Guys, it is squeaky bum time in my opinion after Saturdays second successive Jekyl and Hyde performance.
Monk's starting 11 and substitutions were questionable and he had no answer to West Brom's intensity and pressing in the 2nd half. I feel sorry for the guy to be honest, being parachuted in like this in the most critical point of our Premier League adventure yet - stirring words only go so far.
Our form is not helped by the fact other teams seem to be picking up freak results (Fulham v Newcastle, Norwich v Spurs, Villa v Chelsea etc) but I can't see us getting anything at Arsenal or Chelsea. We have to get points against Norwich, Hull and Villa.
On a brighter note I have it on good authority that Dyer and Shelvey are back in full training. Forget Michu - we need these guys back fully firing.

It's frustrating. Rather than going into games where we should be winning I'm thinking please don't mess it up. Monk needs experience and I hope he is getting lots of support. Dyer, shelvy and Hernandez are back and michu on bench should bolster the ranks. Hoping they can hold a draw although Williams is missing Chico in defence?

Ash is out?I have heard that Josh Sheehan is one from the youth ranks who could make the grade. Evidence of his potential (and confidence for such a young lad) can be seen in this clip from Wednesday night's FAW Youth Cup semi against Cardiff...

What a frustrating match. Flores is a liability sometimes and it's hurting us bad. Then to defend brilliantly and hold off Chelsea for so long actually allowed me to believe we'd get a point. What a soft goal and poor attempt by vorm. Wins are needed !! Think if we play well Newcastle, Aston villa should be good and Sunderland. Hopefully Southampton won't turn up either. Thankfully there's 3 other clubs who have worse end fixtures !
