If I gave you Ings in this squad from the start of the season. Where do you think we'd be? Certainly wouldn't sort the midfield out! I think we'd probably have about 8 more goals and 5 or 6 more points at least.

Scotland Euro play-offs 26th March. You can bet he'll have that circled in his calendar. Wonder if we'll still have a sniff of staying up by then.

That carnage of a midfield yesterday is obviously what would have happened weeks ago if McGinn had been rested. It's like the rest of them don't have a basic understanding of where to be or what space to take up. The state of it. This could finish us off if Jack isn't moved back to the middle immediately.

Out for three months says John Percy who is rarely wrong.

Also his face is on the side of the stadium.

He ain't getting sacked after that contract. If he does, I think Purslow could be in trouble as well. Owners will be asking why we just gave him a new contract while results were poor.

I'd be going Engels and Konsa myself. Hause got boshed around. First goal wasn't pretty though.

Right in the chops wasn't it?

I thought Guilbert was alright.

Shoved around by Ings and Long.

Silly, but that made me laugh.

Alongside Anwar as the most pathetic today for me. Coward. How can you possibly be jogging back for that first goal? Have you given up because someone (Shane Long!) is about to have shot? Yes, is the answer, he'd given up. Oh, but Heaton has sav... oh look it's in anyway. Pitiful. They went at him loads today and got plenty of joy.

You can absolutely do one with that attitude Anwar. Don't know who you think you are, but you certainly aren't good enough for those effort levels. Cost us us the second because he didn't fancy it. Trez, who is rubbish would have challenged for that header. Might have lost it, don't know, he'd have bloody tried. Interesting comment above saying he doesn't get on with Wes. It's been obvious for about 6 weeks most of the team have had it with him. I'm not having anyone strop around like that though, disgusting behaviour.

Late on I think at 3-1... Grealish by some miracle managed to squeeze the ball through about 5 players and give it to him out towards the left hand side of the box. I don't know what happened but he either missed it, or was taken by surprise, or it bounced off his shin but suddenly he's scuffing it into a tackle with someone. How can you not be ready to receive the ball in the box, 13 yards from goal?! ARRGGGH! FFS! He reacts a week after the ball is on it's way. He's got no basic understanding or anticipation skills. If you've even seen young American kids play football, it's a bit like that. They've got no basis of understanding of how the game works because they're young, but also because they've hardly watched it. He's so effing bad I can't believe it. Honestly can't. You could drop ten different League 2 strikers in there that would have contributed more than him this season. They would do something, not just nothing almost every single match. Challenge for a ball, not be on the wrong side of the pitch constantly. It's mostly been anger, but today I did feel a bit sorry for him because he was trying. To reiterate, far from out worst player today.

FFS man, get him in the team. He's not even good but knows roughly what he's meant to do. It's honestly incredible that Wes can be in the wrong place 100% of the time.

He owes Smith something, the faith is utterly remarkable. Cannot play football. He won't be scoring in the championship if we go down, especially with no Jack Grealish at the club. Was nowhere near our worst player today because he tried.

Well, he finally changed formation. We had a flash of 442 today, not that you could tell. Horrendous. The midfield, as has been the case for a long time, was a total mess. There's no nous, players are running all over the place with no plan. Smith has a lot to answer for but my word the players let him down today. Targett and El Ghazi for me in particular were an absolute disgrace. Cowards, absolute **** cowards. The worst of a load of rubbish. The worry now for me is that the players see him as a soft touch. We haven't been playing like that all season, no way. What's happened? Why have some stopped trying? We've lost a lot of games this season we'd have got points if we had a striker who could play football. Today we deserved nothing. The performance levels dropped so much Wes wasn't our worst player. Didn't think that was possible. This has knocked me for six. Don't know what to think. Before today I had no confidence going to Watford, thought we needed six from Saints and Norwich. This is it. We're going to be relegated if we don't win either of the next two. If we line up 433 with Jack on the left wing next match I'll be fuming. 4-2-3-****-1 with Jack in the middle of the pitch is the only way we're getting anything. But it's been eye-stabbingly obvious we need an alternative formation for about 11 months now and we haven't changed, not sure I hold out much hope.

Poor bugger.

Looked like a strange break or pop. He bounced on his ankle.

He owes Smith something here. It's like having 10. Can you see when they lash it forward all you have to do is stop the centre half heading it away. Like Long and Ings are 75% of every hump forwards. We can't get the ball forwards because he's never there. I don't know how he can be in the wrong place so often. Obviously, everyone was shit that half aside from Jacko.

Heaton, Fred, Engels, Hause, Targett, Doug, McGinn, Hourihane, Jacko, Wesley, El Ghazi

What have I told you? Can you keep your insults to the Mings thread please. Very unpleasant to read you calling fans words removed across multiple threads.

Knives Out is great fun. Gets a bit ploddy in the middle but very watchable throughout. Was ready to wince at Craig but I thought he was great. A very carefully selected role by Chris Evans trying to escape the cap.

I hate this news.

Need him at his best for these games. He's got to be so good they can't mark him out the game. No one is showing enough to win matches for us if he's not firing .
