It's actually the opposite, we have 4 games coming up that are free hits so whoever comes in has those 4 games to settle in. If they were coming in with a run of games like we have after these 4 then I would worry. We won't be relegated on the back of the next 4 results, it will be on the back of the following games after them. Burnley H Leicester A Swansea H Everton A West Ham H Middlesborough H Stoke A Watford H Southampton A Sunderland H Crystal Palace A
MP had the same win ratio after the same amount of games. And they were all 3 league games with only 12 players to make a patchwork team from.
WBA have been an established outfit for years, but we've never been at risk of losing players to them or others when in the PL. The only player we've really lost to a better side was Shane Long. The clear difference this year is that the first team situation is such a mess. The Allams have been a problem for years, but it's never affected the first team until recently. I can't believe anyone would seriously think that the way the club has been run since the summer isn't causing people to want to leave. Players who have proven they are capable of playing at this level and have earnt the right to be back here, such as Livermore and Snodgrass, have been completely stitched up in playing in a squad that was always obviously too small to compete. With no coaching staff. And the most half-arsed managerial appointment the PL has ever seen.
Really not sure why you're so determined to paint it as the players wanting out when none of them have spoken about wanting to leave, nor have they handed in transfer requests.

Chester, and also Myhill a few years ago. Difference is we were relegated and needed cash quickly on those occasions, so we wanted them to go.
That's as may be. But do you think Jake would reject the move if none of that had happened? Would he ****.
Wow you really aren't reading my messaged are you!!!?? I clearly state that DIO WILL BE PROBABLY BACKUP TO THE OTHER CHOICES!. And again just to spell it out, We have plenty of midfield options and we can't bloody play them all at the same time, but unfortunately we don't have that luxury up top hence why Dio is in my squad I posted.
****ing hell, how often does a player ever say that, or hand in a transfer request? It really shouldn't even be up for debate. We've been talking for months about whether Snodgrass would be off at the first opportunity and why wouldn't he? Why be dragged into the Championship by a club who are messing about trying to get by with 13 players when he can just go to West Ham?
