THREE games in six days. Ten goals conceded in three games. No win in five matches. Fourteenth place in the league. Out of one cup.

Arsenal was down to Joleon Lescott, Burnley was a blip, we never win at Fulham, and we just never took our chances against the negative Stoke and Wolves.
That was how we’ve been trying to reassure ourselves anyway.
