If West Brom win at Fulham next Monday the table may not look pretty.
Four points clear of the bottom three already?

I missed the match but checked my betting account just now and it weirdly ots showing as a lost bet. I assume there's an error with their system so I've emailed them.

I using this season do far on what I’m seeing 5 points from 6 games failing time and again to put away the teams that are in and around us . What is it 4/5 wins in 20/20 not good enough

Learn what? That it is a good idea to put teams away when you are ahead? Not to let them press you after you score? Put the ball in the net rather then pass?
I hate this 'learning' business. Logically, if all teams 'learned' from their mistakes, we would have the sporting equivalent of irresistible force meets immovable object because no-one makes a mistake.
No, the 'learning' Mr P, is that we were crap; sort it.

Worse than that, Sheffield United at the Amex.

That was very disappointing. We were poor through out, even in the first half when we were the better side we looked flat. Second half...ooof. Thoroughly outplayed by west brom. I reckon that was the worst performance of the season. Frustrating it came against as limited a side as West Brom.
Hopefully it's out of our system now and we can get back to playing well next game.

1-0 it’s half time. We are playing well. Looking forward to the second half when we mince them

A 31 year old plodder who’s not good enough to get in the Burnley team? No you’re all right thanks. Dyche has already seen he’s not good enough.
Our centre midfield is much, much better with Bissouma and Alzate. Need to stop the White experiment though, he’s a centre back.

Well actually yes he was a major reason why we didn’t win. Him coming on for Lallana totally turned the game in their favour. That was a terrible decision from Potter, if Lallana had to come off then it should have definitely been for Alzate. Mac Allister next best option.
He looked badly out of his depth last night as he did most of last season.
I loved Gross in his first season for us and he’s a really likeable guy so it makes me sad to see it but he hasn’t looked anywhere near good enough for a while. Whilst he does take a few decent set pieces, they’re just not often enough to overcome his shortfall in ability in open play.

Gross was anything but out of his depth last season as the stats showed and his general performance. Arguably we would have gone down without his contribution.
It’s pretty harsh to blame a substitute for such an inept display, which actually was poor for 90 mins, let’s not kid ourselves about the first half that was pedestrian as well.
Lallana did play well, but I’m not sure Alzate would have made a difference, as a bit lightweight against a physically stronger midfield. Perhaps I would have played MacAllister there, I don’t know.
I actually think the sub that cost us the game was the removal of Solly, as Wet Brom could bomb forward and exploit Burn’s shortcomings,which they did. We also lost natural width.
But if you’re looking for anonymous displays try Maupay, Trossard and Bissouma.
Edit.
Re Gross his days probably are numbered, but played well in the cup, like AJ but with less plaudits..... Lower opposition? Yes, but apparently AJ is now PL ready on that basis.

That was the most disjointed, disorganised and lackadaisical performance we've put in for a while. Best summed up by Lamptey moving to a central forward position when we were trying to get a late winner. Reminded me of a school team - organisation out the window. We've got central defenders playing in midfield and at left back. Our GK doesn't save shots or come for crosses. Of course we missed Dunk, but if there's one position where we have cover, it is there.
Potter's belief that everybody can play anywhere is costing us.
