Why doesnt Brown play the side that had been winning in the cup games......too much chopping and changing and Duke isnt the answer either.

laughable that Barmby cant get near the starting 11 in the league. City looked rubbish!

Didn't think they looked that good Dave. Barmby has quality there is none elsewhere in the team.

With Ashbee out i thought we may go with Barmby starting in midfield but for some reason didnt, and then decided to use Garcia as a replacement for Dawson etc so Kilbane can play left back. Wheres the class there. Manucho has the touch of a rapist and the rest of the team cant string a pass together, Fagan is back to being his petulant best and was lucky not to get sent off.

We desperately need to get something out of the Pompey game next week.

Fortunate that Newcastle got beat otherwise being 2 points above the drop would have been ass nipping time.

I can still see Newcastle getting out of it and it being WBA, Midds and City going down, think the other teams, have too much experience and quality to go down

I can see one of Newcastle or Stoke going personally.

Our remaining games

pompey H
boro A
Sunderland A
Liverpool H
Villa A
Stoke H
Bolton A
Man Utd H

The pompey, boro and stoke games are all 6 pointers. (bolton may even end up that way too)

Between us, Blackburn, Sunderland and Hull for the final relegation spot in my opinion.

Pompey have a decent run in and should be fine. Stoke have a very good home record and their run in includes some winnable games at home that will probably see them safe.

Blackburn have a very tough run in. Sunderland's isn't easy either. We have some winnable home games but some tricky away games. Hull's run in has already been mentioned.

If we play like we did yesterday we deffo wont stay up, If Brown starts going for 3 points at games rather than holding out for a draw we should survive and the fact our run in isnt as bad as other sides around us

Looking at your run in it is very tough indeed and i cant see where your are gunna get enough wins to stay up, same goes for Middlesbrough.

Our home games (apart from Chelsea) are winnable. We have to look at taking points from Stoke, Spurs and Villa away too. Stoke will be tough, we always do well against Spurs so could possibly take something and Villa might not have anything to play for when we play them.

I'm glad Hull City's luck finally ran out (apart from Fulham away) and they are sliding back where they belong.
