot to mention that I thought DCL was really giving it horns, also up there with the other good performances

Davies was brilliant as well tonight. Dcl pur in a good shift and pestered the CBS which is more than we've seen of late.

Fine with that.
The season is all about beating the RS in a few weeks.
Get to the summer and then the serious inquest begins.

We are working on them. Definitely.
Our players are just crap at defending them. Blaming the system goes so far. Again, that wasn't owt to do with zonal tonight, it was Zouma falling asleep.

Much better, competed every ball and looked lot more organised, caveat free kick. Tom or Jonjoe man of the match. Tom for me considering his role and delightful passess and running on, proper player developing, but any other day Jonjoe would have it.

I thought Keane was even worse on the goal; just standing there
This game will be forgotten quickly
Back into the frying pan for Silva at Watford.

Anyway, we at least put in a spirited display and, all jokes aside, anyone remotely arsed about us losing tonight needs to give their head a shake.
We are where we are. An average manager who sometimes is really bad and sometimes is decent. And the same goes for every player we have.
We saw a system today that can work, and at least some heart and desire. That must continue now.
I didn't want to win. I know that might not sound 'troo bloo', but screw it. And if we were gonna lose, I'd rather us lose going down with at least some commitment.

Well yeh, players have to do better too. But we shouldn't have a panic attack everytime we concede a corner or set piece.
