Just not good enough.

The least you expect with 7 games to go and one of the more winnable games in front of you is show some passion and fight. Never saw one player fist pumping, lifting his team-mates, lifting the crowd. It was a tame effort and we looked like a side waiting to die. Body language in the last 3 games has been all wrong.

The team is littered with basic errors from 1-11. We will never be able to sit deep/solid and keep clean sheets with this lot so we should be playing to our strengths and going on the attack against a mid-table side with not as much as we had to play for.

One wonders and many do how Aaronson continues to keep getting picked? 1 goal from over 30 games playing that advanced. Incredible. Never looks like creating or scoring.

One wonders why Weston McKennie is getting game time. Clearly overweight. Not fit enough and i would argue whether he is even committed to the cause with the ease of how easy he disappears on the field.

It is now down to whether there are 3 worse teams than us. Two huge games coming up and a minimum of 4 points needed or I think we are down.

liw, agree gracia does not know who to play where....

meslier/rocca/ koch are far from rubbish
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This. None of these are bad players. Scary how gracia doesn't seem to know his best 11. Just playing Aaronson over Gnonto every game is a stackable offence.
Thank God we didn't buy mckennie. Has done nothing to warrant a contract.
Like playing two men short with him and flopsy in the midfield.

The worse thing is that SHOULD we go down… I can’t see us bouncing back up right away. In fact can see us languishing mid table of championship for years.

Hurts the fans. Players and owners will move on. Won’t give a fek

I agree with your OP LIW.

And I agree with Lowfields. We are the worst team
In the Prem. And absolutely deserve relegation.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Nah leciester, saints, bournemouth, forest and everton are worst
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Leicester, who are holding Wolves? Saints, who put three past Arsenal, at Arsenal? Forest who aren’t conceding away to the team that put 6 past us at Elland Rd? Everton, holding their own a Crystal Palace who mauled us at our own ground? Think again LIW - these are teams that are starting to get their sh!t together knowing we’re falling apart. Anything less than 3pts against Leicester and we’re sliding to oblivion.

This squad is an absolute mess. The amount of money we’ve spent to the quality we have is disgusting. Are Roca and McKennie an improvement on Klich? Is Kristensen even slightly better than a past his best Luke Ayling? We have 1 left back and two managers have been terrified to use him. We’ve got a £35million player who the manager doesn’t want to use. The blame lays at Orta’s door. Gracia isn’t the best manager and has made errors but also hands are tied with what he produce from this group of players.

Thing is we drew with Man Utd and beat Liverpool this season. We also deserved to beat Arsenal at Elland Road. Got a draw away at Newcastle. Every team has some good results and performances over a season

Southampton and Forest are easily the two worst teams we’ve faced this season, we will finish above them

If we can't beat Leicester midweek, we've had it.

Forest drawing with Liverpool, Everton holding Palace and Leicester drawing with Wolves with about 20 minutes to go seems that unless we get maximum points against Leicester and Bournemouth or possibly 4 points at worse then we will be in the bottom 3 and there we will stay....Extremely worrying times.

Leicester 2-1 up

Leicester winning

Ken Bates must be pizzing himself laughing

To think Paul Heckingbottom who was considered to be an absolute disaster and joke at Leeds will almost certainly be swapping places with us next season and I bet that tastes really sweet for him considering all the stick he took from many of us. Good luck to the fellow.

He was a disaster at Leeds.

2 point lead cut to 1. Not an awful weekend

Jeez I hope the players have more fight left than many of those giving up among the fans.

Today we at least showed more fight. Yes Aaronson, McKennie ( he doesn't even look bothered) & Harrison were very poor but at least one point was literally waved away by Meslier today.

On to Tuesday.

I think Leicester winning makes it an awful weekend.

They’ve got the best fixtures out of us forest and Everton. Got to beat them on Tuesday

Leicester also have a better squad.

If Dean Smith can organize and steady them
Then we’re in knee deep sh 1 t.

I can't see us getting another point with Gracia at the wheel... Leicester will easily beat us and then Bournemouth and then City will massacre us and then Newcastle, West Ham and even Spurs will beat us so unless Gracia is quickly removed and replaced by Monday morning at the latest we are going to be relegated.

If gracia picks our best 11 we'll beat Leicester.

Key word there is ‘if’. He doesn’t know our best 11.

What is our best 11?

Anyone?

I tell you if we could play like Shef Utd are so far against Man City we would get enough points to stay up.
Hunger, desire, high energy and very well organised.

Man C had a tough game at Munich midweek. A lot of those players playing today. They look leggy

I know who’s not in it … starting with Aaaronson.

Agree with Shaun, who are our best 11?
And what’s our best formation? Tactics?
Big fat mess.
