Sam would “change it up” he’d get the lads playing a... certain type of game. Big Sam would come in and get us up to that lovely mid table position where we could be proud. we’d be proud, right?

wooster 134 Posted February 25, 2020 The only way you could enjoy the ride at Wolverhampton was to go there in the expectation of losing 4-0 or worse. At the start of the season it was being stated that it was a positive that most of the squad hadn't experienced relegation. Unless the squad changes significantly that won't be the case now. It is such a shame that the momentum from winning the Championship was drained out of the team with the significant injury problems in the early part of the season. Sheff Utd have shown how that momentum can help you out-perform expectations as long as it is retained. Once lost it can't be recovered in this league.

We then took 13 points from a possible 18 and put ourselves in pole position to survive before absolutely ****ting the bed at Fulham. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not say we will- to be honest I thought that team showed a bit more fight than this one- even in the crap run we grabbed a 1-1 draw with Pompey despite having 10 men for most of it and the 4-4 comeback v Boro. I can't picture this team doing the same. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ROBFLECK 132 Posted February 25, 2020 C'mon , be honest , R u enjoying a ride where you just can't buy a win despite playing decently at times? 4 wins in 27 , goal difference of -27 ? Not a single back to back victory... I'm very sorry to be down in the dumps about that... yet I feel there are a lot of Canary fans around me that are just as disappointed. Or do you expect fans to be jumping for joy about it? I'm going to the Sheffield United game and I will be supporting my team . But I will be disappointed and silenced for a while if we let in a tenth minute goal because we yet again lacked some power in midfield and it is blatant to see that our defense is not good enough for the PL... I feel that's human and normal for a fan that wants his club to stay in the league...isn't it? Rob Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This. it happens to teams every season, whether it's Leicester in 14/15, Southampton this season or Hull in the championship last season. (to name some completely random examples) Right now we look terrible, but so do so many of these teams - until suddenly they don't. We need that change in form/belief pretty soon though. To be clear i'm still 97% sure we will go down, but who knows? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
keelansgrandad 6,679 Posted February 25, 2020 Doesn't really matter if we go down. It will upset a great many who want the EPL at all costs. The lack of summer signings has meant we have gone with what we had and in all fairness they have largely looked physically and tactically out of their depth. But I still like to critique each game at a time and Sunday was really awful. You can;t make it any better. So have a moan then, move on and look forward to Friday and hopefully a better team and a better performance topped off with some goals and a win. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GenerationA47 747 Posted February 25, 2020 Absolutely, 6-0 is a scoreline I don’t anticipate see this season (in either direction..). I’m not happy at having been to most of our worst away defeats and thankfully missed Villa at home. No complete drubbings though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They spent £42m before the season started and committed another £20m in January. Because they have the money, they have better players than we do. How difficult is it for people to understand?
