We've not got any centre halves with any pace at all. It's why we end up playing Justin.
-
We went a midfielder down in January and then another one got a bad injury. Now we're losing other midfielders to injury as we can't rotate them effectively. But anyone who pointed out these concerns was given the usual scorn on here.
-
Without any shadow of a doubt. I really fear we have got Tottenham syndrome which becomes a self-fulling prophecy. It becomes reputational.
-
You can mix the days of the acca but nothing in play. It is utterly infuriating losing on the shorter legs (my three I'm banging on about were the shortest priced team I had each time) but I think you start to realise how frequently the underdog does actually go ahead. I've got four today. Lets see which 1/12 shot (got my eyes on you Olympiakos) blows this.
-
I think Rangers (1/8), Chesterfield (1/5) and Panathinaikos have now cost me a combined £800 in the last week. I've landed 5 underdogs going ahead out of 8 as well and so far pocketed bugger all. That to me just rank bad luck, really bad variance.
-
I fail to believe there is a country this big on football where the refereeing is this consistently bad. We have to be pound for pound the worst there is.
-
Yep. Compare it to our pathetic efforts. Two injury time winners but a hell of a lot more against us late on despite our superior squad.
-
It's been a shambles for years. There's just been so much overreach in the first place that people can't bring themselves to admit it. We're not a well run club.
-
We've become obsessed with all of the things that we've proven ourselves don't matter. Spent that long looking into Spurs that we've become a worse version of them.
-
Got to be pound for pound one of the worst signings we've made.
-
Don't agree with 3-5-2 being the answer. Back three is the start of the slippery slope to being habitually negative and I don't even see how we have the personnel either. Inverting wing backs on both sides against sides who'll park the bus against us is ridiculous. My worry on Maresca is seems to have just tried to exactly replicate Man City's system of last season with our squad and stuck to it at all costs.

This will be a Laurence Dallaglio moment

Know what you mean. I cannot resonate with it one bit. -
If there's ever a time for him to come in it has to be now. If he doesn't start at Sunderland he should be out the door.
-
Shite. This isn't a tough place to go to.
-
Hate feeling like this going into games again. Completely lost faith that we'll deliver and fear the worst. Do feel like these are one of the better sides we could be facing on this game though, in bad form themselves and in borderline turmoil.
-
Concerned at the ease in which a pretty limited, but organised side has shut us out of the game. Concerned that we look almost overly coached. I'm a fan of his and I'm not near to wanting him out, but if he does oversee a collapse and a failure to go up then I think he's got to go.
-
welcome to the house of fun. I dodged us completely. I had quite a bad feeling about that game. Sods law I landed some juicier picks in Portsmouth (8/11) and Sheff Weds (5/4) but the 1/8? Nothing.
-
I'm absolutely astounded at my luck on this. So I bag 8/1 and 9/1 winners last night yet get let down by the ****ing 1/8 in Rangers just to win!!! They've wrecked my Valencia acca as well which also paid out. There really is nothing close to a banker anymore. I never thought it could be this hard just to pick four winners.
-
7 goals conceded in 3 games. Regularly conceding late goals. We're definitely not as solid as we thought we were - even at this level. Really am fed up of being let down. Really does feel like our mantra as a club in the last four years is falling short. Just how do you recover the blow of bottling this?
-
I am absolutely shocked that the fact we came out of January weaker in numbers in midfield than we went into it with has led to overplaying and injuring players. The ownership can go for me as long as they unconditionally back this bloke.
-
I could forgive Middlesbrough as a bit of a freak. I could forgive Leeds for the most part, even despite the now habitual collapse at the end of the game I conceded that tactically we'd played it well for the most part. But when you accumulate those and a loss at home to QPR I'm getting seriously twitchy. I've seen this play out too often with us. 1/50 we were to get promoted and yet now it has all the hallmarks of another spectacular collapse, and if it plays out, quite honestly I have no idea where we go as a club. The performance was absolutely dire. The worst of the season. What's most concerning about it to me is that QPR didn't have to do anything particularly special. I thought they defended resolutely, they closed off our passing lanes, and hit us whenever they could - pretty basic tactics and it worked a treat, with a vastly inferior team to what we could name. You're seeing the flaws of Enzoball play out here. We have looked scintiliating at times this season - but to be honest, we ****ing should. We have the biggest advantage over 80% of this division than any side has had in my lifetime. That's the brutal nature of suffering a relegation as catastrophic as ours. The onus is on us. The expectation should be high. Yet I can't help but think after today that playing a fairly conventional system would probably have us yield a similar points tally. I've struggled to shake that feeling for a lot of the season. We're in a real battle now and I've seen how this club reacts to this in recent times. It just sickens me having witnessed what we did in 2016, and 2014 not too far before, how we've become the bridesmaid in these things. I can totally see us blowing it now and I can't believe I'm saying this. I've had concerns about our big game record for a lot of this season but I've sort of shrugged it off because we've been ruthless against the rest. Well even that's falling now. Please do not let this be another catastrophic error. It will take some severe picking up the pieces if it ends up being.
-
Same as what I said a week ago. We are flaky. Our heads go. We absolutely can **** this.
-
Will be injury time no doubt. Nobody on the script mentioned a red card.

Done six in total for the weekend, mixed a few of them up on different accas, but gone for... Saturday Valencia v Real Madrid Braga v Estrela Sunday Koln v Leverkusen Man City v Man Utd Anderlecht v Eupen Sporting v Farense Do as you please with them. Reckon at least one of them has to have a lead at any point. Farense I don't really fancy, but the odds on them are so ridiculously high (20/1) that I just can't leave it. Usually don't like to go below 7/1 as a rule of thumb but however in Valencia v Real Madrid I'll make an exception as Real Madrid have quite a history of struggling there. In-fact Valencia have held a lead in that fixture in 6 of the last 8 seasons. Good luck anybody else if you bother!

Reckon this'll be 1/2-0 to us. They've become pretty tough defensively under Cifuentes.
