It depends on the nature of the loss.

We should go to win, but that's clearly not the way these days.

If we have basically the same team that stared against spuds, I would be fecking furious.

Only enforced change is what I'm expecting, and a ****ing pasting, with just enough in the last ten minutes to give pundits/ CH something to enthuse about.

I saw enough of that in the 90's, albeit at a part timer quality.

Not worried or bothered yet, it's not my job, but having spent ****ing millions I'll be mightily disappointed if the season continues as it appears to be heading.

I'd use the game against Man City to make some changes to the side.

Balogun for Dunk
Berndado for Bong
AJ for March
Locadia for Bissouma

And then play 4-4-2

As long as we don’t concede too many I’ll be happy.[/QUOTE


Really? That is what you expect from our time in this division, not to concede too many?

What is the point in being in this division if we don't think we can win every game we play in? That should be the base line.

Against spuds yesterday the first half, we let them slot into their game by just playing the one up front and signalled that we would pack the midfielder and let them come at us. That really paid off didn't it...irrespective how many chances we missed ...the scoresheet showed that we lost all three points.

I am not worried yet, but apart from manu in the first half, I have not been over impressed by our football this season.

I hope to be wrong in my assumption that the three teams that will drop out are Huddersfield, Newcastle and us.

I’d keep Bissouma, but otherwise in agreement.

I think we should burst out of the traps and give it everything we've got. I think Mr Hooton should just say "go out there, enjoy your football, play the way YOU want to play and whilst doing so don't forget to kick the crap out of them when the ref isn't looking.."

That will pickle the brain of Lord Peppington of Guardeville who expected our team to line up with trowels and bags of cement, building a wall nine inches in front of our Kangakeeper - and may slow down the "Roadrunner" pace of Citeh.

I also think when they visit the Amex we should let the grass grow to a height of 5.7 inches. That way, Sterling won't be able to see any of the game.

If we lose then I expect [MENTION=5208]drew[/MENTION] will have another massive tantrum and demand Hughton is replaced by the Newcastle vintage era Keegan.

This is 1 game I can understand and a agree with park the bus tactics. Most other games, I would be hoping for a more adventurous approach, at Southampton, and home to an out of form Spurs side for example.
