That's a disaster result, especially so close to the finish line.

Things are not looking good.

Not the best but a point is a point and considering we have key players out it's not a disaster. Still 10th. Relax

A slightly concerning story in The Sun this morning regarding Ivan Toney and natch betting. Hopefully it's just rubbish.

That's his chance of being picked for the WC squad gone.

Well last night was a pile of dog turd.

We really have to sort ourselves out and fast.

I have no idea what the answer is, I appreciate we have injuries, but this is just not good enough right now.

This is not a sack the manager post or anything like that, he is completely the right man for the job and we could not get any better than Thomas Frank, but this team really need to get there head out there arses.

Onwards and upwards only Man City next! With our away form we will be fine.

Yep. Another game lost/drawn in the last 15 minutes or less of a match. That is something that needs sorting, as that is now happening far too often.

If we drop into the bottom 3 by January, I think we'll struggle to get out of it, especially if Saints & Wolves have new manger bounce back, and maybe the Cherries to if they appoint a manager in new year.

Its incredibly tight at the bottom, Leicester are doing what I wthought they would (a mini newcastle).

We certainly need to stop shipping goals, I'm not sure if this is the tactics employed near the end of the game to see them out, but we seem to of changed the way we play compared to last season.

Hopefully with not too many international stars jetting off to the world cup we can work on defending a bit more.

Classic smash and grab.

25% possession 100% of the points

How Stirling gets in the England team over Toney is a total mystery

How on earth did thay happen? Can't win away all season and then win arguably the hardest fixture in the premier league.

Don't ask, just take the 3 points with a big grin biggrin

Fantastic two finger salute at Southgate from Toney as well.

To everyone except Southgate unfortunately.

I had hoped the notion of only picking players that are at top 4 or 6 teams had disappeared over the last few cycles but obviously not.

Ward-Prowse is another one, Maddison made it by the skin of his teeth.

What a result. I will be 100% honest I was not expecting that.

But the difference in our play compared to other games I have seen was massive, we need to play like that every game, press players, thats what we did in our first season in the premier league, sitting back gives too much time to world class players to pick the pass etc.

We aren't as skillful as other teams, but what we have always done well is the high press of players.

I doubt any Bees fan was in all honesty.

But, as great as it was, as you say, we have to start putting performances in like against those teams around us in the table, and below.

I was expecting a 5 nil hammering based on past away performances.

Its still incredibly tight at the bottom, a bad run and we are back down in it. Just need to beat the teams around us, which has always been a struggle for us, like loosing to barnsley on the great escape they had in our promotion season etc.
