Gallowgate Toon Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 Gini and Sissoko are not wingers, so playing them wide essentially makes it a midfield five imo Perez and Mitro definitely played as a 2. Doesn't matter how bastardised our wingers were, it was still not one up top. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiotes Witch Doctor Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 Nailed on 10 for me, never been so sure of anything in my life, McClaren wont be sacked and that's enough reason to think that its a dead cert. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mick Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 It's looking grim now. Two out of ourselves, Norwich and the Mackems will drop, and our neighbours seem to be doing the best at the moment. It's not fair to blame McClaren, in that the slide began long before he arrived, and it can take more than one season to turn that kind of momentum around. The biggest (but not the only) problem is the defence. If you're insecure at the back, that saps the confidence of the entire side. It feels like we have to begin again from scratch in that area. It is fair to blame him, he's shite and he's going to get us relegated because he can't do his job to even a reasonable standard. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NG32 Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 Still a 9 stroking a 10. If the idiots do the right thing and bin McClown then there is a chance of getting organised and getting some points on the board. If they don't lift a finger and make a change , I'll shift to a 10 - nailed on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 Cronky's right in that the problems go far beyond McClaren. He has failed to turn it around, for that he takes the blame. But the reasons we are failing in general are much wider. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Altamullan Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 What are everyone's predictions? AWAY: 8 7 points Everton L Chelsea L Stoke D L Leicester L Norwich W Southampton D Liverpool L Villa W HOME: 13 10 points West Brom W (Man City D) Bournemouth W Makems W Swansea W Palace L Spurs L 21 17 points Whilst not found of s*** or bust thinking/statements, can't help thinking tomorrow is a s*** or bust game. The way they've played the last two games, well I just can't see them winning. Regardless of points available, regardless of what they may possibly be capable of, their confidence looks shot to fuck. Change needed to snap them out of it; Stupid Management Cunt--do one thing positive for once, in fact just do one... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heron Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 I can only see us potentially getting 10 points now. Will not be enough to keep us up I reckon, 36 will probably be required. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heake Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 I cant quite believe that, as shit as we are, a few wins means we`re still in with a realistic chance of survival. The dejavu of being relegated at Villa park again will be too much to bear this time though & it just seems to me that that fixture comes at exactly the right time for the ultimate humiliation regardless of the schadenfreude it offers.

He doesn't dare criticise the manager? I always find it odd that he never points out how bad our managers have been. Either that, or he doesn't want it to be awkward when he bumps into these people in football circles. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wullie Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 Weird how we've been through dozens of players and two sets of coaching staff and nothing changes (apart from when things get worse).

I think a bit of both but maybe it's also because of the type of pro he was that gave everything himself so he simply can't comprehend what he's seeing our shower of shit get away with. Either way it's poor punditry. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost as if the problem goes a bit deeper than who's on the fucking pitch. A transfer policy where you would rather renew the contract of an ageing player than spend money on the centre half you need because it would cost too much is a clue.
