Our current form is abysmal there is only one other team in the Premiership without a win in the last five matches and that is Wolves. There are also only three teams who have gathered less points in the same period Bolton, Birmingham & Wolves.
I know we have the players now to really make an impact but so far I see no signs of it happening. The good teams take control of games and control the midfield we on the other hand give the ball back to the opposition far too quickly this of cause gives added pressure to a defence that frankly stinks.
I know knee jerk reactions never help but how much longer will our owner be prepared to allow the current team management to preside over the shambles we have witnessed over the last four matches I am not including the Villa game as a point was not a bad result.
The current situation would have been a lot worse if Fulham had taken the two easy chances they squandered and if Birmingham had converted their penalty, and don't get me going on the Burnley match where we allowed a team who had previously only managed two goals in five away matches (both against Blackburn) to score three times - pathetic is the only word that springs to mind.
Just what do we practice in training it certainly isn't defending or team work.
