joeyt Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 I think being realistic would be a better description. No team is getting promoted with Colback as a mainstay in their team. I'd even throw Dummett into the mix also. We still haven't rectified our lack of creativity. He had the summer to make sure those three factors weren't still crippling us. Yet we are in January, going into the next phase of fixtures and we are reliant on Colback, Dummett et al. We're second in the league ffs Not sure why I'm replying like as you're clearly just a massive WUM Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
54 Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 I think being realistic would be a better description. No team is getting promoted with Colback as a mainstay in their team. Good job he hasn't been, and switching with Hayden most of the season, and is only really in the team these last few games due to Shelvey being out I'd even throw Dummett into the mix also. He's been a mainstay for the majority of this season so far, and we are currently on course to finish about 10 points ahead of the average points total to get promoted We still haven't rectified our lack of creativity. Unitl about 2 weeks ago we we're the highest goalscoring team in the country He had the summer to make sure those three factors weren't still crippling us. They're very clearly not. Yet we are in January, going into the next phase of fixtures and we are reliant on Colback, Dummett et al. We are most definitely not reliant on Colback, an probably Dummett too. Anything else?

Elliottman Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 Hate the 'we've spent xx' argument as well. We lost around 10-13 players at the end of last season. We had to spend money to.have an actual squad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JP Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 WELCOME SAM CLUCAS We'll see how the story develops but it would be a good signing IMO. I've been to see Hull a couple of times this season and he's a real neat and tidy CM, keeps things ticking over and has a great range of passing. Be a decent alternative to Shelvey I've no doubt about it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Figures 1-0 Football Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 WELCOME SAM CLUCAS Both he and Colback are ginger and have the middle name "Raymond". Practically the same person. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leazes_End_Mag Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 I can't comment too much on any link with him as I've not seen enough of him to judge him. Never really stood out in the games I have seen him play though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gdm Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 No surprise the club has messed up this window, feels like a stunning return to form. It's the 13th, not the 31st. Put that Knee back in place. I'll put my foot up your arse if you like? Problem is you'd probably climax. We havent signed anyone yet, its not even halfway through the window, yet we've "messed up". There's no plan whatsoever (half arsed scattergun approach) and seems like the club thought they could ride their luck through to the end of the season. If you are happy with signing no one or some of the dross we've been linked with then fair enough, but I expected more. Two weeks wasted of settling in players, as we've seen with lazaar if we buy anyone now they'll be making their debut in a few month, if at all. It feels like the club of old, I doubt now we will sign anyone of note. Fuckin ridiculous that like Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

themanupstairs Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 It certainly looks like Rafa does not have a plan B, not only with his tactics (as soon as we concede or can't scrape a goal we are f***ed), but with his transfer business. Agreed. Get a proper manager in ffs! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobody Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 This Chris fella is the one who was certain Rafa wouldn't be here by Christmas, right? And who hasn't posted since we were losing to Norwich until very recently. What an asset to the forum that bloke is, really happy to have him here.

Tiotes Witch Doctor Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 There hasn't been much of a plan B really though it has to be said, we've lost every game we've conceded first in haven't we? We do need to improve in that area, whether it be a plan B or sorting out the mentality of the players when going down first in a game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

merlin Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 There hasn't been much of a plan B really though it has to be said, we've lost every game we've conceded first in haven't we? We do need to improve in that area, whether it be a plan B or sorting out the mentality of the players when going down first in a game. We DO need to be able to come from a losing position to get points if we want to go up...also, although it seems sacrilege to even LOOK like comparing Rafa with him, I believe this was also a criticism of Pardew's teams as well so maybe some of the players in both manager's sides lack character and determination.

Happinesstan Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 There's people who sit around me at SJP who I'd never enter conversation with, I'm always mindful on here that they may have Internet access. One in particular who wants us to finish 3rd to 6th so he can see us promoted at Wembley. Probably just some tight fuck who spotted he could win an extra tenner if he backed us to go up through the play-offs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
