Car crash waiting to happen

Team ok apart from keeper
I know I’m in the minority but I think the keeper change is important. In my opinion Walton is the poorer of the two options as he can’t play out from the back and simply hoofs the ball down the pitch which usually concedes possession. This isn’t the way to succeed in the Premier League. I’m much happier with Muric between the sticks and still think he’s the best option if only we could eliminate his costly errors. The problem Is with a keeper more so than any other position it’s all about confidence and we don’t have that either of our keepers. I know we’ve gone one down but zi still think we’ll win today.

It’s a shame Broadhead isn’t as lethal in front of goal as Delap is. If he was we’d be 2-1 up now.

I like Nathan Broadhead and he gets himself into so many good positions but his finishing just isn’t sharp enough for this league.

A good first half performance but we should have scored more , I just hope we can play as well in the second half and score a few.

Muric at fault for their goal. Enciso looks good. Broadhead should of scored twice. Delap took his goal well 👏 🙏

Jumped to 17th on GD thanks to Everton currently giving Leicester a good humping!

Just need a good solid 2nd half and a couple of goals to see us have a good day.

I think I’d bring Philogene on anytime soon to replace Broadhead. at least if he gets half a chance it’s more likely to hit the back of the net. If Jack Clarke is here to stay we need to get him some game time soon to see what he can do to relay his wages.

To be fair 17th is all we need to achieve.

Can't see a home draw to Southampton being an acceptable result to help achieve that however!

Muric single handedly relegating us with the ridiculous number of big mistakes. 🤬🤬🤬

Both goals came against the run of play and sh*t happens sometimes. The problem is we just don’t have a Prem League standard keeper and of course we don’t take our chances in front of goal.

What a calamity though. Ipswich should of scored more. Good goalkeeping from Ramsdale and some poor finishing but ooh for goodness sake what a goalkeeper we have in Muric. He was hardly called upon, hardly needed yet BIG FAT FAIL

Hoping Villa beat Wolves later but its a case we are hanging on by how other teams are so poor

Another problem is that we have too many players who show no urgency until we go a goal down. It’s almost as iff they think as long as we keep playing sooner or later we’ll score, unfortunately that doesn’t always happen.

Unfortunately, That result will, I think, condemn us to go back down to the championship. I do think we came up a year too early. A pity.

A keeper that doesn’t mskd errors is impossible to find, just look at Sanchez ( Chelsea), Raya (Arsenal) & Omans ( Man Utd), Henderson ( Palace) to name just four. All have dropped absolute huge clangers recently, unfortunately keeper errors make headlines.

Why on earth did we not spend the millions on a playmaking midfielder ?
