TK-421 Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 Disappointing today (unless we can turn it round), but with our away form, we are just as likely to go unbeaten in the next 3 away games too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 We had 69 points after 33 matches in the '09-'10 season. Obviously having the same haul this season feels very different. Not least because the squad will essentially be weaker in this half of the season, in contrast to 09-10. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 W5 D3 L0 in 8 isn't bad form, but two absolutely shit results at home to QPR and Bristol make the next three a lot more squeaky-bum than they needed to be. We'll lose at least one of them Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decky Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 Least we maintained our 5 point lead but that first half was fucking worrying. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 Look, we aren't playing well, I think that's unanimous but I think we are underestimating our rivals ability to drop points too. I think we will get promoted but we've missed several opportunities to make it comfortable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently Huddersfield were going to win every game - they have just drawn. 5 games ago Brighton were going to win every game and they started wobbling.

Decky Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 I'm actually glad they are all away games. Had they been at home we'd lose the lot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 Need to somehow get Gayle fully fit for the vast majority of our remaining games and we'll be fine. Without him we've got fuck all up front and I'm extremely concerned about promotion, at best. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll lose at least one of them As long as it is not the Huddersfield game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beren Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 Still reasonably confident with an effective 6 point cushion to 3rd but with the January window gone, we need a lot of new faces in the summer and it'll be a lottery as to whether they can gel and hit the ground running next season. No point going up with this team/squad tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

xLiaaamx Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 We were shitting our pants at Jan-feb time that season too actually. People were convinced Forest were going to topple us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 No point going up with this team/squad tbh. There really isn't. We'd go down with less than 30 points with this heap of guff. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 Obvious statement is obvious but we should have bought in January. If we don't go up we can immediately look to that month as being the main reason for why we didn't see it through. The squad isn't good enough to be top of the league without making massively hard work of it; the main problem being we don't have the talent to dominate games at home. They're also mentally fragile.

Dave Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 Not sure why anyone's bothered at all about Brighton at this stage. Obviously I want to win the league but going up is all that matters. They're a better team than us, and understandably so. We need to stay ahead of Huddersfield. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest firetotheworks Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 It's arguably the entire first team squad minus Shelvey that needs overhauled like. Even the likes of Richie, Yedlin, and Gayle might not make the cut in an ideal scenario, should we go up. I think they're the 4, along with probably Anita who are likely to remain if we're successful. The rest just aren't anywhere near good enough, but I think we all know that at this point.

I've zero confidence in this club to overhaul the squad in ten windows, let alone one. It doesn't need an overhaul though and even if it did, it wouldn't be realistic to expect we'd form a brilliant side. The squad needs significant, intelligent investment in all three areas of the field - but that doesn't mean eleven signings. I agree about January obviously.
