Mate, at the weekend we effectively tried to play an aerial game with Hoilett (apparently!!) up front against what looked like a basketball team from Stoke. Man City have more chance of winning the PL than we have of surviving. We are just not good enough. I wonder if we are actually competent for the Championship.
A lot of players have let us down this year, but does that mean they are ****? If we hold any hope of being promoted (if a miracle doesn't happen) in the next couple of season, we have so forget who didn't play well this year, and whoever stays we give them a clean start and our support. Personally I hope we keep most of the team, because eventually the players we keep will start to see this as their home. Unfortunately this team has suffered due to the failings of a badly run club for many years. Can you really blame the players who bought in to the QPR plan and MH's bullshit? I think most of our new signings probably fell apart in week one after being beaten by Swansea. But if we got rid of everyone and started again, we could be waiting another 16 years. Better to keep most and try and build some spirit and stability. I know the plan is to keep samba and build around him. That's a good start as we lacked an obvious captain when we were promoted. Start from there and hopefully we can bounce back. But I think trying to replace the whole team, again, would just be carrying on the same mistakes again. The money we've spent really isn't the reason we've failed, it was trying to replace everyone in one go. So I hope we give them another go, because I think if promoted, with a new found team spirit, the same players could do the job they failed so miserably this time, they just need some confidence that they never knew this year.
We can blame the Welsh idiot, but not really the players. The TEAM didn't perform. Messi would have struggled for us this season. Remy is much better than we have seen (I believe). I am an annoying optimist, but we are down. I was numb on Saturday (even before the game), mildly cheerful on Sunday and now just thinking about being positive for next season. Trust me - let it go. After months of feeling pony, being stressed out, rowing with the Mrs and drinking too much, I have let it go. Bliss. Try it!
I'm with you Wubba and it'll be like a home game for us Northerners! Boro, Leeds, Barnsley, Donny, Huddersfield, Sheff Wed and Sheff Utd.
We were so shocking on Saturday. I actually think we have a good squad of quality players but there's something major lacking. Harry hasn't made any impact at all judging by the way we played on Saturday. We need a major overhaul over the summer and learn how to play football as a team and introduce some team spirit and most importantly, fight.
Keep up Stamford...SWP is out for season, had surgery on his ankel a few weeks ago....No news of Jenas...
SWP has just had an op on his ankle, think I read he is out for the rest of the season. Jenas exclusion from the whole squad surely meant he was sick or injured.
