STM Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 God knows. Play like against West Ham, we could score a few. Like against Everton, then we will get beat. Mitro to play and score would be ideal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Varadi Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 So hard to predict us these days - our home form has actually been OK of late (1 defeat in 5, and that was the pretty harsh late Everton winner) and the West Ham game was some of the best football we've played in ages. Think a lot depends on how we start, if it's nervous and edgy or we go behind early then I think the crowd will turn, and that could be the beginning of the end for McClaren.

STM Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Our win against West Ham was hardly papering over the cracks, no matter how bad we were against Watford and Everton. It was a genuinely good performance and underlined the capabilities of the team. The problem is that we don't replicate it, especially away from home.

relámpago blanco Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Back to not being able to work out whether I want us to lose or win. I don't want us to go down but I want that sad excuse for a manager gone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It hasn't been the only decent performance all season[emoji38] Exaggeration on my part but personally speaking I'm far from happy with how our performances have been this season and never wanted Steve in the first place.

Nobody Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 I don't think we'll lose. That's all I can really predict about this game. If we lose we should be euthanasiad Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry but that performance was an anomaly, our performances all season have been rotten. I don't agree. However I wouldn't argue that we have been good. My main issue is with the use of the phrase, "papering over the cracks." A win might hide bigger issues but "papering over the cracks" is wrong.

STM Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 In my mind it's to do with consistency. We have good players and are more than capable of good football. Sadly it's 1 performance in 5. I'm not going to argue for McClaren because I would be barking up the wrong tree. I won't criticise a good performance though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 We had a chance to build some momentum and climb out of the drop zone after the West Ham win and we blew it. Even if we win today, with the fixtures we have and the long gap after Chelsea, we're going to be in the mire come mid-March and every game against the teams around us has become 'must win'. This is the biggest game of the season because we need these points just to stay in touch after the two games after. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Dreading the team news today. Has cost us the last two games. Hope he gets it right. Must win game today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 We are consistently shit like, as evidenced by our league position. Exactly. I'd love to believe we'll just turn it on when it really matters but that flies in the face of nearly all evidence to date. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
