Haydnator 45 Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Got to be taking 4 points at least from our next two. But you never know with this club what you're going to get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trooper 940 Posted January 14, 2016 Author Share Posted January 14, 2016 We are currently 5 points worse off than the relegation season P21 Pts 23 position 11th 2008/09 P21 Pts 18 position 19th 2015/16 We must get back to winning ways & 3 pointers picking up an odd point here & there simply isn't good enough we are in the stage of the season were you look around and hope that teams around you are having worse results than ourselves.

Dr Gloom 21794 Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 The annoying thing is there's a half decent team in there somewhere, but yes we're right in the shit. We need a run of runs quickly. 7 wins should hopefully be enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Gloom 21794 Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Even though our points tally is more alarming, I'm more confident about survival than last year, when we were awful all year. At least there's the odd good performance to build on. We just need to somehow get a run of wins, one or two to start with should breed confidence and there's enough ability there to win games. We need to start taking chances and fast. Crying out for someone like Remy on loan. The problem is the longer we keep playing well and not picking up the points performances deserve, the harder it's going to be to get out of it.

The Fish 10682 Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 I'm hoping Shelvey will dramatically improve the quality of chances that fall to our strikers, and that he allows us to build attacks, instead of operating solely as a counter attack side.

StoneColdStephenIreland 74 Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 I think we'll be alright, if we get a LB in and McLaren sticks with the formation of the last few games then we should be alright as we have a lot more quality than teams around us.

Dr Gloom 21794 Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 (edited) Crying out for a left back. Though I don't really get why Uvavu never got another chance. He did nowt wrong, looked a much better bet than Dummet, who I've yet to see put a convincing performance in in that position.

The Fish 10682 Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 My biggest concern is that we raise our game against the big clubs & still can't pick up 3pts. If Shelvey, Saivet (plus anyone else we bring in) can translate average performances against average teams into wins, and good performances against the top clubs into points, well, we'll shoot up the table, leaving the others around us in our wake as we surge into the heady heights of 15th!

Dickie 0 Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Aye that's my worry as well. Plus almost all the other teams down there are either getting results and/or playing well. In years gone by when we've either gone down or looked like going down I've always looked at the table and though "there's bound to be 3 worse teams than us at the end of the season". Although I think our performances under McLaren have on average been better than for a good few years, I am worried that there doesn't seem to be any totally hopeless teams around us, apart from Villa.

Alex 34783 Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 I suppose the 'positive' is the owner will probably realise we need a LB and a striker now too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
