Relegation

[davek]

Several of our wins have been due to adrenlin and the crowd pushing them over the line that can only work for so long and to be honest I think they have already hit a wall with nothing left to give.

Spot on.

We're done here this season.

Let's just see if Leeds AND Burnley can go past us.

 

[PhilEFC]

It’s a disgrace that we are needing to win our second to last game of the season to stay in the league.

I can’t see us beating Palace.

 

[BlueToff]

We were sucked up front looking for a second when we should have been protecting what we had.

You just need a goal to win a game.

It was the 19th minute tbf and we should have had the penalty. I don't think we were being reckless. But maybe a player like Delph would have been on hand to direct Branthwaite to stay deeper. That mistake is all on him, though.

 

[Joey66]

Having no centre backs on the bench to bring on didn’t help to be honest.

We did Welch

5 at the back against Watford really was a shocker.

If we'd have been as cautious today after taking the lead we'd be safe now.

Nothing wrong with being cautious in this position, not when other teams trail us by points and have to go by us.

Way too cavalier Lampard there today.

Soon as that first goal went in we should have been right behind the ball again. We're not that good we can destroy a team like Brentford by a couple or three goals at this point.

IMO Lampard threw caution to the wind today when we had this game sewn up.

let's see, it's one more push

We need a German doctor to get Mina & Delph on the pitch on Thursday!!!

Dr. Josef Mengele would be my choice.

 

[Streetender1878]

Mad the amount of decisions that have gone against us since they had to apologise after the man city game isnt it. Brentford dont beat us today without their fair share either. 11 vs 11 we were way the better team. Hopefully allan or delph are fit for palace. Another great atmosphere today. Well done everybody. We need another for a night match at Goodison. Keep your heads up blues.
UTFT.

We had a fair few chances early on to score. If we’d have scored a second, we could have put the game to bed.

 

[Chegsy]

Last home game of the season. We just need to give it absolutely everything in the stands. We will have to as we lack quality and any real leadership on the pitch.

 

[BlueToff]

Well since Dave's said we don't have a chance against Palace, and he is famously wrong about 99/100 things, then I'm now quietly confident

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

As horrible as that was today, our destiny is still in our own hands

Win Vs palace or get two draws and we stay up

One more cup final to go

 

[BlueToff]

and we should have had the chance to from a penalty that should have been given, but wasn't, and in the same move the moment that changed the game happened.

Yes, but why take the chance when you dont have to?

We did take that chance and got caught on a counter attack and the match turned on it.

 

[Mr K.Dilkington]

That's not 11 is it?

We had someone sent off after 20 mins Dave, I don't think we're allowed to sub a new guy on for a red card ?
