Stan the Man on Talksport has predicted we will finish bottom on 30 points and will be relegated along with Sunderland and Burnley on 32pts. Both Leicester and The Dramas to stay up and who can disagree. I thought they were doomed a couple of weeks ago but they appear to be up for the fight to survive and Slumberland and us don't.
Unfortunately I can see us Sunderland and QPR facing the drop unless we start showing a bit of passion .
It's the lack of fight/belief/desire - whatever it is - that really worries me. Our run-in is tough but i'd be confident if we were playing well. Everyone in and around the bottom (except possibly Sunderland) looks up for it more than we do.
if we play the remaining games like we played the 80 minutes against Chelsea, we have a fighting chance.
He is paid a **** load of cash to be contraversial he is a WUM, he tries to get you to phone in and disagree with him. I value his opinion slightly more than Adrian Durham - but not by much.
Lets hope we prove the dog lover wrong and for the record I think we are trying but we've left it until we are playing the better teams so even when you try you lose everybody says your not trying instead of them been better than us. We should have done better against the teams around us. One win can change the all outlook though.
That is if SB selects a side that can play with the passion and directness of the team that finished that game.
The problem is the current bottom 3 have been in the bottom 3 most of the season, so they are used to the notion of playing under pressure, they are all playing with a steely nothing to lose mentality. We're playing with a nervous, we've got everything to lose mentality. Unless the team shape up and put in some big performances, then we will finish in the bottom 3. Hard luck stories, we'll be fine, we're working hard won't wash anymore. We need application, desire, and points.
I've watched QPR, Lesta, Burnley,Villa and West Brom put in stunning performances recently - all be it highlights on MOTD. Lesta have performed with true grit , determination, desire , guts, skill and passion. Burnley the same. We have not apart from sporadic bursts. It seems players that leave here go on to perform better with new clubs ( Boyd, Ince, Cairney) after struggling here. There must be a reason. We have no fighters apart from McShane - no Ashbee figure - and are surely going to go down with merely a whimper. Make McShane the Captain. Get him to inspire the players with his determination to win something before we bury ourselves too deeply in the mire
Agree with you We just don't live in a positive City do we. When I mention things that are going to happen in Hull at work all I get get is who wNts to come to a **** hole like this Well some people like it and it's about time mentalities changed Jesus look at me being positive !!! Think I need a lie down
I really don't think we lack effort. We're just ****. Bereft of confidence which is understandable and we have no particular attacking threat. Elmo's crossing is probably our best bet for creating chances and even that isn't significant.
It's glaringly obvious there are many twist and turns to come. Teams grinding out points when they had no right and teams losing when they played brilliantly. I think city, sunlan, lester, qpr and burnley are all equally capable of going down. We'll see better with 3 games left. People worried about lester but they have tougher tests to come.Burnley are tough to beat but don't think they'll get another win. SUnderland are horrible won't get anything once they're behind and finally dramas are fighting probably the hardest out of the bunch but seem to be very unlucky. We have as much of a chance as anyone at this present time. Some results going our way and a weeks rest could play in our favour.
