The amount of 60/40 balls we come off 2nd best in, is ridiculous. 2 alone for their 2nd goal.

With each announcent that player X has left the club this summer, my mood will lift slightly. There's not a single player in this squad that I hope stays.

Fallen Premier League champion with State-of-the-art facilties. Somebody must be interested... Somebody...

I think we'll buy him to immediately sell him, personally. If the rumoured purchase option is correct, we could make a quick £6m profit maybe.

Missed the other Nigerian striker we had, the "English" midfielder and winger, as neither actually represent England.

Not like this lot to fly off on one, is it? Wasn't the worst penalty ever, keeper guessed right. But, the only good penalties are the ones that go in.

Stunning half so far.

I'd be interested to know if you had this feeling during the great escape? If so, when did you change your mind??

Tuesday wasn't important? Points away at promotion chasing teams not important. No, we aren't going to go on a 5 game winning run, we're crap. We are capable of winning every game we have remaining, we are also capable of losing them all, that's not inevitable. It's just tiresome seeing a fan base, after every loss claiming "that's it" we're as mentally fragile as the players.

Explain then, how it's inevitable we go down?? "we're sh!t" so is everyone around us. "we have no fight" same arguments being had on the Rovers and WBA forums until today. We might go down, we might be 6 points clear come 6th April.

So it's inevitable?

Bore off! We're as capable of winning games as the likes of Oxford, WBA and Portsmouth hence the points tally. It's sh!t, we're sh!t, but so is everybody up to about 10th in this league. We might go down, but I'm struggling to see inevitability in it when there's 1 result separating 4 teams and a 6 pointer at Blackburn to come.

I've never been to the Copperjax, in all fairness. There's always that...

Same moaning pre-match as Tuesday, its more tiresome than actually seeing the lineup. He took out the worst performing player, and put in a decent youngster, give it a rest.

What signs would there be that a win is coming? Playing well and not winning?? If so, then the second half at Stoke was a good indicator, if not the Boro game. We just got beat by the most in form team in the division, this place is hysterical at times. We probably won't get anything at Ipswich, but then should be looking at a run of fixtures where we can pick up a few wins.

At this point, how can we possibly persist with playing him (or Ayew) up front ahead of ANYBODY else. They offer NOTHING, try something else, it can't be worse than nothing.

I had said this too. With the midfield 3 looking settled and playing well, you bring JJ in for Daka and get your best players on the pitch, with 2 #10's probably. Yes, I know this doesn't work all the time, but there is such a quality drop off between our technically better players and the likes of Daka, Okoli etc.

Dom Ballard, whichever league we're in.

As was pointed out in the JJ thread, you play JJ as an 8 and nothing else. You drop 1 of our better performing midfielders and persevere with our dog muck strikers that offer absolutely nothing.

Do you think West Brom or Oxford are winning half their remaining games?

I suggested this a few days ago and was laughed at. Striker is the most ineffective position we have at the moment. Having a false 9 or 2 10's would probably be more useful. Or at worst, equally as effective as our current options.

Headache when JJ returns

Colour me shocked.

Has he hurt his back?

Are they wildly different ideas? This thread is generally discussing the idea of playing anybody else but Daka or Ayew upfront or in a false 9. I still maintain that a midfield and attack of: Skipp, Winks, Mavididi, Fatawu, JJ and Mukasa Would be better than persisting with a striker that just gets the nod because "he plays there"
