Their manager is under increasing pressure from the fans to resign. It was rumoured that he did resign after last weeks 0-4 defeat but he is still in the hot seat at present. A couple of their best players have recently left.

In contrast to us they're extremely poor away but are yet to lose at home.

What a shit afternoon. Didn’t even have a bar, to get out of the wind. Anyone know how I pay a congestion charge?

Can’t wait to not have a game next Saturday!

Down to 8th in the table, 8 points off top spot, but only 4 points off second place - so whilst today was disappointing - we’re still in contention - it’s all very tight at the moment!

IMO there needs to be two changes of personnel in our starting line-up, I won’t name names, but I think there are two obvious candidates who deserve a starting place and two who deserve a rest.

Not sure a free weekend is the best thing to be honest - but time to regroup, refreshed, and push on!

Today we huffed and puffed and despite the wind couldn’t blow their house down. It was a decent performance overall I thought, but one devoid of a cutting edge!

I think we have seen the last of Westwood as a regular. Gilchrist did enough in his 45 mins to cement his place. As much as I love Bunts we cannot ignore FBT any longer or we will lose him and Curtis must be wondering what he has to do to get back in the team. Will the break give us time to find another striker...I say another at the moment we don't have even one.

The wind ruined the game and essentially gave each team 45 minutes to attack the other, as a result we did have 45 minutes of total domination and yet again it was another example of complete failure to break down a team that has settled for what they have. I'm used to seeing that at home, I'd rather it didn't start happening away as well. I thought we'd done well to keep it down to 1 in the first half which left us an achievable target.

I too am very much looking forward to doing something else next weekend as my growing frustrations are slowly turning to apathy.

Apathy indeed.

To think I was excited at the start of the season to have us back in London and I bookmarked Hayes as the big away game early on with so much excitement.

Getting seriously bored of us going backwards and no one stopping it.
