If the rot continues what happens ?

[East Level 2]

We keep turning up, singing our hearts out and cheering on our team. What else would you do? :-)

I seem to recall many thousands turning up in most of our relegation seasons.
It was all we could do then, but now we can suggest improvements, and moan like hell, thanks to Tim Berners-Lee.

We keep the faith and trust in the manager it will come right.

Well that's alrighty then.

 

[Brightwell Bros.]

I honestly think if we’d have kept those three fit, plus Dias, our problems would be nowhere near what they are now. We’d probably still be right in the title race.

It's really that simple. If you have three of Stones, Dias, Akanji and Ake continuously fit we are in a title race (and probably coming up a bit short).

This is an odd thread indeed.

Nothing changes the fact that we are all blues and will continue to support our team.

We are not going to sack the manager who has given us everything.

We are not self entitled and never will be. It's been good and it was good when we were not good.

Most of the answers to the question that the OP raises are stating what won't happen or the reasons for this downturn, so yes it's a bit of a weird one. But the question does remain. Taking it the extreme, it'd depend how bad and how long it went on for. And if it didn't, things would have improved.

We've been in nearly.every fame inn this slump, only to give away leads and points, the issue is we cannot seems.to do more than 60-65 mins in a game without tiring or losing concenteation, thisnhas happened with all those player in a some points.

seems.more an all round fitness thing or mental block developed where we try holding on than go for the kill.
Everyone keep saying get Akanji back yet has had a mistake ridden season mainly due to fitness, having players back not fully fit won't fix this, but we have had to do it and it is costing us.

We can either carry on doing the same or concede we need to buy 3-4 or play the kids untill every experienced player is 100%, a season trophyless won't harm us and blues will accept that.

I'm not overly optimistic but I hope you are right but let's take it one point at a time

1 players back from injury, apart from Bobb the rest are injury prone so they may come back but are likely to be injured again.

2 pep has had a while to make adjustments so far he has failed quite badly

3 pride, unlike some I don't think we have thrown in the towel it's a combination of injuries, age, poor signings and other teams copying the great man with better current resources.

4 Jan transfer we agree it's a bit of a lottery

5 we have been beaten or drew to some very average sides. Apart from Villa the fixtures coming up should be decent until mid Jan then the ones after are very difficult. If we are not top 4 by mid Jan with a couple of good signings we are in trouble.

I wouldn't put a penny on us finishing top 4, doesn't mean we won't though

Dour much?

Dour much?

Only If that's your incorrect word for realism

I think it's more psychological now, it has to be with the stupid late capitulations we're witnessing. We do seem a fragile bunch when the opposition score now
