We keep hearing that there is usually a team dragged into the relegation struggle and all indications are that it's us. We must be bottom of the form league at the moment. We have (apart from Norwich which most of you seem to think is a guaranteed 3 points) some tough games coming up where we will be fortunate to get a total of 2 points from. I think the Norwich game has draw written all over it. We are playing players out of position, you all know this so I need not go on. Our best outfield player is a Spurs player. We must be the worst team to watch in the league. We seem to have everything in place to do well. Again, I don't need to list them, so why do we continuously make it so difficult. Those at the top seem to be doing well by us (Ellis, Byrne and previously Niall) so the blame can't lie there. MON is a proven manager who we all were over the moon with when he joined. The team has got good players so why do they almost always underperform. The support is fantastic. The only two things I can come up with are that Robertson and MON was a partnership that worked but MON alone isn't so good (like Cloughie and Taylor maybe) The other thing is our scouting network (if we have one) We are seeing things being put in place in Africa and Belgium for the future but we seemed to have spent a huge amount (£140million I heard on the tv) over the last 4 years and we have little to show for it. The 2 best were quite cheap (Mig and Sess) and Jimmie Mac was bought for next to nothing. Where was he on Saturday by the way? injured? banned? I reckon we will scrape survival this season by either 1 point or even goal difference but it should be so much better.
Poor transfer windows and an actual lack of football philosophy on how we want our club to play and sticking with it. I am so jealous of how Swansea play and are run, they are the perfect model football club for anyone outside the top 4. I think the big thing is squad size, if you looked at our depth at QPR, 6 subs (5 defenders) so nothing to change the game, signs of a struggling team and relegation candidate, I honestly blame MON for this allowing players to leave etc, sorry but hes not blameless.
The team look void of confidence and ideas, the supporters have forgotten how to back the team and the manager looks like he is carrying the world on his shoulders...I just feel there is a huge cloud of negativity hanging over the club at present, and we will never prosper until this is lifted..
Thing is mate what s there to be positive about , the negativity around the club is going to be there when the club is in the position it is,we're what 9 games away from a possible relegation every one knows this and for the players they won't have much of summer holiday if there looking for a new club so there gunna be feeling the pressure, so is oneil ,and also the fans negativity rubs off on everyone . Basically we as a club are in a bad place ATM but all this could have been avoided
The negativity is started by MON and his boring tactics and ****e results, no matter how much we get behind the team they will still be negative and play to avoid defeat at all costs, because that's MON's style and it won't be changing.
going wrong by paying over the odds for rubbish. The scouting system must be dreadful. We get johnson and DGB for about 15 million and mags get sissoko for next to nowt. What about looking french or german instead of paying too much for mediocrity. In addition, it's just dull negative boring to watch .
