We went into the league campaign with only Fadz having played fairly regularly at this level.

We went into the league campaign with the second lowest budget and a tiny squad in terms of quality

Horrific luck with injuries has hampered this already thread bare squad

Everyone expected us to be in a relegation dog fight due to all of the above circumstances.

the over reaction by people is pathetic

I think it's that there's a good team in there. We aren't a bad team, we just can't score at the moment.

6 points clear. They have two games in hand. Big difference is this is the bottom half of the table and Rotherham winning two is unlikely.

 

[Astute]

It's the way we're going about it.

We aren't even putting up a fight.

Getting outplayed is one thing, but by and large we aren't. We are more competitive ability-wise than people think.

The problem is goals win games. Ability wise we are miles behind up front to most sides on who we presently have available. We don't have a pot of gold to spend on a striker.

 

[Barnsley]

Barnsley are dropping

Was to be expected with the three teams we’ve just played (Norwich, Swansea, Watford.) and the way we approach games, kamikaze football against top teams is just silliness, but our head coach as earned the right to play nincompoop tactics against the top teams, by beating the teams below us, doing that makes the games against the top teams a free hit. I do wish he’d approach the games against the better sides with a degree of caution, but if he wants to attack teams, play three up front, and have his defensive line in the middle of the pitch, he earned the right to do so, and in the last three games we’ve only been beat because the opposition we’re clinical with their chances due to that extra quality they have, and us being extremely wasteful due to the lack of that quality we have. Still we’re very exciting and entertaining to watch, even though it’s very predictable that the top 6 sides will beat us.

By mentioning 96/97, are you, in a roundabout way, suggesting our fortunes could change by playing Baka at centre back... With him scoring exclusively from headers at set pieces???

I'm suggesting a 3 point deduction for any team cancelling a game due to covid so we'll stay up, similar to that season

It really is like a Corporal Jones 'Don't panic thread'

Our last 2 league results: we have won away at Millwall, and lost to Reading.

We work it wide and cross to 1 man

Team expected to be in a relegation battle with long term injuries to key players in relegation battle shock

Fixed

 

[Sky_Blue_Dreamer]

We started out conceding too many, mainly fixed that but at the cost of losing much of our attacking threat, compounded by our two first choice strikers being out injured.

Some of the players need to spend a lot more time on finishing. We're getting some good chances but missing them.

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

Before we get too depressed about how we are doing, or how some think MR is doing (and I think we're doing ok, given our resources). it could be worse (and I say that without mocking them)

Squad not good enough for promotion

I totally agree with people saying Parky should go like, he is out of his depth My main concern is the state of the squad we have now been left with, I dont see anyway we get promoted with the squad, even with more appearances by some young lads (which absolutely needs to happen) Our forwards...

If we sacked Our manager we wouldn’t be able to afford or attract anyone better. What do people seriously expect?

Criticising the manager doesn't equate to wanting him to be sacked.

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

Sorry but this is not true. We're putting up a fight we're just getting beaten by teams that a better, quicker, faster, more clinical than us.

People have been saying it all season. When we pick up a win its apparently a fluke or its because the opposition gifted it to us.

When one of our relegation rivals picks up a result its apparently because they're putting up a fight and showing belief.

Our last half a dozen performances have lacked any real desire to win. That comes from the manager, but you see the physical effort of the players not being good enough in some cases. Everyone needs to accept that mistakes happen, and that our forwards will miss chances, but lack of desire is another thing. When you combine them all it is agonisingly frustrating seeing us getting sucked back in to the bottom.

We have seen in some games that we can compete and to say 'well we have a shit budget what do you expect' is not a good enough excuse to say should we get relegated. The season is dynamic, games are dynamic. You cannot say you would be happy to lose by one goal to a team you consider better, only then to go 3-0 up and lose 4-3.

We should have more points than we do and we are better than some make out. We are just failing to show that, and for the record, yes, I think injuries have also hampered us considerably.

Sleepwalking into mid table...lol

 

[clint van damme]

Make that 4 now, Rotherham beating Stoke.

We cannot score and leaking goals like a colander.

Sleepwalking into the bottom 3, Forest Rotherham Derby Wednesday all on decent form.

starting a thread like this is always a risky strategy. Doubling down on trying to be an edge lord by typing the title in alternate lower case/upper case letters is particularly bold but risky move.

Alas in this case it has made the OP look like twice as big a c**t.

Yea we alll get things wrong from time to time dont we C*nt Van Damme, il take the hit

What’s an edge lord

An edge is where something stops and something else starts..........my child.

 

[shmmeee]

What’s an edge lord

Someone who is “edgy” by saying stuff that’s generally reprehensible and claiming it’s for the lols.

See right wing “comedians” and most 13 year old boys.

I can't think of any game this season where players have shown lack of effort. The opposite in fact, shown by how many times we have come back from a goal down.

 

[SkyBlueCharlie9]

If we stay up I’d imagine it will be similar next season. We do not have a budget to keep building with quality players each year. It will take 3 or 4 years of constant building before we could even consider the top half.

I'll take that.

Im pointing out that despite the abuse thrown at me for the thread it wasn't baseless. Few on here been saying we're in trouble but the blinkers are truly on for a lot of you
