It was like Come Dancing, one foot forward, three steps back.

Agree with that - there wasn’t enough penetration to get forward. But the quality of pass and control was brilliant to see. So many excellent moves in triangles - just not far enough up the pitch. Good point, stay positive [emoji106]

Way too much negativity on here. We’ve just got to St James’ Park and got a point against Newcastle bloody United! If that was last season we’d have been over the moon! People need to appreciate where we are - it’s a long game if we’re going to build a squad to really compete in this league!!!!!

Absolutely brilliant once touch passing at times today. Certainly something we’ve improved in this season. The only negative to that is we don’t do enough of it in the final third. Certainly picked up more second balls than them which was excellent to see and Stephens & Proper really did play well.

Keep the faith and keep that points tally ticking along...

Same old same old. It’s supposed to be entertainment featuring GOALS and yet we don’t even shoot let alone witness GOALS. Spare me the long term bolllcks, that doesn’t exist in football. It’s now or tomorrow. We need to score GOALS to stop ourselves dying from boredom let alone stay up. We’re just so incredibly DULL. And I for one am not going to sit back all content because we simply prevented another team from scoring. GOALS. I want to see some ****ing GOALS from my team. Yet not one player, let alone two or three, in a professional squad of ‘elite’ players can do this. It’s nothing short of embarrassing. And boring as hell to watch. No other team is as predictable as us. If you’re a gambler (I’m not) the you should be living in a Manor House by now it’s so easy. You need shooting if you’ve not cleaned up recently. Get all your money and stick it on Brighton & Nil Albion.

Your final sentence is the key l think. Just keep picking up the points. If we can't win a game, let's make sure we get something from it. Do that for the remainder of the season, and we should be fine.

Rant over? I for one, am more than happy to be bored stupid by negative football, and they can even board up the goals as far as l'm concerned, just as long as it leads to one thing . . . Premier League survival. Did anyone really expect us to score a lot of goals this season? I certainly didn't.

Why are your expectations so boringly low? One goal a game isn’t too much to ask for is it? We hardly score one goal every solstice let alone that. No ones saying we expected them to be flying in, 2 or 3 every half. I’m not even talking about winning, But month after month we see ZERO. NIL. ZIP. NIEN. THE SUM OF NOTHING. Why is that so acceptable? Not a problem to observe and comment about? From a squad of professionals being paid eye watering amounts? Wheres the glory gone, Christ no wonder the games run by accountants when so many dullards are prepared to pay good money and boast about how great life is being 4 points off the drop and having seen one goal from however many matches it is now.

Watched a stream. We just don’t look confident in front of goal, so many sideways passes instead of having a go. The trouble is that if you do have a go and miss, the other players will say that you should’ve passed to them. Confidence levels need to be better to help with this issue.

Maybe we were all spoilt last season, ( and the previous one), when we were playing some wonderful counter attacking football, and the goals were flowing. If we tried to recreate those tactics in the Premier League, we would get buried. Yes l know that the football we are playing now is boring, yes l know it's negative. But to me at least, if it gets us over the line, even if it's in seventeenth place, then it's all been worth it.

If we can achieve Premier League survival come the end of the season, then l think it's an even bigger achievement, than winning promotion last term. Once we have got our foot in the door so to speak, and we begin to get used to playing there, l think we will see our tactics then l think our tactics slowly change, and we will play with a bit more freedom.
