As totally depressing as yesterday was where football was concerned and for me other heart wrenching factors too we can''t go into this game against WBA thinking we aren''t going to win it. We have shown in other matches, teams higher than WBA that we can put on a performance and have what it takes to get all 3 points. I feel if Wigan lose/draw on Tuesday we will be ok, but if they win I think the pressure for the players is going to be massive and it''s a case of if we have the bottle to cope with it.

When is it roughly due to be played?

Fair point jim smith. I think the whole match might have been different if we didn''t concede such a stupidly early goal. Many of our performances have been good, without the desired result. We will get 3 points soon but the team need our optimism and support to spur them on...

And they just had a red card...

I agree really no need to panic just yet! I feel if we hadn''t of conceded in the 69th second on Saturday the whole game may have been different. We haven''t played badly and have been unlucky not to have grasped 3 points on some occasions. We scored as many goals Saturday as we had all season so lets get behind the team and feel optimistic that we are going to start banging them in and getting the results. Onwards and upwards OTBC!

I was there at the game and willing to pay full price for my ticket.... Only while we were queuing at ticket office 2 lovely men offered 2 complementary tickets.... Turns out from none other than Wes Hoolahans brother! Sweet! Was a cheap night for us!

Good luck to the chap! I feel a bit sorry for him really!! Took a right battering over the past months!

I really want to go too!! I don''t have enough stubs or actually have anyone to go with yet so I guess I better just start crossing my fingers!

Nexus: lol!

Hughton now has his squad, until January at least! Let''s just take it game by game and not get over excited/pessimistic about what''s going to happen. Football is a funny game and there will always be surprise results. We are 2 games in and yes got hammered at fulham, any great surprise? Probably not as we seem jinxed there! And then played very well against a qpr side who were also the back end of a heavy defeat. I''m not expecting a huge result today, however I''m not ruiling it out either, anything can happen. I just expect us to put in a good performance.

When was this interview, as when the let fans watch before a game they often just ''go out and play''. I''m sure Hughton knows what he is doing. You guys need to relax! Lambert is gone, yes he may have been a genious but Hughton hasn''t been given a chance to prove himself or his team yet. Sit back and enjoy...

Great post nobody - money cant buy team spirit which I think has played a large part of our success. People who think the players we are signing aren''t ''big'' enough may be overlooking the vital ingredient IMO.

I totally agree with chip20. Give Hughton a break, there is no need to cross examine everything he says, adding 1+1 and =20! Hughton said we will go to win and spurs are a good side, what''s wrong with that. Onwards and upwards

Definitely, depression is so often swept under the carpet so to speak. Darren is doing a fantastic Job of raising awareness.

I don''t think I could think of a player I would want less than Barton... Maybe the OP was being sarcastic... I hope :)

I hate to burst your bubble lol but there definately was goal music....

Unfortuantely Canary Call attracts a bunch of complete idiots.... Some speak sense, but some it makes me wonder sometimes who these people are :S... I think Canary Call needs to be taken with a pinch of salt lol.

Would just like to say was great to see Simeon have a run out today - I thought he did an excellent job - my MOM imo... I really hope he starts again next week. I thought it was a slightly strange decision to take off both Holt and Jackson so close to the end, but im not complaining, I thought we were much much better today :)  

I agree he was great today, along with Bassong - a good job for the numbers on their backs and different colour boots as they look identical from the upper N&P :)

I will be happy to give him a welcome however I won''t get upset if he doesn''t have the best game... Lol

I think I read somewhere fox is still unavailable? :(

I also agree with this post. I believe (and hope!) That we see an entirely different and much improved performance today. I think last Saturday was a one off and was unfortunate it was the opening game. Craven cottage is never an enjoyable trip for us canaries!! However qpr hasn''t been so bad :)

Lol if it makes u feel better I went to see Steps tour in April at the O2.... Very cheesy but enjoyable all the same lol! Have fun!! OTBC

I''m buzzing for today! Starting of with a meal in yellows (that''s been a good omen in the past) and no better way than to get back to winning ways by beating QPR...

Welcome Tettey!
