cc_star Posted 8 November 2014 Posted 8 November 2014 Barring James' kamikaze stoppage time tackle Vs Burnley we'd be 15th Sure,things should be going better than this run, and they sure need to against Sunderland, QPR & Villa (3 out of our next 4 games) But some perspective is needed and the 6 teams around us are much of a muchness & this dividing line between success & failure between them is infinitely small. Woeful, not good enough runs like this happen to many teams outside the top 8 each & every season... What if us fans could be the difference in helping the players bring home the bacon during this critical next few games against direct rivals around us in the table?
purpleronnie Posted 8 November 2014 Posted 8 November 2014 But at least QPR and burnley actually have ambition in their play, we seem to have none, that what worries me.
ithuriel Posted 8 November 2014 Posted 8 November 2014 Its hard to defend a terrible losing run unfortunately.
DANGEROUS TIGER Posted 8 November 2014 Posted 8 November 2014 I agree with the fact that we are currently clueless.
Fox92 Posted 8 November 2014 Posted 8 November 2014 "Kamikaze stoppage time tackle". It wasn't a foul, it wasn't even a foul.
cc_star Posted 8 November 2014 Author Posted 8 November 2014 "Kamikaze stoppage time tackle". It wasn't a foul, it wasn't even a foul. Didn't say it was, but it was kamikaze
Fox92 Posted 8 November 2014 Posted 8 November 2014 Didn't say it was, but it was kamikaze Yeah, true. Fair play. Bit of frustration coming out there after today's result.
cc_star Posted 8 November 2014 Author Posted 8 November 2014 Its hard to defend a terrible losing run unfortunately. I'm not, just highlighting how small a margin it is between failure & comparative success
Matt Posted 8 November 2014 Posted 8 November 2014 But the bottom line is we're not and we've not been good enough, it really is as simple as that, I don't want if's, but's and maybe's, I want reality, no good talking about what could have been.
Callabinho Posted 8 November 2014 Posted 8 November 2014 **** off with this perspective bullshit, "don't worry lads, we drew against Arsenal, and beat United, so no win in five and four loses on the bounce isn't bad, we've had a good start". It's a bloody good thing we didn't start poorly.

It's a bloody good thing we didn't start poorly. I honestly can't understand people justifying it, I really can't.
One Legged Beaver Posted 8 November 2014 Posted 8 November 2014 Things may not be going our way at the moment but we sure aren't helping ourselves from both the manager's and the players' perspectives.
suffolk fox Posted 8 November 2014 Posted 8 November 2014 Its not fine margins What if? Aint real life I am afraid. Facts are we aint scored now for six games piss poor at anylevel of football.
Bettsj2 Posted 8 November 2014 Posted 8 November 2014 There's no fine margin involved when you do not even register an effort on target.
MHC Posted 8 November 2014 Posted 8 November 2014 Next four games are against Sunderland, QPR, Liverpool and Aston Villa. It is incontrovertible that we MUST get between 7 and 10 points out of them and to do that tactics have got to change. Mahrez needs to play, it's time for Powell to be given a chance, De Laet needs to be dropped, Schlupp needs to play at left back, Lawrence and Albrighton need to be given chances. We need to revert back to the good old fashioned attack minded 442 and take a chance, if we don't gamble we will be relegated indefinitely.
harpendenfox Posted 8 November 2014 Posted 8 November 2014 Without throwing complete caution to the wind we have to be braver if we're to hurt teams and give ourselves a chance of winning
Guest ttfn Posted 9 November 2014 Posted 9 November 2014 Next four games are against Sunderland, QPR, Liverpool and Aston Villa.

Powell is probably about 8th in the queue for people who need to be "given a chance". Again, I will caveat this by acknowledging that is must be really hard to come into a struggling side like this, but he was the worst player on the pitch today and not far off that last week despite his energy.
Bamba's Babes Posted 9 November 2014 Posted 9 November 2014 If I hear the phrase fine margins again, I'm going to scream!
Monsell1976 Posted 9 November 2014 Posted 9 November 2014 If I hear the phrase fine margins again, I'm going to scream! is a shit excuse week after week, surely if it was fine margins, we would be on the right side of them at times.
BlackburnClaret Posted 9 November 2014 Posted 9 November 2014 If we'd scored that penalty against Palace, we would be level.
BlackburnClaret Posted 9 November 2014 Posted 9 November 2014 If we'd scored that penalty against Palace, and we would be level. "Kamikaze stoppage time tackle". It wasn't a foul, it wasn't even a foul. If that wasn't, then by that standard you wouldn't have had a penalty against Man Utd, so, you wouldn't have made your comeback. So, in fact you'd be worse off.
Callabinho Posted 9 November 2014 Posted 9 November 2014 If we'd scored that penalty against Palace, we would be level. Nice little win that for you at the weekend, We've taken the piss but the game at our place, and since it seems you're throwing more going forward, here's us looking like a cat caught in headlights!
Countesthorpe Fox 1884 Posted 9 November 2014 Posted 9 November 2014 If that wasn't, then by that standard you wouldn't have had a penalty against Man Utd, so, you wouldn't have made your comeback. So, in fact you'd be worse off. a goal was coming if i'm honest
