MooseBreath Posted 28 February 2015 Share Posted 28 February 2015 Should just copy what the big clubs do. If Barcelona play nobody up front then we should too. It's that simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shailen Posted 28 February 2015 Share Posted 28 February 2015 The sides above us all draw more games than us. We threw away too many games that we could quite easily got the odd point in here and there: WBA home Palace home QPR away Spurs home By no means outplayed in any, yet lost all of them. Whilst Pearson plays one up front we will not stand any chance of staying up. Tactics do not matter if you don't take your chances and defend properly. Tactics are all good and well but you've got to do the basics properly first. We create chances in almost every games, yet we have scored the second least number of goals. It doesn't matter if we play 1,2 or 3 up front if we continue to spurn chances Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest seanfox778 Posted 28 February 2015 Share Posted 28 February 2015 I believe and hope we stay up but the one consolation if we do go down for me is the extra games in the Championship. It seems like an eternity between Premier League games sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Singha Beer Is Good! Posted 28 February 2015 Share Posted 28 February 2015 I've just had a look at the remaining fixtures of City, QPR, Burnley, Villa and Hull and we have definitely got one of the easier run-ins and we play FOUR out of our last five matches at home which has got to be an advantage. A lot of people have already given up on the team and while I admit it's a hard task to pull off it's not impossible - Sunderland were dead and buried last season and somehow managed it, so why can't we? Yes we have to put a stop to the endless defensive cock-ups but Huth has certainly helped make the defence stronger and if Kramaric isn't left in splendid isolation up front he has shown enough in his few starts to suggest he could get a few more goals this season. If, sorry WHEN we stay up then we obviously need to spend a fortune on some proper Premier league defenders but that's the start of another thread.... Keep the faith folks!

Dawko Posted 28 February 2015 Share Posted 28 February 2015 We just have to come top of that little mini league of 4 teams at the bottom. Certainly very very possible. That last game against QPR could be so important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

indierich06 Posted 1 March 2015 Share Posted 1 March 2015 Don't worry guys, when we beat Man City next week, courtesy of a shot that dribbles over the line after hitting Schlupp on the arse, we'll be right back in the game! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't use an isolated season with knowing what every opposition was too. No doubt we've been poor but there are six teams down there at the moment as poor.

LCCFox96 Posted 1 March 2015 Share Posted 1 March 2015 True, but we can't win a game. Just can't do it. When will the next win be? I haven't given up on the season just yet. There are parts of some of our recent performances - Villa in the cup excluded as we were dog shite that day - that give me a modicum of confidence. Thats enough to keep the faith. Given how bad our run of form has been the fact we are only 4 points a drift shows the quality of every other team in and around us is equally woeful. Whatever differences of opinion the fans have on the manager, the tactics and the players that isn't going to change before the end of the season and we do have enough about us to be better than 3 teams in the relegation dog fight. I firmly believe it is not beyond us and the sooner we get off the bottom of the table the better the confidence will be going into the final stages of the season. We can do this.

st albans fox Posted 1 March 2015 Share Posted 1 March 2015 Those that do play 1 striker pack the midfield to support the front man. We don't. We just pack the defence! Pathetic Don't mind that away from home against good sides that play possession football. At home, we have to be more aggressive - 4-5-1 or 4-4-1-1 (prefer 5 in the middle to give us some quality passing options rather than the hoof and hope) Away to someone like west brom, we surely need to pack the midfield and try to boss the ball. Packing the defence just invites them on. Against good sides, that doesn't matter as they will probably win any midfield battle and we will be camped in our final third anyway. . We saw how dreadful it is against villa. Just gives average teams confidence and time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
