I thought we were up for it and were the better side the first twenty minutes but, once again, we were let down defensively

Still thought we could come back but no, another sloppy goal and the heads went down

Frank has a mammoth task getting this team to fight and, if he doesn't, we are in real trouble. Luckily for him he has the international break to work on them and hopefully Mina will be ready to come back by then

For us it's another 2 weeks of biting our nails and wondering what's wrong with us.

This season is just about damage limitation now. If we can survive this season sure there will be a mass clear out over the summer and rebuild job.

Feel like we have been living under the 'this summer we will clear out and sort' for a long time.

Reality is we probably can't sort it in one summer, 2 may even be a stretch because we need to mend the financial side of things too.

Selling players we don't want is probably the hardest task in football right now - who would anyone touch out of our over paid cast offs?

The only way we survive this season and next is if Frank sorts out a clear tactical plan, and improves confidence/ spirit.

The caveat to that gibbo is how much we will be able to spend? The next set of financials (20/ 21) are due to be released any day now and won't be good and this years 21/ 22 will be hurt by the loss of USM sponsorship deals

The docking of points is a real possibility.

the problem is, wheres the money coming from for a rebuild, no one will buy the crap that have been playing each week. the youngsters cannot be doing as good as we all want. because they would of been getting a chance. if we don't go down this season, we definetly will next season. incuding that there's ffp. were ****ed.

The scary thing is apart from Mina we had a almost full Team out there and as bw says apart from the first 20 mins they ran rings around us, something has to change if we want to stay up.

{Ed0666's Note - yes Frank needs sacking

Rather have Frank than rafa, Ed.

Pointless sacking him now.

{Ed0666's Note - ok mate. I respect that.

Sorry GB but not sure starting Coleman (passed it) Gomes, Holgate and Kenny (very poor) and Townsend (impact sub) and DCL (clearly not match fit) could be classed as an almost full team?

There was no Allan, no mina, no dvb, no mykolenko, no branthwaite., no Patterson.

We should be able to field a better team than that one on Sunday - injuries, cup tied players and stubbornness prevented it unfortunately.

I know money for a rebuild is tight (or none existent) but 3 big plus’s are that Tosun, Delph and Sigurdsson’s contracts are up. Those are big wages that can but put elsewhere. Even if we look to the loan to buy market I’m sure if we can stay up this season we can improve the squad by getting them off the payroll.

Whoever we play they all need to improve pronto if we want to stay up.

Totally agree GB.
Whilst it was a terrible result and performance against palace the positive was it wasn’t a league game!

Frank needs to start earning his wage - get them to shape up or ship them out of the match day squad.

Too many have been given too many chances already to prove themselves - why the manager can’t see their not good enough is beyond me!

After years of this tripe I'm afraid there's no fight in any players we play in this team, the harsh reality is we are right up the creek and moshi listened to an advisor to leave the paddles behind.
We are solely reliant on 3 teams doing worse, whilst actually being better than us, what a situation to find ourselves in, point fingers of blame anywhere you want but the players at this club have let us down.

Gordon fights, sometimes over the line, but how cam we be relying on a 21 year old kid in his 1st season to save us.

Surely Gordon should be showing Frank that kids can come in and improve a team

I can understand not wanting to saddle the kids with the stress of a relegation battle but it's just games of football and all they want to do is play.
