At least we didn't lose. So it looks like the board have decided that they will stick with CH for the rest of the season. I just hope they're right.
Well on a normal day I'd be disappointed to have drawn that game, especially after going in front, but with the conditions today I'll take it. But there are alarming errors from CH today( three same strikers on the bench and no midfielders) which I can't help feeling says his time is up! Why didn't he take Fer off when he was on a yellow in horrible slippery conditions? Oh yeh because the twat forgot to bring a midfielder with him !
The way that match went you'd say a point was a good one. Our injuries have completely limited our ability to rotate the squad over the Christmas period so you could just about understand if they are feeling it and not at 100%. Plus a blatant red card is missed, leading immediately to a penalty against us and to top it all off Fer gets sent off. In the end, a point is a good one. In the grand scheme of things, the loss against Fulham is what really ruined this festive period.
Well if CH is still in charge Monday morning (and that looks extremely likely now), that's it, we've got him for the rest of the season and IMO will be watching Championship football next season. Happy New Year everyone
We have a five point cushion over West Ham and six over Sunderland plus Cardiff now have the two Mancs and Hammers next up.I think our position is OK.
So, if Howson is still injured, what does he do now? Put Fox on the bench? Who hasn't had a competitive Prem level game for 18 months? Well done, Chris, you've done a wonderful job of rotating the squad to keep everyone fresh.
You go and watch Championship football then, I'd rather keep watching City in the Prem. There's no way on Earth that we'll be relegated!
If Yorkie had said that, I would be really worried as he has got to be the worst in the world at predicting anything, however it is noted and will be used against you if warranted
Next game might be awkward, but Tettey, Fer and Pilks will most likely all be back for the game after. The cup game could be interesting.
How? Did it make Fer give away the stupid penalty? Did it make Fer make that stupid lunge when he was on a yellow? Did it make CH change his tactics?
Won't Fer get only a one game ban and that will be the cup game? Could be worse Good point today I think, I'd have taken it at the start
Clearly, NCFC have decided that they are going to stick with CH. OK, happy clappers, you got what you wanted. See you in May.
I think ive missed something, we have 9 midfielders, 5 played 4 are injured, where is he going to produce additional midfielders from?
Thought Johnson has a really good game today. After missing the start of the season he has really started to find his form again. Probably a good thing as Fer seems to have lost the plot a bit of late. Is it just because he isn't used to this amount of football in a short amount of time or is there something more to it? All in all a really good point I think given how the game went. We have absolutely no right to turn up and expect to win games away from home in this league. People who think we do need to have a good hard look at where we were four years ago. Away at Wycombe Wanderers...
I couldn't give a damn about the Cup game. We're sleepwalking into relegation and half of this board seem perfectly happy to do that.
