I wasn't confident we'd win the FA Cup semi until we hit the 4th. I distinctly remember turning to my dad after the 3rd saying 'we've scored these too early' That was a point in case of continuing to batter them even though we were 3-0 up. As stated earlier we always sit back on 1-0 and 2-0 leads inviting the opposition onto us. If we were good at defending or quick on breakaways then I could understand but we are neither. West Ham showed us how to do it on Saturday after their fortunate first goal. To be fair West Ham stuck 9 behind the ball and broke on us

The problem is as soon as we take the lead we try and defend for the rest of the game but we aren’t capable of keeping a clean sheet. Rather than trying to scrape a 1-0 we should keep attacking but that takes some balls and Hughes doesn’t have them anymore. I think you’ll be mistaken as pulis is Not in chsrge

Where Stoke are concerned,you cant relax unless we are 3 or 4 nil up with 1 min to go, even then you want the Ref to blow the whistle.

We were 5-0 up at Wembley and I was shitting it. Honestly can't see us taking a 2 lead these days but if we did the 88 mins plus added on would piss on our bonfire

Would you back us to get 3 points? At the moment I wouldn't, and I mean against anybody! I know it's an unlikely scenario, but fucking hell that's scary. What the fuck has happened to our defense? We never take a 2 nil lead....

I can't prove this ...it's pure speculation But I swear when we went 1 nil up v palace with shaqs wonder goal ...Hughes thought ...we can get a point here !! That's his mentality to me To me his aura is negative What colour is it? I'm going for blue, a bluey-grey Welsh melancholic blue 🤔😀

Well this is a scenario that is about to play out! Hope we can hold on. Thats the problem. We shouldn't be sticking 9 men behind the ball and hoping to hold on. Attack is the best form of defence. Let's hit them for 4 or 5. Next goal is crucial...
