    That's 4 on the bounce now. I do see us beating Wigan but after that we will limp along until January.

    We need to batten down the hatches until the January reinforcements can come in.

    Its now vital we recruit well.

    After that, things will improve.

    There were more positive signs tonight IMHO.

    Apparently we are one of only a couple of teams to score at Stoke this season.

    Still only 1 clean sheet this season though. That's my biggest concern.

    Best performance we've put on in a while, but there's still a lot of work to be done.

    Small shoots of recovery is how I see it.

    Which is saying something. Hard-working, for the most part, but lacking any sort of quality...



    I'm starting to panic ACS... HELP!

    If we didn't have Mike fcking Williamson, we'd still be in the top half. Simples.

    Have to say I thought Colo was at fault for both goals. Yes we gave possession away on the first but he should have closed it down wide instead of standing off, and yes Willo got monstered for the 2nd but Colo just let the scorer run past him while he ball watched!

    Like you say ACS there some positives to take from that one but I feel ****.

    I'm not so sure we simply started hoofball again as soon as we ent a goal up and its simple we have Williamson in the team and Jonas and Tiote are simply playing the worst football Ive ever see from either of them.

    I dont think we can beat anyone because we have not got the players or a manager that knows how to run the clock down and make the correct subs, Pulis did today and it won them the game.

    Bit better tonight but we went from controlling it to panic stations. Not for the 1st time this season we miss a pass on their box and in about 30 secs it's in the back of our net. Missing too many chances that last year were goals, 2 one on ones tonight could have been crucial because we need goals seeing as our defending is crap.
    Yet another game where Jonas was abysmal.

    2 CZb's are a must, especially with Saylors injury and lack of form too.
    Another creative CM, RB (or LB if Davide switches) and a striker.
    Nothing less than that will do.

    Lost 4 winnable games off the trot. It can hardly get any worse?

    Yes but all williamson needed to do as with the other 3 times was pass it to Krul, however some footballing skill was required - he went down like a puff hoping for a free kick

    Worrying thing is that was our best performance, and it was hardly great.

    I'll say one thing, I had doubts after Southampton that the players were even playing for Pardew anymore, but every player to a man ran their bollocks off for the cause so that's dispelled that one for me.

    Positives are Cisse looked lively, we worked hard and tried to play a little bit of football.

    Negatives are after the first goal we just capitulated and in reality we created zip. I know we had a couple of chances but Ba's was from a block tackle from Tiote and Cisse's which forced the save from Begovic was from a long clearance.

    Set pieces were also no different so Pardew was spouting sh*t when he said we'd come of with a bit of variety regarding them.

    Wigan are going to absolutely massacre us, Pardew's immense lack of imagination and his non existent grasp on tactics are going to completely play straight into the hands of the much more clever Roberto Martinez. 3-1 Wigan.
