Dipped into Twitter in the last 24 hours and don’t miss the thirst for rage. We’re all gutted and it was rubbish but no room for context or reason with a lot of people.

Disappointing certainly. I do think the amount of games, and the intensity of them, caught up with us yesterday. Will be different by Fulham.

Yesterday was bad but we’re broadly as good as it gets at home. A week off too. I expect normal service to resume.

Forest and Chelsea have fixtures you can see them slipping up in. And naturally neither can ‘win out’. I’m ruling out Man City and Newcastle, they’ve gone. My gut tells me we do enough to get 6th and come away with 9-10 points from the remaining games.

Only thing that can really change is Conference League will go to 7th rather than 8th if Palace win the FA Cup. Stay in 7th and I think it’s fairly certain. Would also be stunned if Newcastle miss out on top 5 now. Either way, we’ll do enough to get something. Just depends on which one.

I think Europe is basically sewn up but you’re right if we want UCL. Or even Europa League. I hate to say it but I think Palace fans outdid us yesterday too. Villa fans oddly flat even before it started going wrong. And didn’t think much of our pre-match stuff.

It’s tough to take for sure. Our schedule has been insane since Preston, though. We’ve had some incredible performances against really good teams. This week has been about managing what’s left in the players and it hasn’t been enough. Expect a big bounce back against Fulham with the week off.

Agree on the first one today. It goes down the middle.

A lot of mitigation. Injuries meant we didn’t have a settled back 4 until Feb at least. Problem is we give up big chances early in games. Chances of him saving things are low, although last couple of games he’s been off. Also think he plays through the pain barrier.

Inviting others to step up. Iconic stuff.

Mind games from Asensio. So clever.

I’m not sure you know. 34k tickets. Plenty of season ticket holders skipped those cup games. Less important but won’t be able to sit next to my dad who’ll be getting his Friday morning.
