relegation?

Recommended Posts

And the rest. 3 midfielders and a striker at least.

And full-backs and proper strikers and back-up players etc. etc.

We might avoid relegation if Mandaric takes over, but then only by the skin of our teeth. Mandaric and any new manager will still have to work with this godforsaken squad of over-rated, glorified Division Two standard, wasters.

And thus, the voice of reason did crumble under the weight of turgidness. A sad day.

It took a change of manager to achieve that though... :ph34r:

Actually it took the arrival of Weso into the team and after he got injured the results pretty much collapsed again.

Deja Vu we need Weso back and fast.

This is a blatent over reaction to a result that was inevitable.

Seems like every result is inevitable these days. Preston are a good side, Plymouth were on a good run, we never win at Norwich, blah blah blah.

After the last month I doubt it could be called an over-reaction this time Manwell. And this time 3 goals were conceded.

Fair point actually, i hear we're unbeaten in the games he's played in this season.

I said give Kelly until 15 games and then re-think. It's now 20 games and we're staring down the barrel of relegation. It's time for Kelly to go.

If we can get two quality creative midfielders, we can be well on our way. At the moment we have nobody who can pass a ball brilliantly and it costs us dearly.

We do they're just both constantly injured. You can't honestly tell me we don't need a striker?

Yes and next month will be differnt to this month.

If you remember he was up for manager of the month for October.

Remember most realists predicted a bottom half finish for us at the start of the season and it has hardly been the easiest set of results has it.

It's not the fact that I think he shouldn't go that annoys me, it's the fact that we were always going to lose tonight, and any thread of this kind before the game would of probabley been deleted or laughed upon :rolleyes:

Besides the blah blah blah bit Fez it's all true :dunno: I said it would be a hard month and it has. Get on at him all you want this this squad we were always going to struggle against the sides we were up against. Yes he's bought upon himself in a way but the bloke has very little margin for error, he has nothing at his disposle.

The takeover makes this debate very open. I don't know what to think TBH.

I sympathise with your frustration but it's not all down to the players. People like MON, Bill Shankly, Brian Clough had a special charisma.

Any one of them walking in on Monday morning would have refocused our whole effort, isolated the strengths of individual players and sorted out an approach which suited those strengths.

Whatever system you use, it's imperative to pick players to suit that system and inter-react well with each other.

It wouldn't have been easy with our side. But it would have been possible. They might not have won anything. But they wouldn't have been down where they are. At least I don't think so.

Yes we do I agree, we need a big man- somebody to play off Hume. Fryatt and Hammond aren't cut out for it yet (or ever in Elvis's case)

Neither is COG imo, despite being quite big.

It just strikes me that one of the main qualities he had last season was winning when we were playing poorly. Now we're not even doing that. Are we going to wait til we're in the bottom three before sacking him? It's Levein all over again. I just hate it when defeat seems inevitable week in week out. I don't mind midtable mediocrity in comparison. Win some, lose some.

Agree with you 100% on this one. Personally, I never have thought this side is up to much but the lack of any genuine working your balls off for your team-mates is just not there. I watched Watford while the commentary was on and, though their quality is lacking, the organisation and effort menat they went down fighting tonight. Add that to the tactical problems Rob Kelly makes for himself and we're staring down a mighty black hole here.
