Syteanric 1 Posted January 16, 2016 Sorry I thought we were 2 places and 4 points away from relegation...guess they ended the season now and decided to relegate us anyway Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Canary Wundaboy 1,358 Posted January 16, 2016 Let''s take stock quickly:We have Pinto coming in, along with Klose.Jarvis is back from injury and now permanent.With Grabban gone we''re left with Lafferty, Jerome and Mbokani up front.I think today showed we need to rethink the back 4, you could argue that Klose and Pinto means AN has done just that. Hoolahan was awful today, so either we need to move VOO up into that role or get someone in. And up front, well Afobe showed that goals win games today, and we need goals. If our 4 current strikers (assuming Hooper comes back) can''t deliver then we need to spend to guarantee those goals (although I remain convinced that a player in Lafferty''s mould would have been a better better in games like today.

Guest Posted January 16, 2016 I think some people must just lack any sort of rational thought processes, or they''re so dense it''s beyond belief.This is the sort of post I would expect to see on a Villa board, not a team that are still 4 points outside of the bottom three with 9 points out of the last 18!

birchfest 397 Posted January 16, 2016 I''m upset, but let''s not get delirious now... We are still points above the bottom 3 and a couple of things to remember:We still have the second half of the transfer window to goWe still have Newcastle, Sunderland, Watford, Chelsea, Man U and West Ham to come at home where we can pick up points and hopefully winsWe still have Villa, WBA, Swansea, palace, everton away where on our day we could take all 3For evey game like today we have a game like Man U away where for whatever reason the stars alineAnd finally we only have to be the 4th worst team haha, I still think we are better than Swansea, Newcastle, Sunderland and villa at the least!

Guest Posted January 16, 2016 We''re in a relegation battle without doubt, and I''m certainly not being complacent - there is every chance we will be in the bottom three come the end of the season, especially if we carry on playing like we did today.But seriously, to suggest the fat lady is about to start signing... come on.

Indy 3,283 Posted January 16, 2016 Did she take a big swig of red wine?It was and still is all about 17th at the end of 38 games.....if we don''t get above that then we deserve to be relegated......It doesn''t help in attracting players a performance like that.

CJ 0 Posted January 16, 2016 Once you keep being thrashed away from home and depend on home form sure signal isn''t going to work.Sorry do not think AN knows what to do anymore , could try panic buys now that all best players have gone like Afobe and Austin.Oh wait there''s Naismith who still can''t decide what to do, it is honestly pathetic to behold.

Indy 3,283 Posted January 16, 2016 To be fair Morty, the score doesn''t represent what I heard on the radio, we should have been down to 10 me and a defo penalty too!We sounded like we were thrashed in the manner rather than score!But heck poor January after a very solid December, hopefully we get a reaction against Liverpool, but a couple new faces wouldn''t go a miss before then.

It was more of a thrashing than the 6-2 at Newcastle, where we were 3-2 behind and laying siege to their goal before he brought Tettey off. The complete absence of fight, coupled with the numerous additional chances and penalty shouts, make this a thrashing in my book. It genuinely could have been six or seven.

I have seen it so many times, if one or two players have an off day then you can carry them, but if that one or two suddenly becomes five or six, you get a performance like today..On paper it was a very good team, though I have to consider maybe a bit too attacking, it sounded like we got sussed out a bit down the flanks. And we have to stop relying on Hoolahan and accommodating him, the time is coming very soon where we need to find something that works without him.Yes, people seem to have forgotten December very quickly...

Katie Borkins 1 Posted January 16, 2016 My experience is fat ladies open their mouths several times every day, usually to gorge on cake.They then cry and then they eat more cake. Or maybe down one of those Starbucks syrup drinks, followed by cake.In fact, most fat ladies tend to have their mouths open most of the time.I''d pop my pen1s in, but I''m selective.
