He may well be pissed off but is he responsible if we don't go up? - Yes definitely!

We just need to win our next game - the team is desperate for 3 points and the fans should back them to achieve this. Once we get that win I believe we will see a more fluent, relaxed approach to our football. I will say this now - I think we will win 7 out of our remaining fixtures and go up probably as champions. Call me a mug if you want, but I still believe...

Having said that, like most people that seem to be passing comment on this site at the moment, I am increasingly getting annoyed with Sam Allardyce and his negative approach. I would even go as far to say that if we don't go up this season that Gollivan should sell the club and move on - their project for WHUFC will have miserably FAILED. Having read his recent, very frank interview I think David Sullivan will be the first to admit that..

I'm actually quite pleased with that draw today...

I think that either Reading or Southampton will screw it up - thanksfully there is still a lot of football to be played..

Reading have been on an unbelievable run and deserve their second place position for now, but they can't keep that run going for another ten games surely? They've won 9 out of their last 10 games! It will be impossible to keep that momentum going IMO....but we simply have to beat them at Upton Park - and I think we will!

Southampton have been really fortunate in the games I've seen them. The game against Leeds away recently was ridiculously fortunate - they literally had one shot on target vs. Leeds' 30. I'm not convinced they are all that. They have some difficult games coming up against teams in and around the play offs - i'm certain that against these teams we will see what they are made of.

What is also certain is we have to go on some sort of run of form ourselves, perhaps winning 7/8 out of the remaining fixtures. To do this we have to change our formation at home games to 4-4-2!!! It's plain to see that the reason we don't score enough goals is because the team is not set up to do so. We don't create enough chances!!

So...4-4-2 against Boro - if we don't win I will concede that we are destined for the play offs!

What a terrible line-up! I will happily eat my words if I'm proved wrong, but the team looks very weak up front. What the hell has Maynard done to deserve a place in the starting eleven?

I'll also be amazed if all 22 players stay on the pitch today - expect a rough ride at Elland road!

Sorry but this is absolute rubbish. I was at the game last night and hardly heard any booing. In fact, the crowd got right behind the team at every opportunity. The fans in the Trevor Brooking lower were really vocal and positive yesterday.

Perhaps the problem is that we just aren't that great - remember it's only 5 weeks ago since this team lost 5-1 to Ipswich away. We kept hitting loads of 'hit and hope' long balls up the pitch last night which was very disappointing.

Oh and Nolan must have been left in Cardiff because I didn't see him on the pitch last night.

A superb insight. Really enjoying the interview thus far, so thanks.

Poor discipline cost us 2 points today over our nearest rivals. Hopefully this won't cost us dear at the end of the season. Blackpool next and we need to win that game now - we can't afford to lose pace over the teams around us. Taylor and Nolan should have to earn their way back in to this West Ham team now!
