At what point do we admit we are in a relegation battle?

Goals drying up has more to do with Charlie's injuries than sacking Ramsey. We're a blunt instrument without a striker with talent.

Ramsey patently did not have the innate abilities to make a successful manager. I think JFH does, and he has my full support. A decent striker purchased or on loan during January would be welcome.

 

Fer and Henry can go so far as I'm concerned. JFH has to get the very best out of the rest - it's part of what being a good manager is about

 

I foresee a mid table drift, with no squad or individual development for the rest of the season. Great.

 

But the facts don't support this. We lost Austin earlier in the season under Ramsey but we still scored plenty of goals, mainly from Jet. I am quite sure Ramsey is a good Head Coach. He was doing OK. We are lower in the League now than when he was sacked, and probably will be still lower when the round is fully played.

 

We scored some goals without Austin, but our defence was really poor under Ramsey, and dramatically improved when NW came in. Austin just has that cutting edge. It's somewhat ironic that we kept Austin to help us achieve promotion, when in fact, his last act for us may be to save us from relegation.

As you say, we have dropped in the league after going upwards with NW - JFH is inexperienced at this level but if he has potential, we have to bear with him. This is a survival season, I think

 

Roger Rabbit up front would cause any defence problems!

 

100 runs in a single test session I've always used as a benchmark for good batting but to do it in half a session is just something else. Drinks break? The S Africans need a stiff whiskey after that.

Opps. Getting so excited I put it in the wrong thread. crucify me at your leisure folks.

 

Erecting the cross and getting out the nails as I write.

 

I deserve it but I'll go happy with what going on at Newlands.

 

Thankfully, the bookies have us no where near relegation.
Despite my earlier post about the points average, I think we will be comfortably mid table. There are eight teams below us an four teams only one win away above us.
I think we'll be fine but nothing exciting at all.

 

I think using the old manager JIM SMITHS famous battlecry simplicity is genius
in FERDINAND we have another ray willkins ,although les is ellequentaly spoken he dosnt have a clue he just puts his mates in charge and will stay in charge probably untill the end of the season untill he gets sacked then he can take andy sinton, hasseilbink, cris ramsey and the whole amazing thing with him
then hopefully we will install a manager who has some experience in the top two divisions then maybe we will be able to beat brentford
