Having had time to digest today's performance and then watch Swansea win, I think it's only fair to say that they have performed better than us in the last two games against better opposition and we deserve to be were we are today in the table. I was hoping to go to Crystal Palace next week to see us avoid relegation at their expense, but suspect it will the other way round now despite my optimism last Saturday night after our performance at Southampton. Hope I'm wrong.
Agreed. Fair play. But in truth, their likely safety is down to the almighty **** bomb that was the first half of our season. The real cause is namely the family Allam. Silva has been class. Never thought we'd reach 20 nevermind 30 pts. He's also elevated certain players into genuine assets that might, just might, give a new manager a chance to shape some sort of squad for next season as well as providing some sort of fighting fund. It's remote, but the Allams should act now: at least offer Silva a new contract whether we fall or not.
Before laying praise on a team that may have relegated us we should take a step back today and leave it till the summer. Right now I feel seriously ****ing pissed off!
I'm disheartened tonight feeling sorry for myself but gonna have a few beers tonight, typical how football is Silva unbeaten at home all them games and then we lose to the bottom of the league, let's see how things look next Sunday night, We didn't pressure Swansea by winning today so they went into the Everton game with a big lift, I know its now not looking to good but one slip up can change it again. One things for sure its ____ or bust next week we have to go their and win and then that still might not be enough.
ah so it was the Allams that picked the team? The same Allams that asked for permission before talking to the manager at his training ground? ah Im just making sure that you arent projecting your hatred into the wrong place.
There's the Allams, also the injuries from our first choice right back being out for the season in a pre-season friendly at Grimsby to losing our record signing for the season just as he was starting to play under the new manager. With the squad we have we couldn't afford that.
After the Palace defeat at lunchtime I was thinking how they would be papping themselves about next Sunday. Ultimately, if the worst comes to the worst, the January onward crew have given it as good a go as possible and the real creator of our situation will just bugger the club even more in the close season.... BUT.. who knows...
It was the Allams who created the situation so no manager of any standing would take the job. Just how many did they try to get and failed before they gave the job to the only bloke who would take it? I would say yes it was the Allams fault. Oh and they could have had Silva earlier but couldn't be arsed to even read his CV
Half the squad are loans, the rest are assets being linked with other Premier League clubs. I think the biggest loss/hardest sale to take will actually be Sam Clucas. In The Championship, we'd be lucky to see a squad of: -----------------McGregor---------------- Odubajo---Dawson--Davies---Tymon Elmo--Huddlestone--Mason--Grosicki -----------------Henriksen------------- -----------------Diomande-------------- Subs: Marshall, Bowen, Evandro, Meyler, Luer, Weir, Clark
Why did you have optimism after Southampton?? I said at the time it was two points dropped. And it was they were **** and there for the taking. Silva s bottled it at the crunch time of the season. Last wek and today.
