Norwich still require a point or two to stay up. Are they likely to come at us? Or try not to lose the game knowing that they are at City on the last day? Morrison and Brunt should be back. Fortune still suspended. Team?
Foster
Jones--McAuley--Dawson--Popov
----------Yacob--Mulumbu-----------------
Dorrans---------Morrison-------Long
----------------Lukaku-------------------------
Subs: Myhill, Olsson, Reid, Thomas, Brunt, Brown, Rosenberg,
Harsh on Rosenberg on how he has played in the past two games, but I think that is our best team.
Prediction: Norwich 0-1 WBA (Long 57)
Norwich away

JP must back SC in the Summer. Our squad is far to light and I worry that with our form since Xmas, that JP won't trust SC with the funds.
JP will not hang around in pulling the trigger if we start next season badly, but he has a part to play himself. As I said, he must let Clarke spend.
He's already failed SC. I can't help feeling if JP had 'sorted something' in January, then that would of given everyone a boost.
Weird. Our best ever PL finish and our it feels a little tainted. A sour end to the season indeed.

Spot on, JH. We're going to end the season with four straight defeats.
You know something's wrong when Olsson doesn't even shrug his shoulders at that second goal. Has he given up?

Olsson is playing for bigger things
Don't worry, goal machine Shane might get you out of trouble next season.

I'm just happy I support a club that acts when things don't go too well.
Minor clubs with no ambition or talent are happy accept double relegations.

What JH said. I don't know why the board are blame free. We were 6th/7th I think at the turn of the year. It has hardly been a massive drop but in terms of form, it's gone from European contenders to relegation form.
We had the chance to go out and sign 1-2 genuine quality players and we didn't. We knew we had a small squad. We knew about Mulumbu and ACON, we knew Yacob was injured we knew Od£mwingi£ was angling a move away from the club and we did nothing.
Steve Clarke was JP's man. He appointed him. He needs to back him.
That isn't excusing Clarke for yesterday's performance or for our downturn. He needs to devise a plan B and quickly.

For this season, Plan B looks like finishing 9th instead of 8th. But we've got to strengthen this summer in a number of positions. Maybe the Wigan and Norwich defeats have done us a favour, because suddenly we see where the team is weak.
