We are where we are. If a referee doesn't have a blonde moment and we score 1 of 2 pens, we're on 29 points and probably not having this discussion. If we don't faff around like a bunch of 8 year olds in and around the penalty box against Palace, we're probably on 30, if not 32. So your if's and...

Well, the bookies across the board all seem to have Sheff Utd, West Brom, Fulham, Newcastle, Burnley ahead of us to go down. Best price for Fulham is 5/6, best price for us is 8/1. That is a huge difference. That is probably because while frustrating for us, we have more points than all of...

He did a great job improving Chelsea’s £800m squad’s goal scoring didn’t he...

Do you actually watch us or just listen on the radio and watch motd? A team with rock bottom confidence doesn’t create 66 chances in 3 games and dominate. That’s a team high in confidence but lacking in one area - finishing. Absolutely no way out performances have been in decline. And despite...

Are you really inventing a narrative of Potter’s behind the scenes relationships with others at the club to further a cause of replacing him?

They don’t actually. All round the pitch players want the ball and are comfortable on it playing without fear. There is a single aspect of our game that we’re low on confidence and that is finishing. Now I’m not a football manager, but however we played, fresh approach or not, I don’t see...
