We were always going to be 2nd best in this game, but what really frustrated was the way we contributed to our own downfall. We gave the ball away far too cheaply (Barton particularly) and once again, didnt take our chances. Cerny kept the score respectable.

That early goal didn't help...! But have to say Rooney' the best player we have been up against, better than both Silva and Suarez that both where brilliant. His hold up play, movement and vision was something to behold. The gulf in class from what we've been used to for years is there for everyone to see. That said, this is not the games we should be looking to win, and a lot of what i've seen from Bolton, Wolves, B'burn etc. says that we're in with a good chance of staying up.

On to the players then. Both Barton and Faurlin we're miles away from being competetive enough. Faurlin' poorest performance since the promotion, so many missed passes he should hold his head in shame. He had several like Bartons pass for Carricks goal, only luck that none led to a goal against. And while we're on Carricks goal, how on earth can we let him run a good 60 yards unchallenged??? and let's not get started on Cerny contribution on the goal, should have been a easy save (that apart Cerny had another blinder).

Watching Boothroyd play is massively underwhelming, can not for the love of god see what he brings to the team that neither DJ or Taarabt can do.

Credit should go to Mackie who tormented Evra for 45 mins and Connolly who played well in the circumstances.

Another below par performance against a very mediocre Pompey

Disappointing result after a spirited second half performance. Need to be winning games against the Sunderlands of this division and certainly not losing at home (again). One win in 12 matches since our Sky win over Sheffield Utd and that was playing with two extra men. Some poor decisions on the line tonight and am wonderin is NW up to the task of the Premier League. Would love to see him succeed after prevoius failures but will have to deliver sooner rather than later. The transfer window can't come soon enough for our struggling Hoops.

Having just watched the game on TV I am sorry to say that the team is just not the same as it was 2 months ago. Despite the comeback to 2-2, the spirit, the belief we can win, its just not there anymore.

Warnock can no longer use the excuses of the past 3 months - new players, unlucky, silly mistakes etc.

The sad truth is that he is out of his depth in the Premiership. The limit to his abilities is the Championship - where he is very good indeed. The Premiership exceeds his capabilities.

The transfer window could bring another set of Warnock hopefuls who just dont perform. Like Bothroyd, Puncheon, Dyer, Wright Phillips and even Barton is not performing anywhere near the expected levels. The only two decent signings were Young and Ferdinand. We dont need more duff signings that we will be saddled with for 2 or 3 years.

Tony F has some difficult decisons to make over the coming days. If the next 3 games do not bring at least 5 points, then this should bring a close to the tenure of NW. A couple more losses and we will be is big big trouble!

If Taarabt starts on the bench next game then thats a sackable offense!
He should have started tonight as well after his positive cameo against Man Utd. Great to see him back to his best, if he stays and keep on playing like this then he'll be our best "signing" this january.
Great and well deserved goal for Mackie but overall, like SWP it's just to much hit and miss for my liking.
Great comeback but overall S'land deserved their win.

It's actually one win in thirteen, if you count the home league cup loss this season.
Couldn't believe the team when I heard it, smacked of cowardice.
Other than HH the two players most likely to grab us a goal are Adel and DJ so why are they sitting on the bench?
Handed the initiative to Sunderland.
Warnock picked a team not to lose rather than a team to win.

Yes Nov 77. Warnock is losing the plot, in fact he might have lost it!

Once again he has used the excuse of the other team getting 'out of prison'.

His Gaffer report on the QPR web site really sounds like a man with no ideas. He has only himself to blame. He seems to think the transfer window will cure all our ills. It might help to strengthen the squad a little but is he able to coach and motivate the team better than he has done over the past 10 games? I think not.

Tony F is asking us to 'keep the faith'. I AM TRYING! But even the faithful must question their leaders when they are not performing as leaders should.

Trouble is, if NW goes, who the heck is good enough and available to step in?

Big changes needed in attitude, tactics, team spirit & players performance. Changes that must take place before the next match

No boos please, just cheers for the next 3 games. The team needs our support.

Very, very disappointing result. I fully understand the need to not hype up matches but this, along with the Bolton, Wigan, Newcastle and West Brom matches, was one we needed and could have got 3 points from. Yet again...what a waste!
Prime objective must be to stop the opposition scoring, so we must strengthen the defence, which was weak at the start of the season and is still weak now.

So, so, disappointing. We set up with a formation not to lose, but were carved open far too easily. We look slow defensively and devoid of attacking ideas - apart from HH. We really need to be more positive at home and go for the win. We looked much better with Barton out of the middle when Taarbs came on.

And then, after all the hard work to get ourselves back in the game, we seemed to sit back and invite them on. You can't defend from corners (although there's were much better than ours) like we did and expect to win! Poor performance and pi55 poor result at home - again!
