People keep bringing up were we were a few weeks ago, or pointing out we’ve won our last 2 before today.

That is irrelevant to the performance tonight. In fact it should’ve motivated them more. We played a diabolical football team with nothing to play for while we have everything to play for, and we couldn’t do it. We didn’t even come close. It was a crazy bad performance. How are people dressing this up by bringing up the previous two games. Today was completely and utterly unacceptable.

We haven't become Barcelona over night, the problems of the season haven't been overcome so why are you so surprised?? All people are saying is its another step to safety, its a point on the board the other teams around us would snap ya hand off for. All its about now is getting enough points to get this dreadful season done with, and this is a step in that direction.

The time for sorting out this dreadful mess is when we are safe, we have two home games now whilst the other have some really tough fixtures, I would take our position any time, let's be realistic.
 
It we stay up, it’ll be because Burnley and/or Leeds will get worse results than us. I have no faith in this team or manager to get the job done themselves.

If you dont think this squad lacks quality then im gobsmacked.
I have no idea why you are surprised.

With someone who can finish we win the game there.

There’s improvements needed. But there were chances there. You need a finisher and that’s been our main issue for most of the season, it’s why we’re averaging just over a goal a game.

...I cant see us getting no points in the last three games. If we just add another I'm pretty convinced that's it. And as I said above: we may even be safe now.

Dont underestimate just how bad Burnley are and how damaged by injuries and suspensions Leeds are.

Hope your right mate, Elland Road will be hoping to.

Think tonight and the next two are a worry for the reasons I said above, we’d nearly be better off playing top teams who’d come at us, wouldn’t be surprised at all if we beat Arsenal tbh.

Can never predict a relegation battle, they take on a life of their own.
 

Said it earlier in the week that we would mess this game up. I couldn't understand the gloating all week from fans acting like we were safe and the over paid divas ghat is our squad clearly thought turn up tonight, put in a half arsed effort and 3 pt is theirs.
This could have been nearly wrapped up tonight, instead we put pressure on ourselves in a tricky home game against Brentford. Just got to hope Burnley and Leeds don't get more than a draw

To be fair though they have two games left whereas we have three…this can easily be settled on Sunday or drag into the last day.

We’re just a poor team who would’ve been long gone if the teams around us weren’t so dross.

Yes fair point, but after that, can you trust them to get results against Palace and Brentford?

I know people are thinking otherwise but I've got Leeds as favourites to beat Brighton. Nothing game for the away side and everything to Leeds. It's a very normal type of result at this stage of the season.

Likewise I'd back us to beat Brentford but it'd still pile the pressure onto that Crystal Palace game.

Exactly, all tonight has done is absolutely ramp things up. Don't think for a second Leeds fans and Burnley fans haven't just seen our shower of crap dribble to a draw against a team with 8 first teamers put and who looked like they didn't even have a proper striker on the pitch....yet we stuck with 3 at the back for ages.

Absolutely shocking urgency tonight, pressure right back on us again now on Sunday, once again hoping other teams screw up instead of us taking care of business.

Yes we would definitely prefer our position to Leeds and Burnley, but people dressing tonight up as a good result need their cranium feeling.

We need a finisher and then some mate. Midfield has a scrap in them at times. But the quality and guile is zero.
Lots and lots of work to be done at this club.
 
Our only saving grace will be I don’t think Leeds pick up another point and I feel like Burnley only get a draw. Just a disgrace that it’s come to this that these bottlers need others to bail them out once again.

If we’re broke in the summer and can’t spend again we’ll be in exactly the same spot next year, these players are genuinely awful. Hopefully someone takes a punt on Calvert-Lewin but I can’t see it happening.
