I love a bit of back and forth on here, and I know we are absolutely atrocious right now on the pitch.

 

But having been through everything we've experienced in the last 9 years how can you not hold out just a tiny bit of hope?

 

Yes I saw us against Liverpool

 

But I also saw us stay up against the odds in 2015.

 

It's not over until its over, and sure come back and have a go if we lost 8-0 to Newcastle, but we have a chance of staying up however much we don't deserve it.

 

Or if that doesn't motivate you enough because you hate the club, consider this - we have a chance to send Leeds, Forest or Everton down. 

I don’t hate the club - I could never hate the club - I’m intensely indifferent to the players and staff atm 

I hope I can re connect next season 

 

it wouldn’t concern me if Everton and Leeds lost their last two games and we shithoused a last minute winner v West Ham - you get what you deserve over 38 games. 

 

but to compare the squad of 2014/15 and this lot is an insult - vards must go home and punch the wall every evening ……

Just had a text from club which has now persuaded me to make the trip on a Monday night to see us relegated.

Thanks club...

Agree re Souttar given the size and physical presence of the Newcastle strikers. I cannot see Evans being dropped.  I think Mendy and KDH could work but I doubt that the manager will move the selection that far but it hasn't been working with the others we are way too open.. Certainly we need players that can track back and defend when necessary and I think they could do that. Iheanacho would be great because it gives the goalkeeper someone to aim at that can potentially hold the ball up and press a bit. Barnes in place of Kristiansen.

...wanted to go 4-3-3, but the players are much too fragile and nervy!!!

               Iversen 

Ricardo Faes  Evans Souttar Castagne 

 Tete.     Mendy. Praet  Barnes

                 Vardy

We have to look at this as a game we cannot afford to lose, we may not have to win it, but we cannot afford to lose it.

  We play on the counter,  everyone backing each other up. We stay in the game, even if we take the lead, we hold the same formation, no temptation to drop off or camp in our box.

  We have the fire power to hit them on the break, we need to use it.

[Speedwell 🦊]

This definitely is a MUST WIN

[Blue-fox]

Knowing Leicester we will Nick a 2-1 win here and get absolutely destroyed by West Ham reserves at home

If we lose to Brighton then we'll be extremely nervous facing you. We'd need two wins for top four and wouldn't surprise me if pressure gets the better of us. 

 

 

It did us, twice.

That’s exactly what I was thinking today. The second CL chase. Newcastle, under Bruce came to the KP. Atrocious form. We should’ve beaten them. We collapsed to 4-0 (finishing 4-2) and Newcastle got the result of their season. 
 

We see the performance against Liverpool/Fulham and think WTF. These ****s have been collapsing for 4 years. It’s just this year they didn’t have the application to get enough points when the pressure was off.

Absolutely no chance …….we will be 3 or 4 down by HT

[josh]

I just want Smith to try something different. If we setup with another 433 with a midfield that can’t run then we’ll get what Smith deserves. To keep trying the same setup which clearly isn’t working is just dense, no matter “how well the lads have trained”. I have a little sympathy in that the squad simply aren’t fit enough but putting an unfit Youri in a three is suicide. 

[Simonb]

All out attack.. can't defend anyway

[STUHILL]

We will start well. They will score around 30minutes. Our players will give up. We will lose 4-0.

I can't offer a team for this. It's impossible to write one down that doesn't contain complete wasters or absolute shit. 

The last few games I've been wanting to get a team of players together that relegation truly jeopardises, in the faint hope you can get some fight from it. I can't even put together an XI. I have no interest in these players. I hope when they all **** off from here they crash and burn.

I’m in the USA until next Tuesday. I missed the Liverpool game but my wife and two of my kids were there and I was told it was dire. I would have been there and probably Newcastle away. Am I sorry I’m not there?Probably not, which says it all really. 
Death by a thousand cuts.

Time to look forward to next season and rebuild. Every club does it, unfortunately we will will be in the Championship. 
We need to make the right appointment, that is the key.

[melrose]

Have we got the testicles to give it a go?

No sign of that lately to be honest

If it was a year ago I could possibly see Newcastle choking. Luckily for them I really do think we're 'that' bad so they'll get away with it.

I think you need a shitter version of this for the analogy to work. 

 

One last ‘thai orgy’ is what i’m going with.

play counter attack and I can see us shithousing a win. Massive call to leave out both Madders and Youri but just feel both have checked out and no longer playing for the collective cause.
