Orly 277 Posted January 11, 2020 Poor performance all round today. I've already practically given up on avoiding relegation. They'll be better days than this however. Just not today. Onwards and upwards. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Looks like having a grip on the reality of where we are heading and have looked like it for weeks now is seen as hoping for us to lose in your head. As i said ridiculous thing to say. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Clint 221 Posted January 11, 2020 What the hell are those subs about? Tettey and McLean have both been absolutely shocking today. We’re 3-0 down and he takes off our only striker and most creative centre midfielder. I’m starting to wonder about Farke, the inability to read a game and react to it is a major issue. Neither of the above should’ve even come out for the second half, they’ve been thar bad today. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ricardo 7,239 Posted January 11, 2020 1 minute ago, BaltimoreBird said: Losing to ManU today makes no difference, not many were expecting points today regardless. Leading up to this game there 17 matches left. I grouped them in 5 leaving Burnley and ManCity on the back-end. We need 6 or 7 points in each group with wins all very possible against the following. Find a draw or two elsewhere and we're very much in the hunt for survival. I see 35-38 points likely and expect us to get there. Will that keep us safe? Maybe not, but we're not done yet. First 5 matches Bournemouth/Newcastle Second 5 matches Wolves/Southampton/Everton Final 5 matches + Burnley Brighton/Watford/WestHam/Burnley There's faith and there's blind faith. I prefer reality. Relegation was obvious after a dozen games. Time to prepare for next season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Samwam27 517 Posted January 11, 2020 Trouble is, due to Delia & Co's complete lack of ambition, if we lose Farke & Webber, it's back to many years of mediocrity. What a missed opportunity this season. We're back to Doncasters "prudence with ambition" yet Deila just wants prudence! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JF 694 Posted January 11, 2020 We’ve gone into a PL match with every available senior outfield player available in the squad and an 18 year old with no experience as our only option up front. The level of backing that Farke has received this season has been criminal Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ROBFLECK 131 Posted January 11, 2020 How depressing this is, not just the football being played, but the arguing between supporters, the clear lack of ambition of the owners, the fact that our transfer policy has been exposed... last season was one of the best ever, but this is damn depressing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ramrod 258 Posted January 11, 2020 Apart from Max Aarons any of our players thinking they can play on this league for someone else need to realise they lack the all round game for this level. Moments of brilliance are great but you have to do all the other things around game management and solidity. Move to an EPL side and you'll end up 'doing a Murphy.' Career wise they'd be better off with another season in the Championship, hope to get promoted then look to step up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
