theboyangel Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 How bloody typical.... We need to start winning and soon. We cannot afford to rely on other teams winning/losing. Our destiny is in our own hands, sadly that really concerns me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Luck seems to be shit for us this season. This is what happens when you flirt with relegation year after year, in the end you get whats coming. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa89 Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 I still can't believe that we will get relegated Three points from our last eleven games and the worst goal difference in the league. Does that help you believe? It should because we are going down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Nevermind Leicester if we don't do the business ourselves then we're relegated. Still 12 games to go so a long way, really. I'm not as certain as I was about relegation as I was after the game yesterday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 We're only in the bottom three on goal difference, teams have got themselves out of trouble from far worse. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshVilla Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 The worrying thing is that we're letting all of the 'winnable' fixtures pass us by. If we're not careful we'll be in a position where we need to pick up points from Utd and City away. The team is still playing with too much fear. We score and then go to bits instead of being encouraged. I think we left it far too late to sack Lambert. Expecting Sherwood to immediately come in and get the players playing his way is a big ask. Having a transfer window with Sherwood would have been beneficial, as he would have been able to briefly see what he needed to build the team his way and try to make a few additions. Now, he's left with the squad that Lambert built and is expected to get them playing how he wants straight away. It's do-able, but it's gonna be bloody tough now. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it will be a big task to turn around the mess left behind by the previous incumbent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villarocker Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 For me, we don't have 12 games left as defeats at both Manchester clubs seems inevitable. I'd have written off Southampton but we won there last season and they seem to have the wobbles. I'd have also written off Spurs away but we might just sneak something there because Sherwood will have an in knowledge of their strengths and weaknesses, so our players should be better prepared than ever for that one. I'm worried about the games against the Albion because Pulis gets his teams playing physical football and with so much at stake, together with being derby games, I'm concerned that we might end up with injuries/suspensions after those games. We have two winnable league games after the Albion games so keeping all our best players available for those is vital. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smetrov Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 We're only in the bottom three on goal difference, teams have got themselves out of trouble from far worse. Of course the situation in terms of points needed V points available isn't hopeless. I do think though when a big club starts to tumble - its more difficult to stop - smaller clubs appear to galvanise and get a sense of togetherness - I fear we will have the exact opposite effect and implode. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Everyone picking points up except us that is very worrying we could finish bottom which would be unacceptable 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villarocker Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 I wouldn't have fancied us to get anything out of either of the games Leicester and Burnley had this weekend but, I bet we'd have fancied either of them to get something out of the game we had. That thought alone worries me about where we're at in our battle to stay up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GENTLEMAN Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 We are down. I cannot see where our next win is going to come from. My only hope now is the club preparing properly for the championship, so we can come back up first time of asking, preferably with the title.

I really don't see us bouncing back with the current incumbents in charge. There approach to running a club is very amateur, I have no confidence we will find it easier in the championship. It would need the sale of the club for us to be taken seriously. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xela Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 I think too many are overestimating our rivals and the general standard of the division. Last season 34 points would've been enough to finish in 17th place and I see no reason to believe that significantly more will be required this - maybe 35 points maximum. That would therefore require 3/4 wins and some draws to do it. We have the most favourable run-in of any side also. Out of the remaining fixtures, only the Man City, Man United, Tottenham and Southampton games are the ones we shouldn't expect anything from. I know what you are saying but i think you are underestimating how shit we are. As VillaChris said earlier "Since beating Leicester on December 7th we've played WBA, Swansea, Palace, Sunderland, Leicester, Hull and Stoke. We've collected 3 points. Three. That is staggeringly inept..." We are probably the worst team in the league at the minute. I'm struggling to see us get 8 points let alone 12/13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deeps Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 I still find it amazing that people on here thing QPR, Burnley, Hull, Sunderland etc are going to run away from us. If we beat Newcastle on Saturday the picture could be different. It takes one win to get confidance up we just need to find it. One thing I will say. It is confidence IMO. all the players seem to feel it. Accept one. Scott Sinclair seems to be positive, guessing Lambert couldn't get to him during his sort time as his manager. Keep the faith. Stop fearing and support the team. We might be poor but if we are so are the 6/7 teams around us. Ps. Everton ain't out of this either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
