Thought we did ok today BUT

Bassong and Turner had a shocking first half and that 2nd goal we probably could not recreate the catalogue of sh*tness if we tried. Until that came we were good for at least a point. It completely killed us. If Tettey had just missed the ball we would have been ok.

Positives: good on the ball. Thought Olsson and Howson were very good. Fer good again. We don't hoof it any more and generally pass and keep the ball quite well. I feel we are unfortunate to have stumbled across something approaching our best team/form during a spell with some awful fixtures because we are suing quite well but after 10 games will be in the bottom 3. The Hull and Villa games/results are the real killer because we should have 4 more points and under no real pressure.

Negatives: turner and Bassong not on same wave length. Turners first half showing makes decision to drop Bennett look poor. I felt we sat off them a bit again today early on. Snoddy still searching for form.
