I do worry that things are going downhill fast, with the main problem now being the defence. Manciene made a mistake yesterday but he has been fantastic all season so I am not going to have a pop at him. In my opinion we do need a new keeper as Darlow may not have his mind on it anymore and he won't be here next season either, which I also believe is the reason Lascelles isn't playing. Wilson is not the player he once was and we do miss Hobbs and Cohen. Can't understand the tactic yesterday to take Fryatt off and bring Lansbury on either. Can't believe people are saying letting McGodrick go was a mistake, he was with us for three seasons and did nothing !!! The forward line is not the problem. The cold hard fact is we haven't won a match since Reid has been out and it is clear we need a creative midfield player. Think we need to play Fox instead of Harding too. As thing's stand there are 4 points seperating the top 9 so thing's are far from bad but we need to win quick and get the confidence going before the Pearce out brigade start !!!

Darlow IMO has been great this season. Few off moments but still great. IMO he was man of the match at Watford. Kept us in the game.

We beat Fulham without Reid

I don't think you should be blaming darlow for anything! He's saved us a lot more points than he's cost us so far this season. SP summed it up perfectly, the players need to take a long hard look at themselves and come back fighting. We need to thank our lucky stars that were only 4 points off the top of the table.

"I don't think we should blame Darlow for anything" strange comment when he would be the first to admit he made a mistake for the first goal. If we don't identify the reason for leaking goals then we can't rectify it.

Darlow has been fantastic this season. Let's not be ungrateful. The only player not turning up so far is Lansbury. And the absence of Hunt makes a huge difference.

We beat Fulham without Reid? Pathetic logic. So we'll just ignore all of the other matches since then will we?

Bearing in mind the keeper is paid to make saves & not make mistakes, I think "fantastic" is a bit hasty. Time to face facts with Darlow, he's not a patch on last year, with a move to Newcastle and people constantly blowing smoke up his arse when he makes a save, there's no wonder he's got big ideas. Opposition Keepers have been queueing up to get to the City Ground to collect the Man of the Match. The reality is Darlow is no better than most of the keepers in our league at present.
