we are goosed. next game this, game after that. sound like political ****eeeeeeeeeee. champ here we come.
When you are in the position we are in, you need "roll up you sleeves and die for the cause" type of players. Right now we have a few flair payers that are great when you are in the ascendency, but right now we need warriors and our team does not have enough of this type of player. I love GD, and he can turn a game, but I think the team would get more overall contribution with someone else up there that will battle for every ball. The more I look at this squad, the more I think we are lacking In players that you need for a relegation scrap, which worries me - a lot We are still only a couple of wins from climbing a number of places, but.... Friday we need 3 points, no ifs, no buts!!! Problem is I am not sure we will get them, Norwich are a good team at home and a bit of a bogey team for us there.
It’s like kicking a can down the road. And so on to Norwich which now becomes the biggest game of the season...I think three wins from the next three is a bit unrealistic but if we don’t get 5, 6 or 7 points then...
Hopefully we won't be kicking the can down the road until the end of the season. I think we probably are 'in the ++++e' but it doesn't smell as bad as the Bassini years (ie. we've known worse). If we go down the Pozzo's may take a long hard look at their recruitment policy - they may actually plough some resources into getting a higher profile manager (as opposed to journeymen from the lower reaches of Serie A or La Liga). They may also think that rather than send 4 players of 4 different nationalities to us that it is better to do it in blocks (ie. all the same nationality, so they can help each other to adapt). It's also time to stop blaming luck in throwing so many injuries our way - this is mostly not lack but bad preparation.
Seen video of Deeney on the training ground scoring goals from outside the area. Sarr also seems to be making progress.
Sheffield United aside if we had the same results against the other 10 teams so far we would have 6 points
The teams who usually go down are the ones with a couple of wins and draws to begin with and then the wheels fall off just like Everton
Afternoon all. I have had some serious TELMEX issues recently. Our C. Slim tinternet provider. N E Ways back to where we belong and bottom AGAIN. GRIM. Do you think we can avoid relegation
I am starting to lose the faith, we create chances and don't take them. We never cause mayhem in the opposition box and force errors. Other teams seem to get a chance and bury it, or force errors from us by pressurising the ball, in and around our box. Today was imho a disaster...we have to put a run together!!
Havn't seen yesterdays match so don't know really went wrong after half time. If we don't double our points by the end of December we will not even be in a relegation battle. I am not sure what the problem is except for a total lack of confidence. We have good players, put together some good moves, pass generally well and the defense is better now. Injuries are an issue perhaps. No comment from QSF after the game and I wonder if he will go, a tad unfair I think and not great for the team to learn another new system when down. I wonder how the Pozzo's will play this as it not in there plan to get relegated, but if we keep the current squad I reckon we would bounce back next season. Have to keep the faith and keep supporting the team.
Well we don't score enough and rarely seem able to pley well for 90 minutes. Yesterday we were probably on top till they scored .. but we lost confidence and they played the game well.
I’m with you except for the ‘bouncebackability’ of our squad. The Championship is a monster that eats up newly relegated clubs. Funnily enough, one of the few to make that work recently was Burnley. By that I mean they took the money and ran, rebuilt with that money in the Championship, then came back fighting.
I think we are lacking a number 9. Troy has been turning into a number 10 for a while now, and Gray is just not up to spec. We need Welbeck fit asap, but apparently he is out “for months”. Hence, in answer to the title of this thread - yes.
