Villanun Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 Too much of last seasons dross still needs clearing out. These are players who showed they didn't have the bottle for a relegation scrap - why did anyone think they'd have the bottle for a promotion fight? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theboyangel Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 It's not out of the question but chances are getting slimmer and slimmer each game. We clearly need reinforcements and it's down to the club to fix it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted January 14, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted January 14, 2017 I sit right now in The Great Western Wolverhampton and concede its gone now. And we deserve a other year here. Nothing I have seen suggests otherwise 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HanoiVillan Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 We won't get anywhere close. The key is to use this time wisely - get prepared for the summer, when we get in a small number of genuinely quality recruits - not yet another whole squad, but a small number who make a big difference - and get the players used to the manager. We're not going down, or anything like it, so there's nothing to *worry* about, it's just a case of getting the whole club into position to make a big push next season.

KJT123 Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 Back-to-back home games coming up against Preston and Bristol City. 6 points minimum. By the time we play Brentford away hopefully we'll have a brand new midfield, a right back and perhaps a striker. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it won't be a *catastrophe* if we only get, say, 4 points. We aren't going up this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodytom Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 All about next season. Literally no chance. Not replacing gestede as a different option and not having a midfielder in place by the 14th jan shows that this is all directed at next season. Get ready for some roller coaster highs watching bruce's men Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markavfc40 Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 The play off ship has now sailed. We'd need around 13 wins from 20 games and a couple of draws and we ain't getting that. Such a waste as given what we have spent and the standard of this division we should have been well in the mix. Roberto Di Mateo wants f**king.

KJT123 Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 @HanoiVillan It's silly to be throwing in the towel now. A few quality signings that can settle down quickly would do the world of good. There are basically eight teams battling for spots 3-6. I personally feel we could finish ahead of the likes of Huddersfield, Reading, Fulham and Norwich. We have a good manager that is proven in this division. Winning the play-offs is probably an unrealistic target but finishing in the top six is definitely achievable with the right signings.

KJT123 Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 To be clear, with the current side and the way we're playing, there's no chance of making the play offs. But I don't think it's unrealistic to put together a good run in the latter stages of the season with some new players in the XI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

limvillian Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 (edited) How sad are we though. As fans. Here talking and worrying about the result and the predicament our club is in hours after full time. When the players who get payed an absolutely ridiculous amount of money to play for the club have already forgotten about the result and are probably dancing and laughing on the bus home or having a beer. How very sad the world of football has become. Edited January 14, 2017 by limvillian 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darrenm Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 To make it possible we need to Not play Hutton, Jedinak, Tshibola, Gabby again. Get in a really good RB, 2 x midfielders, a left winger, Ayew and Kodjia back. Play 4-2-3-1 with Adomah, Ayew/McCormack, new direct left winger as the 3. Grealish is nowhere near direct enough and is easily nullified physically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
