Ugh, another bad result for us. Tenth Premiership defeat in 19 games - we have no chance of Europe now, to be honest. We really had to beat Bolton or at least get a draw because they were one of the teams that we should be looking to beat since they will be around the European places like us. Lost 2-0, I heard Dunne made a mistake and if its true then we really need another decent centre back. If it is true, then its disappointing because both Dunne and Distin have been making mistakes this season quite regularly and we NEED to stop making these stupid mistakes. Perhaps playing Onuoha would have been better because Dunne was not 100% match fit anyway. Its disappointing how we lost and our next game is against Wigan in the FA Cup 4th round and it may be best if we lose that match so we can concentrate on the league! We need to concentrate on just finishing in the top half in my opinion, because if we continue losing like we have done we will finish just above the relegation zone. Pearce really needs to bring in a couple of decent players in this transfer window and some more in the summer to complete our squad and we can look to next season to getting into Europe. This season is looking quite grim, because Wigan are six points ahead now, we are in pretty bad run apart from the Manchester Derby win and Bolton are five points ahead with two games in hand. Blackburn have also taken over us in the points so its not looking that positive for Europe to be honest.
