The positive is that we lost because we had a bad day, its not like we played well and

got stuffed. Until the sending off they were marginally the better side but we again did not look out of our depth and Jerome should have scored. We know that we can and will play a lot better than that in most games this season.

We desperately need Olsson back (Brady tries hard but is costing us) and that extra striker and centre back would be nice in the next 48 hours. I would happily not see Whitaker start again this season because whilst he has the odd cracking game going forward he's always liable to have a game like that.

Wisdom did quite well i though and other than that i think Tettey put in a good shift again.

The other lesson from this is that we need to sort out our home form because we cannot bank on going away and winning regularly like we did last season. The good thing is we have it in us to win away from home more regularly than we did under Hughton but despite our excellent run under Neil which ended today more often than not at this level we are not going to win so we really need to bank plenty of home wins out of our home fixtures before Christmas.
