DAILY - News, Interest, Rumour & Transfers.

Nothing false about it, but I agree, we need to start winning games, or at least picking up points, not quite a time for worry, but , with the teams below starting to improve we need to as well, if we don’t we could be sucked in.

 

If the division stays as inconsistent as it has been, we will definitely be in a relegation scrap, along with probably 8-10 other teams. Conversely, if that happens we will also be 2-4 wins from the play-offs. It’s already looking like goal difference will be crucial this season, it could easily be the difference between a couple of league positions at the death.

 

A loss today at Boro and I think we will be in soft warm and smelly and worse played more games..
I think the pressure is on..

 

I don’t disagree, although better to have points in the bag, the more worrying thing is lack of momentum, a win today is needed.

 

absolutely was going to mention that but been too busy with catching up other things to keep up [ reading replies etc ] we could be well in the mire by 5pm firework night.

looking at table and seeing comments of managers various there does seem to be an equality of teams, now whether that is of quality average or crap one has to to decide for themselves.
NP's spoutings would seem to say we are short of best Q so average ... so inclination is there is about 14 of average ilk

 

Hard to disagree tbh. Pearson had had us perilously close to the drop zone throughout his tenure. I can’t believe SL is happy with that. Especially when he fired a previous manager for not making the top 6..

 

5 Million ain't worth anything like that on current form.

 

Last season before his injury I would have expected more, but currently I think I'd snap their hand off at 5m

 

sell and weaken the future .... we had a good run with NW and Conway with AW ... A GOOD UNDERSTANDING .. and goals NP then tries to better it and PoooooooooooooooooooF all goes up in smoke.

He stated many times if players can do it have the right mind and right results then they will be on the sheet .... how do you destroy that faith .. simple change the rules and play on their mind ..negatively .. 10/10 NP for that! RESULTS PLUMMETED AS DID GOALS

 

Seems like, either he's not being coached correctly or he doesn't want to listen....I watch him and sometimes think he plays for himself rather than for the team...hero shots at goal, plays too deep rather than maybe looking for the tap in.. Good player, just needs tweaking imo

 

QUITE OFTEN certain players do better at what they "think" they are good at and find it hard to become to a rigid regime ... quite a few [ comments from their managers ] " he is allowed a bit of a free reign ... up front/ on the wing / going deep to get the ball etc .... "

Maybe NP should try 4 - 3 - 4 [ sort of flexible to 4 - 3 - 2 - 2 ]

conway and semenyo up front Nakhi and Weimann behind them but wide!

 

Personally I like Weimann up front, he knows where the goal is....I don't actually think Semenyo is a striker, likes to run with the ball.. need to find a way of accommodating players of what they do best....I'm not sure we are...maybe in training, which we don't see, it's totally different

 

He’s scared to get injured for the WC. Watch him he’s not as adventurous in charging down and being bullish on the ball. He’s also being marked closer like Swansea game they were scared of him (even though he showed no signs of bullying their defence). Once he was subbed they came out at us more.
When he comes back he will be over the fear and start being his normal irritating self again.

 

I wonder if it’s that, or he’s not confident his injury is behind him, either way I agree he seems to be holding back.
