MmmMonsterMunch Get a grip you suicidal lot. Watford had everything to play for in front of their home fans - we had nothing to play for.

Only ever going to be one winner today. We have a shite record there anyway.

This team has done phenomenally well since BM took over. They can't play brilliant every week & perhaps adrenaline has been keeping them going thus far. Now they have nothing to play for, it's inevitable they will take their foot off the gas. So fecking what?!

LOL at slagging off Griffin. Some people on here crack me up.


feck off you pLOLastic pcunt.. After watching trash like that we can criticise our players. And yes i never liked Griffin so i can slag him off when he plays like he did.

Infact did you even go today?

I went yesterday. If you don't like Griffin, it must be the only game you've been to. That or you're educationally subnormal.

I didn't ask you if you did, because i had seen that you were talking about the game, whereas that guy/kid was not..

Also i have been to alot of games this season, and from the day i heard we signed Griffin i wasn't overjoyed.. i have never sung his name, and have yet really to be impressed by him. (btw this is my opinion so try not to get to many hard on's over it and Erage) thanks :)

Then I'm afraid I consider you rather wrong in the head, that you don't want us to have a player who has largely been excellent since coming here and has never shown any attitude problems here or put a foot wrong with the fans.

Try and look beyond your irrational prejudice.

We valued his experience, not his skill.. That’s all i will say :lol:

@Brendy yes, think i told him to go to Stoke, not come back etc..

I really don't see the problem with Griffin. Has been a breathe of fresh air to have a decent right back who, I believe, has a reasonable amount of skill and control, can pick a pass occasionally, and is a good all rounder with regards to tackling, heading, etc.

If we manage to secure at least another season loan of him, I will be more than happy.

To be fair no one stood out yesterday. Watford deserved their victory and it can't have been totally unexpected. Ok it's not what we want to see but Watford had to play for survival and us bugger all. Although, imo, I didn't think Watford would go down. I did and still do think it'll be Sheffield Wednesday!

As for Griffin, he's been great for us, and when yesterday we didn't even play as a team it's unfair to pick out Griffin. However, I thought he looked quite disinterested and for that reason I fear maybe he'll not be here next season!

Wasn't surprised in the slightest with the result, given the way we played at Scunthorpe and the implications in-store this was a home banker on the football acca's, but even I was shocked at that level of performance. We were 2nd best all over the park and barely mustered a chance in-front of goal. Watford were good value for their win.

Big Foot LOL @ the fickleness of our fans, singing Griffin for England one week then telling him to fcuk off back to Stoke the next. Idiots


Couple that with loads of people near me next to the away fans chanting "Come on Wednesday" and "going down" when Watford were 3-0 up :roll:


To be fair, anyone who sings Griffin for England in the first place deserves an LOL.

floyd__streete I am going to put as much effort into these 'back from the game' thoughts as the players did during yesterday's 'game'.

Clever... but self-defeating on that account.

Proves how much you need to grow the f*** up in my opinion and as for all the stuff you have said about Griffin that is your choice but you need to respect that others don't agree with you. Instead of keeping on get over the game, yes it was bad and awful to sit through but hey it's a game move on to the next one!

After the run we have had these past few months it is difficult to criticise this performance under the circumstances. Shit happens.
McDermott has managed to coax an improvement from almost every player, but going forward I don`t think his one dimensional approach is going to be so effective over next season`s forty six games. This idea of getting the ball quickly into the last third and playing from there is fine, but when it doesn`t come off, as at Plymouth and Watford, we look like a shambolic bunch of hoofers and lack the size and muscle for the physical battle.
We need to pass and move better and look for ways to move the opposition around. The full backs retreating to the touchline to receive the ball off Federici might be a start...... and sign a striker that can hold the ball up, develop the play and still bag twenty goals a season. I have joined Alan Partridge in the Jason Scotland fan club.

I haven't seen Cummings play tbh, so i really can't comment.

Royal, thats cool, but for posting an opinion i get shot down in flames, so i defend my opinion.. I'm not asking others to agree with it.

Fully agree with all this. Our one dimensional tactics are now known to the opposition who are stopping us playing. Just close down the wingers, don't give Gylfi time on the ball, and we're not a force to be reckoned with. Brian's brilliant honeymoon is now over - last eight games W2 D3 L3 isn't promotion form - and he now has the difficult job of getting the team in order for next season.
