Hhtoon Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 I can't see any games we can win now. Maybe draw with Brighton or Fulham if we are lucky With Wilson and 1 of Miggy or ASM back, I can see us getting results against teams. With all 3 back we'd be too strong for Fulham for sure. Hopefully not too late by the time they're back in the fold... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

With a different manager aye, but with this idiot I have no faith whatsoever. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last time we played Fulham we had Wilson and Miggy in the team, we were playing at home, and scraped a 1-1 draw thanks to an iffy penalty and Fulham being down to ten men.

The formation change (Jones impact or whatever) since then does have us playing better so hoping that'll continue Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

With a different manager aye, but with this idiot I have no faith whatsoever. ASM was out for 2 months and then Wilson was injured a couple of weeks later so I wouldn't say that's a fair part of the season. Not really a hill I wish to die on mind as we're clearly pretty shit Just think with them back and the "Jones" effect, we may get some results, with Sheffield and Fulham 2 of the most likely. Unfortunately it may well be too late by then Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

frankpingel Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 Having looked at the fixtures I think its Brighton slightly more than Fulham as our best bet to avoid relegation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abra Dubravka Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 Half expecting him to revert back to the horrendous back 5 any game now. Despite that being the system he all but canned the players for wanting to play, and tried distancing himself from crimes of against football he was responsible for whilst persisting with it. Doing things his way has conveniently coincided with Jones coming in and the move to 433, and when players he was forever crying he was without had started to come back. He’s got bugger all talent to dig him out the shit up front, Fed is back so wouldn’t be beyond him to go back to the back 5 abortion, he’s always fallen to it at other clubs. Dubravka Manquillo — Lascelles — Fed — Clark — Lewis Willock — Shelvey — Hayden Joe — Fraser Also a bit worried he’s going to go with Gayle and Carroll too. Spoke about it after WBA saying he didn’t have enough time, another week and probably 2 training sessions down the line. An equally worrying thought.

His best bet right now is to forget about playing football since he has no idea how to implement it. Get the defence right and just welly the ball forward and hope something lands right. Don't think you can implement a pressing game with Carroll and Gayle as neither of them are fit enough, and we'd end up leaving huge gaps at the back.

I don't think we will see Lewis for the rest of the season. In my opinion he's behind Dummet and Ritchie. Also there's no way Joelinton and Fraser are getting goals.

Abra Dubravka Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 SMB Michael Gray relegating Brighton on TalkSPORT. Says we’re staying up, so are Fulham. Brighton can’t score so are going down. Staying up on 33 points with draw away at Fulham Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superior Acuña Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 I think there were positive aspects to both the last relegations - the big clear out of uninterested high paid stars in 09, the Rafa rebuild in 2016. No positives this time (other than that it doesn't really hurt cos of the state of the club). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
