Rafa came out with some tosh claiming our home woes were due to the opposition being harder to break down as they play more defensively. Erm, was he even at the Fulham game??

To be fair most managers don't admit their failings. Rafa is no different. They pick and choose their times to say its my fault. Normally its blatantly when its not their fault, but the fault of an individual. They try to deflect.

Its not he fact he uses teams being harder to break down as the excuse for me. Its that its almost like saying "well if teams play defensively/well, then we're ****ed because I haven't got a clue how to solve that problem"

Its kinda of his job really <laugh> What's worse is that his solution appears to be a 19 game bluff.

Pre game - "I'll just keep doing the same thing because they are bound to think we are going to change it."
Post game - "Bastards, they didn't fall for it"

Sounds like Nev in the mafia games:

Pre game: "It's a new game lads and this time I really am innocent town, honest"
End of day 1. "Bastards!"

Genuine prediction, 7-1 win. Gayle to score 4 or 5 and return to top goal scorer. We will tear Wigan apart and make a statement
 
I fear the statement we will make is..... 'we still cannot win at home... please have 3 points'.....
 
Murphy and Clark out, and maybe Hayden back.

Although the first 2 are a concern, they actually never played at the start of the season when we went on our first winning run, could we resurrect that team again? Rafa seems to not like Mbemba at all, but maybe it's time for him to come back rather than Hanley.
