Having been 2-0 away from home against a brilliant side, while being in a dreadful run of form.

But pat pat pat us on the head, we tried so hard.

Where on earth are people's standards???

mate? from were we where last week, its sad yes, but this is progress!

Biggest positive was we actually looked and played like a team again.

Attitude great.

Four/Six points from next two games a minimum for me. Cant wait for Leicester.

Damn, we need a striker.

And a left back and a centre back or 3.

Unsworth himself said 'we need to win'. Let's see if he stays true to that in the post-match stuff.

What would you of preferd him to say mate? "Yeah, we're a shambles right now so I'm really just focussed on getting an improved performance from the lads." That's what the truth was but he'd of been crucified by some had he said that. Seems you cant win with some.

True. We can't keep clean sheets that's for sure.

Including yours I suppose?

So no bounce, just more of the same then?

So I was right. Sound.

Exactly. That was our best performance this season........I'm a lot more positive tonight than I was beforehand .

we have just been comfortably beaten by Chelsea B, everyone appears to be made up with that, no wonder Moshiri gets away with his acceptable losses routine

I felt pretty good after this performance, and then a few bells on here makes me feel all angry and frustrated again.. not even sure if its worth it being on here some times.

Mate, why are you doing this?

I'm just gutted that we played that well and somehow lost. And the reason is simple and lies at the feet of the board and Walsh. No one to stick it in the net

I was encouraged by the second half. Useful contributions from McCarthy and Lennon, who I thought added a bit of determination if not much inspiration, and Mirallas, who I thought looked lively in the second half. He never did anything in the first half, but seemed to keep sticking at it and I thin he added the most to our second half improvement.

Apart from at RB - Kenny I thought did quite well , and Coleman to hopefully come back - I think we're gonna need some more defenders very soon.
