So the players are the problem that have gone from mid table first 25/30 games to relegation fodder that can barely win a game.
Meanwhile Southampton have gone from below us at the end of January to potentially getting promoted in a total reverse of fortunes.

What happened there did they just decide to start playing well?

 

Oxford have been on a good run, as have West Brom, and Blackburn of late. What could be a common factor in these teams that have all been worse than us for the majority of the season start picking up points.

 

The point being that people talk like we have been this shit all season. When the reality is it’s taken a capitulation in form and 6 point deduction 

 

Yup Southampton have better players than us, not players that have got two eyes on there next move.

 

Oxford, Blackburn, West Brom and Pompey have players that actually give a shit, give there all and play as a team all three things we lack which is curial especially in a relegation battle.

 

We have had to play the same full backs and wingers all season because we don't have any other players capable of stepping in never mind a weak GK and no clinical striker, what the **** are you expecting the manager to do perform a miracle 

 

Loan players have added nothing apart from James but even he has been out injured to much.

Basically just said we're down if we don't beat Pompey on RL

The fact is any credible manager would not even contemplate coming to a club like lcfc nowadays . Maybe a few years back might have been different but under this regime and predicament  we are only going to get this standard of coaches/ manager just job hunters. I think that unless there is a complete upheaval from (TOP) to bottom  we are a club that will disappear and that’s a shame! I have enjoyed some good times following this club and checking results  with a passion  but for me that passion has been draining away periodically and it has now completely gone so a big thanks to lcfc for taking away my love of the game .

So let me get this right 

we have worse players that all the teams mentioned, yet spent 29 games above them.

You then ask me “am I expecting the manager to preform miracles by getting more that one win in the last 16 games”

So you’re now saying that Cifunetes was one of the best managers we have ever had by being a miracle worker by having us 14th after 29 games

I'd be interested to know what kind of attitude the players are showing in training. Mindset counts for more than tactics. If he's going in and he's got players giving 10% then there's not a lot he can do, given the time he has.

 

If he'd been appointed around Christmas then I'd expect a level of man motivation.

Yup we have a shit squad of players, get that into your head.

Not totally convinced he will be in charge for Pompey.

If he is and it’s a must win, I wonder if he might try something different, answers on a postcard.

[UniFox21]

I don't know how we lost that, Swansea offered nothing, we looked the most likely to score. Then lo and behold we give them a goal. Stol not having to make a save again

Depends what you spend £55m on!! Ideally not Skipp and Ayew. 

Ayew cost 5M bet Chelsea spend more on cigars for the boardroom then that

How comes they were 14th a couple of months ago? Where is Marti the miracle workers next job? Real Madrid or Barcelona?

 

 

Shit players with an even worse manager, is the issue

Maybe because we concede following our free kick at the edge of the Swansea box? Have you ever seen a championship team do that, aside from us? Maybe also because we only create one or two minor chances the second half? That's why we lost that. Swansea basically controlled the second half, and we did nothing and made a huge mistake.

Though I do admit, we managed a bit of possession passing sideways and backwards.

Not his fault for our predicament, but it takes a limited individual to observe our recent history and continue to play 4-2-3-1 with essentially the same combination of losers (minus some youthful enthusiasm.)

 

Yes I know the options are limited, but just the sense of a fresh approach alone would have brought about a feeling of hope and optimism, which is more than can be said for continuing to roll out the corpses of Ricardo, Mavididi, Winks etc etc in the same tired formation.

 

Just change something. Anything. For crying out loud man.

 

I don't claim to have all the answers, but I know that the solution isn't the status quo when the status quo put us in a relegation battle.

It’s embarrassing, every team we play know to just sit back and wait till we make a poor pass and punish us on the counter, any pass not going backwards and sideways will virtually gift the other team a clear opportunity on goal

We are 23rd now whats the difference most of this team has been relegated 2/3 times

 

the rest are made up of loan and academy players.

One thing for sure, point wise rowett is getting less points than anyone. And today was as bad a performance as we've had all season. We lost to a team that wasn't even bothered about winning.

[BeaumontFox]

Emergency meeting tonight apparently as the club cannot afford to be relegated. If that happens and they sack Rowett, then we are going breach financials for another season and look an absolute laughing stock.

He's out the door anyway so he'll go for Experience the rest of the season.
