Sir Awex left a few minutes before the end. Must have been pishing himself. HE will be resting a few prior to far more difficult challenges ahead

"We've never been a free scoring team...." This was the start of his justification for not playing attacking football and scoring goals that he spouted a couple of weeks ago. Actually Gary; it's your job to ensure that as a team we pose a goal threat and score some goals. This is fundamental to winning football matches. This is fundamental to staying in the league. Fulham, Birmingham, Wigan, Reading and Boro are now all posing some sort of threat and will score often enough to win the odd game. Cannot see us winning another game unless something truly amazing happens....

Spot on

The writing's been on the wall for weeks- Megson's usual line about the confidence not being low and the players' effort being great is utter drivel. The evidence is there for all to see. Tactically inept; the same style with three managers; long ball, poor passing and virtually no goal threat. His honeymoon period passed and he's showing his true colours. As for not replacing Anelka, he himself said money was available irrespective of his sale, so most of the additions could still have been made; but he singularly failed to line up a replcement for a guy who's transfer was 'done' weeks before it actually happened- if no replacement could be found then Anelka should not have been sold- and Megson as the manager should have ensured one or the other. The players have clearly lost belief. Perhaps Diouf's replacement is evidence of unrest in the camp? GUTLESS CLUELESS IDLE TECHNICALLY DEFICIENT Alas our initial fears have proved justified

Cheered the rafters off when the deliverance cast scored at Newcastle in the 90th minute. Then cried when Reading did likewise a few miles south!

A stato near me brought details of Megson's entire managerial record- around 150 wins in approx 500 games. In the prem his win ratio is about 1 in 8, with us a little better. Perhaps shouldn't have been appointed, though it's too late now. Confidence is shot; just need some backing from the stands and devine intervention
