Mick Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Relegation season we had a shocking squad, a ton of managers, we were a total shambles from top to bottom, and still we went down by 1 point. I'd be far more worried if I was Villa to be honest, not that finishing 16th or so will represent a "victory" by any means. Yet this season we've got none of those excuses and we're worse off than we were then. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Honestly reckon we'll go now. Half way through the transfer window and still we are a step behind where we were when it started. Gutted but gradually becoming massively apathetic towards the whole thing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need a lift and I don't know where it's going to come from, actually I do but I don't know if those running the club have the sense to pull it off.

Mole_Toonfan Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 people need to cheer up a little Pretty hard to be cheerful when you go from 5th to 2 points above relegation and you see Ba leave the club and his replacement is off to the team who is 20th in the table and the club captain could very well be leaving. We have won 5 games all season, with no away wins and 9 defeats in our last 12 games. Hardly surprising people are struggling to remain positive.

Yorkie Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 I don't get how some can be so certain that we're going down, when it's only half-way and we're not even in the relegation zone (and haven't been all season, i don't think?). I know, we learn from past failures, but i still don't think we'll go. If Coloccini goes and we don't replace him, i'll probably re-think that, but as it stands i'm close to certain that we'll nick enough points to come about 15th. I said in this thread recently that it's not so much about "i don't know where the next win is coming from"... more, "i don't know where the next clean sheet is coming from." The shut-out at Norwich could have massive implications, because i believe there's plenty of goals in this team, with or without a new strikers. We might not have played well, but that clean sheet away from home should give the defenders' confidence an enormous boost. Another against Reading (as well as three points) would be terrific, given our current situation. All that, and that we played extremely well against Manu and Arsenal for 70 minutes, only for the manager to (practically single-handedly) feed us to the dogs in the latter stages with some painfully shite decisions. Hopefully he's learned from them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmojorisin75 Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 yorkie, the manyoo and arsenal games are anomalous to me because both of them let you play against them if you so choose...take them away and we've always looked like utter shite against teams who aren't open - absolutely nothing has changed at all in reality pardew doesn't have a clue, he'll make some new or oft-repeated selection/tactical decision against reading and we'll struggle like fuck...he'll then try to change and we'll either got out of jail or we won't...unless of course his plan a works and someone scores a few goals out of nothing take the following team for reading: krul, debuch, santon, colo, willo, perch (DM), cabaye, anita, marv, cisse, obertan no shola, no jonas that team should be able to go out and play nice attacking football, but even if he plays it it won't do that, they'll huff and they'll puff and they'll throw long balls to cisse 'til everyone wants it all to end this is why people are considering relegation, on paper we've got a team of artists but they're being made to emulsion walls as someone else said Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spider Jerusalem Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Jonas will be shoehorned in there somehow - probably in for Marveux. Don't write off his capability to get Shola in there as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly. ashley just needs to cotton on that a good manager could save him money in the long run and that pardew is not a good manager pick up the phone, ring someone up who knows something about football and ask them who is a better manager who can work in the system...i honestly think it's as simple as that, as much as i believe he could/should spend more i don't think it's the be all and end all, a semi-competent manager would have had us nowhere near this mess imo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
