The race for the Top 4 - RUNNERS UP, a game to spare

Re: The race for the Top 4

The fact that people say 'we've got the easiest run-in' and such statements just goes to show that the fans are as complacent about 'weaker' opposition as the players seem to have been at times.

some of our worst dross has come against the Burnley's and QPRs of the league, so our run-in doesnt matter, but our form does! and it's poor.

Yep, we're 8th in the form table since the start of 2015. 22 points from 13 games. Liverpool have 33 and are top of the form table. I'm worried about that top 4 finish I must admit, and people who complain that we're criticising Pellegrini because we lost at Burnley have their heads in the sand imo.

This is the form table since the murkysiders last lost;

Not nice reading.

Since the turn of the year we are lower down that that.

I wouldn't doubt it at all. We were on a great run back in mid-december, which ground to a halt with the desmond against Burnley on the sunday after Christmas. I'd guess that since New Year's day, we'd be around 11-12th in the form table.

I see Bodgers the cabbage head is trying to put pressure on us by claiming candlepool can finish 2nd..

About sums it up for me as well. There's not a team in the top two divisions I'd be confident of beating at the moment. All you have to be is organised in defence and possessed of a bit of pace up front and we fold like a cheap card table. Pellegrini has got 9 games to sort this fucking mess out, but nothing about his recent post match statements gives me any confidence that he will

Re: The race for the Top 4

Form is temporary. Our form will improve I'm sure. In a couple of games these Ron tables could look completely different.

Re: The race for the Top 4

I think the fact others have to play each other will probably pull us through, they can't all win every game

1st thing we have to do is beat WBA on Saturday then things we looks a bit better

Re: The race for the Top 4

Last March/April we dropped points in 3 games out of 4, the dippers won all of theirs in the same period.

Form can change.

This may be true but overlooks the fact that at the moment WE don't look like we can win ANY game!
