Just no options when we have the ball. Awful stuff.

Total abomination so far. At least we’re still level at the moment.

Who’s the presenter this evening on Amazon? I switched on thinking it was Aled Jones!

Ferdinand and Dublin firmly in the Gerrard camp by the sounds of it.

Do we think this is a starter course though? If so, no complaints from me ps they must be losing a lot of money!

…………….and so he remains, for now. Regardless of the final result here, he should go. We’ve seen some false dawns already, most notably last season when we beat Brighton away, Southampton at home comfortably and then Leeds away comfortably but then reverted back to losing three on the bounce. It’s been like this for twelve months now. Zero consistency. Even six points from this and Brentford at the weekend won’t change my feelings. As a fan base we’re fed up and we all need a lift. Can’t see him changing anything unless Coutinho is back in, which I wouldn’t do personally. Martinez Cash Konsa Mings Young McGinn Luiz Ramsey Bailey Ings Watkins Subs: Olsen, Bednarek, Chambers, Nakamba, Sanson, Dendoncker, Coutinho, Buendia, Archer. Quite honestly, I do care and would never want us to lose just so a manager is sacked because I’m not sure it will be based on this one result anyway. I think we’ll win, just. 1-2 but a horrible game and it won’t be enjoyable in the slightest. UTV

Repetitive 433 line up and the same eleven that started Sunday will start again I reckon. I’m just not sure how this one will go? Even if we win the game, nothing changes in relation to Gerrard. Just not feeling it today but hopefully I’ll change come Thursday evening.

I do find it amusing when some on here make Poch out to be some kind of demigod and that he’s an unrealistic target. Why is this? He was at Southampton and did well, got them to an eighth placed finish and earned his move to Tottenham. At Spurs he achieved a couple of second place finishes, a League Cup final and a Champions League final but was ultimately dismissed inside a five year period. At PSG he won the title but was replaced after twelve months. Is he in the elite category? Probably, yes he is but I honestly don’t think he’s an unrealistic target. We must be a massively attractive proposition to many managers/coaches. Outside of the big six or seven clubs, we have good owners, a large fan base, a large stadium and ultimately we have money to spend. Let’s not sell ourselves short.

Ultimately the buck stops at Gerrard but I have to say, you don’t see any of his coaching team in his ear or appear to be helping him during a game. Does Danks even exist? I do think his supporting staff are badly letting him down and just as culpable. The continuous improvement line only looks ridiculous if we don’t act now. Purslow needs to stand by the boards principles and fire the bullet this week. Plain and simple. Any further delay is damaging the club badly.

Next appointment will be absolutely crucial. First and foremost, keep us in the league and cement a mid table finish this season.

Time to get this sorted and move him on. We need a lift to get us out of this mess. Hope some if not all of the coaching staff go as well.

Bottom line, it’s a result’s business and his points tally since he’s been here has been woeful, especially this season. Has to go now so we can salvage the remainder of the season.

Yeah, he’s really mixing things up today. Same midfield three, time and time again.

“Lolley popped that one in the top corset”

Carla Ward is actually out of contract at the end of this season but she’s already stated this week that she’d like to stay long term. Really hope we agree an improved contract with her soon as she’s really kicked us on. Our profile in the woman’s game must be going through the roof right now. A final point on yesterday, I know Daly gets a lot of the headlines and rightly so but Dali is absolutely fantastic with the ball. What a signing she is. Frustrating result yesterday but a really enjoyable watch and we deserved better.

We didn’t deserve to lose that game.

What a strange half of which we’ve pretty much dominated. West Ham scored in the second minute from a corner, which didn’t look a corner to start with. Their second was from a ricochet in the box. However, we’ve had most of the ball but have rushed our final pass. A lot to do to get something now but we can I reckon.

Absolutely fantastic news. Kamara Luiz Ramsey Should be our first choice midfield three when fit.

So will this be Gerrard’s last game in charge? Probably not, unless the game turns really sour for us and the crowd turn, and make it toxic for him. However, I just have a feeling that we may see another Man City performance and we’ll this time take another point or even more here. Will Gerrard be brave with his team selection? I’m not so sure, one or two changes maybe? Personally I’d love to see us mix it up and surprise the opposition. We’re all too predictable in our formation and personnel. My team: Martinez Konsa Chambers Mings Cash Dendoncker Luiz Young Buendia Ings Archer Gerrard’s team: Martinez Cash Konsa Mings Young Luiz McGinn Ramsey Coutinho Ings Watkins Subs: Olsen, Bednarek, Chambers, Nakamba, Sanson, Dendoncker, Bailey, Buendia, Archer. Quite honestly, I really don’t know what to expect but I think a draw is certainly possible and no doubt acceptable to Gerrard and the board for now. UTV

I think he thought of pig skin and tried to eat it. #hungry

I hope Ashley Preece asks him about starting Archer this weekend
