Brighton 3 Leicester 0 Soton 1 Man City 0 Everton 1 Arsenal 0 Spurs 0 West Ham 1 Burnley 1 Liverpool 0 Palace 3 Swansea 1 That makes it 35 points for me. I don't think we will get hammered (apart from by maybe Man City) and we will compete - but I can't see us winning enough to scrape survival, unless someone above us hits the skids big-time. We will run it close, but we will just miss out in my honest opinion - the damage may well have already been done - look at the games we've given away points with sloppy defending and silly mistakes. Brighton 3 Leicester 0 Soton 1 Man City 0 Everton 3 Arsenal 0 Spurs 0 West Ham 1 Burnley 3 Liverpool 0 Palace 3 Swansea 3 17 points and 41.

Three points of 11th? May as well be ten points. We are incapable of getting points away from home. We cannot string two wins together. We are an awful side Absolutely correct. It has been posted thousands of times over the last 10/12 games that we are only 3 points off being wherever. Well the truth is we are still only 3 points off-but going nowhere very quickly! But we are eating lunch together in the canteen

Berra & Diouf won’t keep us up and miss more than enough chances. Crouch is good off the bench. Jese who knows where his head is at. What about Young Greenidge or Campbell at least on the bench

It is not the first time this season the opposition have scored inside the 6 yard area. Jack needs to command this. Barge players out of the way if needed. Top goalkeepers do. Shocking keeping and defending. The keeper needs to own that 6yard box. Shawcross needs to show leadership

4 points off them this season and now two clean sheets in a row. Let’s build on it. Onwards and upwards and 3 points on Saturday please.

They did the same with Mooy. Bought him from an Aussie team and loaned him to Huddersfield. Then sold him at a profit. What’s to stop them doing this again and again and dictating where the players go to cause them the least amount of damage.

Just ordered the third kit cheers for the heads up. Me too. Thanks for info. Shipping to Aust is half the price of buying off club shop. I’ve complained before but they don’t care. You would think they would be keen to promote global support

Time also to bed in the new players when we sign them and for a few to either leave permanently or on loan. I’d like to see a few fringe juniors given a chance to be with PL during this break

Great start and it will only take a few wins to get us to mid table. The most pleasing thing today apart from the 3 points was the clean sheet. I’m sure over the next 10 days we will see a few leave and a midfielder and striker arrive. That will then be a Good window.

Funny I just posted on Facebook saying it would be good to have the boys walk out to Eye of the Tiger. Today will be a real heavyweight contest and let’s hope we deliver the knockout blow

In Oz we have to pay $30 a month for the privilege of watching the game live at 2am which I do regularly ( the 7am game v Man U was perfect as I get to work early and watch it in my iPad) we can also watch the highlights in the morning. I wasn’t happy when fox lost the rights but to be fair Optus do a good job and wherever I am in Oz and presume the world I can watch the game. I think they have the World Cup as well

Huddersfield isn’t a gimme 3 points. We will have to work or bollocks off. I know from experience when you have time off between jobs you have a lot of thinking time . What could I change, where did I go wrong etc.Early signs are positive in that he wants to get involved which is the only way early on when you need to work out the workers from the shirkers.

I supported Hughes but he should have gone in the summer. His transfers and tactics have been very questionable this year. Good luck Paul Lambert. We have 6 very winnable games after tonight and 12 points would see us climb right out of trouble
