lets be realistic, four on the trot aint bad, were not going to win it for a 5th time unless some miracle happens so we now have to concentrate on top 4 to attract the players we need to re build the squad, blame whoever or whatever you like as to why we are in this position, personaly i think its down to two major things, one being the 115, maybe this has side roaded us but the bigger picture is the non intergration of players or shall i say the right players and bringing them into a balanced squad which goes back 4 years or more, there is work to be done now and TBH i think we need a clear out come May of the likes of KDB and Walker 'and there are others who have served us well and sadly they have aged', Peps got 2 years to re build the machine again and im backing him 100%, we go again next season with the 115 behind us and with clear heads, its going to be exiting times with the new stand and the new team,, UP THE BLUES
 
We have had a great run, but this last 5 games is an accumulation of poor squad planning and recruitment over the last few years and over sentimentality over legend players by keeping them longer than they should have.

Vinny had it right years ago, go out on a high. Leave the game before the game leaves you. Some players should take note.
 
No, I agree, it needs turning around. If we don’t beat Forest at home Wednesday week, I’ll be genuinely concerned.
5 in a row has already put in a state of frenzy. Turning this around, will need to happen now.
Our attackers are wasteful, they are awful at finishing, and they seem not to be learning or improving from previous games. Our Midfield is trash. Our defense is super gapping hole, it is non-existent.
 
Title needs changing
Not necessarily, I don’t think there’s a single blue now who expects us to win the title but who knows what impact 2 or 3 top quality signings in January could make.

We’re on a bad run and we look vulnerable but in all the games we’ve lost we’re still creating hatfuls of chances. When they start going in again, as they will, things can turn around quickly
 
We're out of the race in my opinion. We needed to win this to remain within distance. We won't will lose at Andield and that's 11 points behind because they're not doing anything but winning against Southampton

Yeah agree top 4 and a new hungry team for next season but pep needs to tweak it we can't play this controlled slow keep ball football when teams who are as good as us on the ball just sit in defend then keep the ball then look at the ball down the line where they are on us

isnt that a management thing though, im sure i'd hang around as long as i could while on 200k a week, players decline when they hit a certain age although its not a science at what that age is, but good management is not only about winning things its about replacing players at the right time
 
Can't see us winning the league, can you?
Yea why not. We’ve just won the last four and it’s only a few games won or lost and we’re back above Liverpool. Why are you giving up so easily?

We’ve won league titles further behind than this and that’s in march not bloody November

@Cheadle_hulmeBlue

Are you still sticking by this or have you had some smelling salts and come to your senses?

Top 4 is our realistic aim, like I said in match thread.
 
Well it has certainly been an enjoyable decade. All good things must come to an end.
Football is cyclical and this cycle is coming to an end. A combination of bad planning, injuries and other sides getting better and frankly working us out. We are lucky to be on 23 points for me. Our performances on the whole have been poor.

We’ve had average transfer windows (being kind) since the treble…. Even towards the end of that Treble season I felt we were labouring at times. And that’ feeling stayed thru last season. And we are where we are now.

Several players should have been moved on/not bought in over the last 3 or 4 transfer windows. We are paying for those decisions now….
