I don't care what people say about the quality of the opposition we've played so far our performances have been shocking and I, for one, am beginning to accept that we are more than likely to go down again this season.

That actually shows why Joselu shouldnt be on that pitch, Clark can put away the exact same chance with 10x more composure than Joselu. Our 4th choice CB is more composed at finishing than our seemingly first choice striker, complete joke.

I'll break that trend by betting on us to lose 1-2 in our next home game. That will make us lose by 2.

I must admit my overall feeling of this season so far is one of pure boredom. The games have all been dull to watch, the off the pitch stuff is embarrassing and boring in equal measure. I'm bored of the entire football club, it's not even like I'm annoyed, I'm just finding my interest in us dwindling by the week.

I'm excited for the boxing tonight, and the NFL tomorrow, but I feel like I'm watching us out of habit more than anything now. Nothing will change until Ashley leaves so it's pointless getting in a flap about it, if we get relegated so be it. That's the point I'm at.

There's nothing to get anyone excited. Rafa is only doing what he can with what he's got, which admittedly isn't much.

To be absolutely clear I'm not in the tiny Rafa oot brigade (as opposed to the Tiny Rafa oot brigade who really hate Tiny Rafa), but is he really doing that?

His subs as ever were baffling today. As I said prematch I really feel for Murphy who is low on confidence but constantly being stuck at left wing. An hour in Ritchie was blatantly knackered and not having a great game, but instead of pulling him for Kenedy and moving Murphy over (who had been chasing every possible lost cause all game) he took Murphy off in one of his lazy like for like changes. Ten minutes later he wants Muto on, tries to take Perez off only for Ritchie to clearly ask to be subbed instead, leaving Perez as our right winger. Is this the famous attention to detail we're supposed to be getting?

Add to that Rondon (the striker who "fits his system") not getting a single minute, while Yedlin who had near identical long haul flights played 90. Baffling.
