Could hardly be accused of parking the bus today & at a few other games previously...
If we don't get the rewards those efforts deserve at the end of the season it won't be for a lack of trying...

Another valiant defeat today.. Great team effort.. Magnificent support.. We have the spirit and togetherness.. Need a couple of attacking signings to freshen things up.. In trouble..but.. Not yet doomed. I am constantly baffled by Wagner's subs tho.. Thought Mbenza was having his best game for us.. His pace caused them problems..but He's gets subbed on 62 mins for super col?? Weird Couldn't fathom that one out either - I thought Mbenza was excellent today. Great effort from the lads today, let's keep it going into the next 3 matches and nick some points |

Absolutely must starting winning games.. We are competing but losing. If everything had gone our way this season we could be 6th. The thing is the luck is against us.
The old saying "Luck favours the brave" is what we need to be, and brave not stupid.
We go from more defensive than a moat to all out gung-go attack, without a middle ground.
We need to be brave when In ball posession and play quicker forward ball.
Mbenza showed what some pace can do. I'd like a 4-2-3-1 with Diakhaby, Mbenza and kachunga as the 3, with a pacey striker coming in January. We have to force teams to keep more than one eye on defending our pace.

Town had easy chances that a half decent striker would have put away It would have been a totally different game had those first 2 easy chances gone in after 10 mins Neither fell to a striker, so the point is somewhat moot. Saying that, I'm not sure where your 2nd easy chance in the 1st 10 mins has come from though. I swear he watches different Town games to me, last week he was claiming our strikers have missed loads of open goals too! They have absolutely missed sitters but I havent missed a minute and no Town player has had an open goal chance this season. Maybe he thought a replay of the only chance was actual another one   Edit just seen he thought the Mbenza shot was an easy chance and was closer than 25 yards out Time for a trip to Specsavers me thinks! Which will probably explain all the open goals he claims we've missed too. |

Got to get something at fulham and beat a shocking Burnley, All those creaming themselves today even after a 3-1 defeat are living in the fantasy islands.
We are now 5 points adrift.
We might aswel play without strikers.

Luck isnt against us, you make your own luck.
Something is a miss in the dynamics of the team whether you like it or not.

Got back half an hour ago - was stuck in the gridlock for ages. See the usual bitching on this board as usual - becoming tiresome and think I will stop bothering if you lot don't give it a rest. Do you think most of us are interested in your personal trading insults?
Anyway, on to my thoughts, really good display put the pride back into the fans - no plastics in evidence today - we all got behind the team and Wagner and Dean. We were good enough to draw this game, they were nothing special but had a cutting edge whilst we were our usual selves at the business end. Que sera.  |

This team smacks of accepting defeat today and focusing on Fulham Can't blame him really. Fight the battles you have a chance of winning (Only just catching up on threads after getting home, so appreciate hindsight is a wonderful thing, but we didn’t roll over today, despite the score) |

Saving him for Fulham? This is game is done. It wasn't at 1-0, and he was our most threatening player at that point. Bringing him off for Quaner sums our mentality up and makes a mockery of this No Limits nonsense we have rammed down our throats. He was knackered... a few times he was deeper than our fullback and blowing out of his arse. He had a good game though. |

Flo was disappointing though but I'm assuming we're saving Hogg for Fulham Today was a completely pressure free game for the players as no one expected them to get anything and it showed in how they played. Let's see how they do when they're massively under pressure in the next 3 games because it will decide our season |

I don’t think we let them get out of second gear, as we often do with our pressing. Missing Mooy and Hogg and to play like that gives me confidence. |

Thought Mbenza had his best game in a town shirt. Still think unreal Quaner gets game time here, it's depressing.

Why have we waited until man u away to go with the most attacking line up of the season? Why didn't he do this against Newcastle or Southampton? This. Totally agree, I just hope he sticks with it now and doesn't revert back against Fulham. We need to win 2 of our next 3 to have any chance of staying up. |

Exactly, we are getting to the point of no return now, 10 points for the season at xmas. |

I feel we got alot more of a performance than anybody expected today ,and feel M O T D will highlight those easy chances missed as our ongoing downfall. 3-0 was not a true reflection of the game,and next game Fulham are no Man Utd Ignoring the fact it was actually 3-1, we were toothless again. |

Might be meaninless to some ,but have a read on the United forums at the respect they have shown us for the performance We were alot better today than most expected ,and that has to be a positive plus This is normally a forum with nothing good to say about opposition teams Town will beat Fulham if they can play like that plus have alot more luck Feel its not over yet ,but Jan window is vital Town will beat Fulham? Unlikely I think, and they are bottom. What does that tell us? I do not think we were better than expected. I thought we were poor and utd not much better. |

Incidently what do you think of Billing Seneca?

If we don't get the rewards those efforts deserve at the end of the season it won't be for a lack of trying... we never 'attack' in open play in the same numbers that we get attacked with.. there is never a tap in or easy close in header.. never a midfielder coming late and popping one in side footed etc.. given we don't score many the above being as it is, that won't change.. neither 'striker' is likely to hit a rich vein of goalscoring.. the centre halves scoring at set pieces and corners is unlikely to yield enough points.. |

I liked what i saw yesterday. If Hogg had played instead of Flo just think how different that result coud have been.
4231 away at a big 6 club? We looked so different going forward, we moved the ball around well at times and if we can do that at Old Trafford we can do it at most places. Hope this is a sign as to how Wagner wants to play from now, impressed with Mbenza and Pritchard. We created enough chances to win that game had we not failed to close down Pogba (very basic).
Was proud of that overall performance and the intent.
