Not this season the way we're going. Especially when we start taking our forwards off to replace them with midfielders who've barely got any game time in recent weeks / months. But the main reason is we can't get a shot on target regardless of who we play. Our best bet at scoring is some fluke own goal, because it won't be one of our players putting it past the opposition keeper.

My above post is a little harsh on Coulibaly who I've not seen enough of yet. Oh and the manager can be the second to leave, (after Rudkin!)

I can see it being hard to keep hold of Bilal if ... sorry when we get relegated, but he's someone I'd prefer we keep. Fatawu too, even coming off a big injury. Still have a soft spot for Pereira (and if I'm honest N'didi too). Vardy might still offer something in the championship, but for the amount we'd save on his wages we may be better investing elsewhere. (Sad as it is to say that). I'd love to keep Mads but think that's even more unlikely than Bilal. Rest can do one. Whatever we can get for them. Rebuild, focusing on young, hungry raw diamonds, who we can sell on for huge profits and won't be on a high wage. Hope we go back at first time of asking, a leaner, younger, but hungrier team, who'll give a much better account of themselves than the shambles we have there now.

We should start preparing for next season by playing the kids as others have said on here. They can't be worse than whatever team we put out each week, and they might surprise everyone by playing with a freedom and confidence lacking in our regular starters.

Not sure we can even manage that this season! Especially since RVN took over.

We might win a game .... next season

We're not even that good.

Look on the bright side. Southampton might beat us to 20th, so it's possible we won't be bottom like you thought.

Rudkin may be very fond of our club, but that doesn't make him any good at his job. I also seem to remember reading Maresca said he wanted us to employ people to "help" Rudkin with his job when he was here with us.

While I was alive (just) when he played for us, I was too young to appreciate football back then. I'd have to take your word on it.

Hermansen Okoli, Coady, Thomas Pereira, Winks, Ndidi, Woyo Buonanotte, Khannouss Vardy My suggestion anyway.

Not true. We rarely complete a pass.

Ricky P on for a couple of mins and already had a shot on goal...

Winks about to come on. I'd prefer Buonanotte too.

Damn

Another touch in their box!

I remember going to Villa Park back in 2007 in the cup, completely one sided game with us defending for 89 mins of the game. Then Matty Fryatt stealing the win. Sometimes you don't need to be on top to nick it.

Need to be better with our passing when we have chances, but I'd have taken goalless at half time, and we've had a half decent chance. Mad > Sanchez who looks vulnerable if we can get a clear chance. Clutching at straws but I'm hoping the headline is the difference in keepers as we steal something unlikely here. (Now watch them score in the first 3 mins of second half and we loose 3 nil after all).

Like the legend who is Franz Carr!?! What a player he was ...

Lost me at the bit when you said having a shot ....

I bet he makes no changes over half time, and eventually when we do make changes it'll be either like for like, or all attacking subs on around the 86th minute when we're already 3 or 4 down.

Too cross to post anything meaningful. Can't believe how badly we're playing.... Actually the sad truth is I can ....

Tried writing a reply to this about 10 times now, but words fail me. This could be a very long evening.

Buonanotte over Ayew??? Surely not

Surely we'd go for Frank De Boer?
