The players. Lots of individual mistakes. Lot of injuries. Loss of form to key individuals, Hudd and Livermore. Been a disjointed season so far.
Watching the Chelsea game, it's hard to see how anyone could think there's any major issue in the dressing room. Lot's of fire and spirit on show.
Don't panic now lads worry a bit at the end of January if we are in bottom 3, the stats don't really count from the end of last season because the team stopped playing in the league after we beat Sheffield Utd in the semi. In Bruce we trust
If you're going back 6 years we were 3rd, or joint top & 3rd on goal difference, the 16th of last season is our highest ever finish!
Could've been, but then so could I when I predicted the lottery numbers but didn't check to see if I was right!
Bruce hasn't lost the dressing room Savage on MOD reckoned we needed 6 pts from the 3 Chrissie games and I think he's bang on. I expected a relegation battle anyway
He hasn't lost the dressing room, it was a decent performance yesterday and there was no lack of desire. He's definitely made mistakes, we're generally too defensive, but yesterday was encouraging. Though we did still end up playing 4-6-0, which is never a good idea when you're 2-0 down. Ironically, it didn't hurt us as much as normal, at least we carried on attacking.
I think it could have been if Diame wasn't out injured, but with both of them out, we're running low on options, Meyler is okay but he hasn't got the talent of the other two.
man utd beat us 3-0. man utd beat liverpool 3-0. we drew with liverpool. we're as good as liverpool. that's a good place to be. nil desperandum, mr mainwaring.
