[Stephen Paul]

Another good line up

3 points required blues

[Stephen Paul]

Pretty much even at the moment

Worrying

[Stephen Paul]

Haaland

[gavin]

Not very convincing at all. We need to come out second half and go for it. We can't go into last ten only one up.

[Stephen Paul]

Jesus , here we go again

[KunDB]

Give a goal away when we were totally controlling the game.

Fell apart after their goal.

Sound familiar.

Just not good enough in the last actions.

[Hesperus]

Bad run this. Very poor tonight.

We need some better players. We've recruited average for too long hoping they'll turn out good. Doubt it's going to happen though.

Could be a very tough January.

[gavin]

We are incredibly mediocre.

[KunDB]

We are incredibly mediocre.

How many other teams would not be adversely affected by 8-9 first team injuries, decimating the core spine of the team. We should accept the three draws they could easily have been three defeats.

This stands in first team needs time to gel together and learn.

One thing they need to learn, including even Cherki, forget the fancy flicked and tricks, win the game first and foremost.

Doesn't help that Haaland has hit a rare flat spot.

A massive congratulations to our centre backs who will, especially Max. Khusanov stop the slide tackles, going to ground will eventually end in tears.
