Relegation fodder (11 Viewers)

[Saddlebrains]

Are we?

We're almost halfway through the season. Lost too and not beaten some utter shite

Players look not arsed

No change in urgency of them from Robins, to Carr, to today with Lampard

None of them have taken the bull by the horns, not one of them has tried to gee up the others, not one of them has raised their game, not one of them has ran themselves into the ground to show they're worth the shirt


Today was the first time I felt concerned about the R Word


This is more than a management issue

This is £45 million pissed away on not to the level players

Not worried about relegation at all personally

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

I think if we stay up it’ll be because there is too much rubbish below us keeping us afloat. We’re an awful team with an awful mentality.

If we do manage to end up going down then that clown King needs to hounded out of the club. We’re going so far backwards under him it’s unbelievable.

The one positive to take from today is that FL & the new coaches will realise the size of the task they have ahead.

Today felt like we are sleepwalking into a mess.

I can't stand the appointment of Lampard, but even that aside, we are lightweight and lacking leadership.

We look devoid of confidence and devoid of attacking ideas, while making individual errors and being open meaning that we keep shipping goals.

Thought for the first 20-25 today we looked really positive. Faded badly, and as said elsewhere I put that down to fitness. That’s going to be a slow process, but I’m not concerned that there won’t be 3 worse teams than us.

We are definitely in a relegation fight , need to somehow get 27 points from the remaining games.

 

[Tommo1993]

Honestly don’t know how people can rule out a relegation scrap this season.

We are in a relegation scrap. Forget any chance of a play off place.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

At what stage of the season do people admit we’re in trouble? December now and we’re treading water above the drop zone while struggling against seemingly every team around us.

I will say out of all of them, MVE’s performance was breathtakingly shit. Who is going to pay money for any of these players if we go down? It will just be Haji Wright who we need fit ASAP

 

[Ccfcisparks]

No we aren’t in my opinion.

 

[Marty]

Maybe it's time to reshuffle the deck.

 

[Perennial Lurker]

Thankfully there are worse teams than us in this division

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Thankfully there are worse teams than us in this division

Who?

 

[ptr]

Said it at few weeks ago but Haji Wright is so important to this team. Saved us a few times and without his goals we’d be bottom 3, simple as that.

We basically are bottom 3 even with them

 

[peteCCFC]

I don't mind a relegation scrap if we've a team of battlers fighting for the cause. We're at risk of one of the most embarrassing seasons in recent history with this bunch of posers.

 

[skybluecam]

Obviously not. Calm down Saddle.

 

[shmmeee]

If I were Doug I’d be ordering a complete shutdown of all transfer activity until we figure out what is going on. If it’s all Robins then why were we even paying Austin and the scouts? If it’s Austin and the scouts then they need firing. Preferably out of a cannon in Sunderland’s direction.

 

[peteCCFC]

Obviously not. Calm down Saddle.

How many teams have we beaten with 11 players this season?

 

[ccfcchris]

We need to sort the defence out. I also feel we crumble if we concede. The team to me seem low on confidence and almost scared at times. Frank has much work to do.

I don't think relegation is remotely in it once the new team has had time with the players.

We do need more bodies in.

 

[fernandopartridge]

Yes. We are. I said it the other night and I'll say it again, we are in a relegation battle.

We're nearly halfway through the season and have won four times.

We've kept two clean sheets in the league. We've conceded two or more goals ten times, in more than half of the games.

Attacking wise we've been ok but have lost our leading scorer. Defensively we are extremely poor and we're looking worse by the week.

 

[SeshMouseSkyBlue]

Defence is more leaky than a Severn Trent water pipe! Got to score 3 every week just to even think about 3 points

 

[stevenorfolkcov]

Van Ewijk the best example of the can’t be arsed attitude and thinking he is too good for this league. Uncommitted in the tackle, casual on the ball, epitomising the laziness that resulted in Robins losing his job.

The fact that he did 90 minutes shows how few options he have. People criticise Eccles a lot on this forum and I understand he is relatively limited but at least he tries and we need that on the field at the moment at least.

 

[pusbccfc]

Definitely not but a real dead wood season.

 

[Jamesimus]

I think we have some excellent technically gifted young players, but very little steel and a soft underbelly. I think it’s something that can be addressed in Jan and I hope it is, so I’m going to wait until then to decide whether to panic or not.

Glad he's getting called out. He was pathetic today.

 

[walkingalongsingingasong]

I don’t think (hope) we are going to be relegated. But the fact is that as each game is completed we don’t seem to be building much of a buffer points wise between us and the relegation zone. The leagues too tight to be playing the game of only collecting the points from draws.

 

[ccfcchris]

Van Ewijk was really poor today.

 

[shmmeee]

Van Ewijk was really poor today.

Been poor all season. But so have all of them. To lose probably your most valuable player (MvE) your captain (Sheaf) and your joint top scorer (Simms) to poor form really is something.

 

[Tommo1993]

Van Ewijk was really poor *this season

 

[SkyBlue_Bear83]

I think we will stay up but honestly it's not looking great, a few seasons of lower half finishes followed by a fire sale and cost cutting before a relegation is a distinct possibility at the moment.

Gonna take something special or a complete rehaul of the playing squad to turn this around to be promotion contenders in this league.

Poop deck

He’s been shite for weeks/months! Almost like he gets picked based on last seasons performances

 

[Calista]

Was not in slightest bit worried about relegation before the management change. Now I feel like we've rolled the dice, and I genuinely think things could go in either direction. Fingers crossed...
