    Can’t be giving teams head starts, awful run coming up, usually try to be optimistic but I think that’s that in terms of the top 6 now time to blood in the lads that need minutes for next year

    Hindsight is an easy thing but maybe too many tactical changes for a team with only 5 days time learn a new system. Hopefully clearer next week.

    We are weak as piss and teams know they just need to get stuck in to get a result.

    Jobe is untouchable and Ba must be like Messi in training wherever he plays. Utter ****.

    We looked better second half but Swansea had sat back. Our tempo was better though and at least there was a response

    0 points from games against Huddersfield, Birmingham and Swansea. We just aren’t good enough. Dreading the rest of the season.

    How many times do we still have a chance in games at the very last minute after gifting the opposition anything from 30 minute spells to whole halves of the game?

    I know that plenty of it has to do with momentum and opposition intensity dropping when in the lead, but it's also infuriating that we can't just be competitive for 90 minutes even when we're not good.

    Even in being better, there was an element of fortune - I think Ba, Rusyn, Styles, Mundle and Rigg all found themselves on the right at some point in the game.

    The season is pretty much done now, we need to use it to figure out exactly what we have and how we can play that suits us. This will give us a head start on the transfer market in the summer.

    Probably found our level as a mid table side with a few match winners, when they are missing the squad looks exposed.

    Mid table finish for the first time in a while

    Lucky old Stoke, their season isn't finished ...

    ... still a lot to play for.

    Millwall 34 -14 36
    QPR 34 -13 35
    ------------------------------
    Stoke 34 -17 35
    Sheff Wed 34 -25 32
    Rotherham 34 -36 19

    "Stoke's players and manager were booed by their supporters at the final whistle ...

    ... as they slumped to a sixth defeat in seven and slipped into the relegation zone."

    Didn’t see that coming and hate to say it but the coach takes the blame for that. First half was a shambles should have been 5-0 down. Saying that players need to remember how to run again KTF things can only get better

    I said I looked. I didn't say it was a possibility :emoticon-0148-yes:
    And I'm talking about lots of years not the last 4 :emoticon-0172-mooni <laugh>

    I mentioned the other day something about being in a position to give the likes of Beale (up and coming manager) a chance at managing us.


    But that doesn't stop you looking around the table.
    My concern atm is how far we drop and what players we lose because of it or what players we also fail to bring in.

    4 points from the last 15 available. I'm a supporter of the club and can sort of see what the club is trying to do, but that's an absolutely shocking return. We peaked in the first leg of the playoffs last season and have seemingly lost all intent since full time. Now ofcourse I'm not comparing us go the likes of the 3 teams that came down loaded, but I like others thought we may have "kicked on" abit more. I'm sure it'll all work out in the end, but for me we're a million miles away from the likes of the PL etc. All of course in my opinion. Folk will say, "we had this chance and that chance in this game and that game", however we just lack so much infront of goal.

    Get over it, Alex Niel isn't there anymore.

    Oh wait, I keep looking at their position and laughing too :emoticon-0148-yes: <laugh>

    Jobe was a bit part player for a bang average Birmingham team last season. Hes 18 years old, id love to know the reason why he walks into our starting lineups week in week out.
