| Why this team are so hard to like 14:36 - Apr 25 with 2017 views | nrb1985 | Much has been said about the juxtaposition of us being on the cusp of promotion but fans also not really taking to the side as a whole. I think today and Portsmouth summed it up for me. In terms of composure, decision making, intensity, not to mention quality, so many of these guys are so far off getting anywhere near the starting team in 23/24. Today was bloody awful relative to the outlay on some of this team - be it transfer fees, wages or loan fees. Jack Clarke summed it up for me - hopeless in possession and but unforgiveable in a game of this magnitude he was consistently letting people run off the back of him. For me, it is hard to imagine the 23/24 team putting in performances like today or Pompey in a run in and what left me most disappointed today was it really looked like they wanted it more than us for the most part. Anyway, 3pts needed, let's see but today really was very very disappointing in terms of performance if not result. |  | | |  |

| Why this team are so hard to like on 14:41 - Apr 25 with 1418 views | farkenhell | I really couldn't give a toss about the performance, it's all about the result. We need 1 win from 2. What's hard to like about that? And a timely reminder if performances are your thing. The 23/24 team were just as capable of throwing in an underwhelming performance (and result) or two at the end of that season. Remember Watford and Middlesbrough at home? |  | |  |
| Why this team are so hard to like on 14:42 - Apr 25 with 1376 views | Nthsuffolkblue | West Brom were desperate for a point. They have 7 clean sheets from their last 8 matches. We created a few chances that we were woeful at converting. But we kept a clean sheet too. They drew 1-1 with Southampton and 0-0 with Millwall. |  |

And mine. They showed so much drive, passion and fight at Carrow Road, even though keeping possession was, again, an issue. But it seems to be lacking in so many games. |  |

At least the 23/24 squad had an excuse of punching, financially, well above their weight. |  |

I saw us battle as hard as West Brom did. Buoyed by only a 2 point deduction and well-organised and solid for the past 10 matches, they were never going to be an easy win. |  |

| Why this team are so hard to like on 14:48 - Apr 25 with 1223 views | andyblue231 | I do wonder what we’d all think about this team if we had a prolific striker in it. Add a couple of assists to all the front 5, another 8 points on the board, better performances that come from less pressure on us and a title push to the last day. It might be as simple as that. |  | |  |

"Happy Clappers" - Is the most pathetic expression that exists in modern football..... |  | |  |
| Why this team are so hard to like on 14:49 - Apr 25 with 1201 views | blueoutlook | They are blo0dy hard to watch. Awful football it must be said. And a hell of a lot of money spent on very average players. But we take the point today. That’s all that really matters. |  | |  |

...and at the end of the day, that counts for diddly squat. As it will for Millwall if we should pip them to promotion. |  | |  |
| Why this team are so hard to like on 14:49 - Apr 25 with 1180 views | bluefunk | Oh just give it rest. 6th game in 21 days, 4 of those in the road, playing a team who have 4 successive clean sheets, and undefeated in 9, motivated to get a a point to avoid relegation, and yet we withstood their pressure, and got a point, meaning we just need a win from the last 2 games. And by the way, that team you love so much won only 2 of their last 6 in 23/24, struggling to draw with Boro and Watford at home, lost the away Derby, and yet according to you they never put in a performance like we did today.

After the subs, I agree. Before that, disagree. |  |

Are you not pleased that we now need 1 win from the final 2 games to seal promotion? I'm delighted and will happily clap away. |  | |  |

We were disjointed and made mistakes before the subs but I didn't see any lack of fight at all. |  |

Hello Chorizo. I don’t think any of them are PL players to be honest. |  | |  |
