In all honesty, never in my wildest dreams did I expect us to lie 18th in the Championship at this stage of the season. I fully expected us to be in, or pushing for a place in the play offs. We now have to accept that we are in a relegation battle and if performances do not improve there is every possibility that we could go down. I have to admit that I will be devastated if this comes to fruition as I am sure that the rest of you must feel the same way.
Norwich winning
Now, down to 19th. In real trouble!
I don't think Ramsey would have come in unless there were assurances in place to strengthen the squad. Despite public announcements of limited funds being available this window, the fact remains that there must be changes. Nearly two weeks to have a good look at the squad for Ramsey, which could mean a busy deadline day.
I don?t think our players and squad are good enough to be anywhere else at the moment tbh.
Maybe we have players who can match players from other teams when it comes to name, experience, strength, speed, technical abilities etc, etc.
But, to make a good player you also need mental strength, the right mentality, grit, fighting spirit, desire etc, etc. And, all in all, too many of our players lack that immensely - and therefore they are inferior to the players of Hull, Millwall etc.
Why, I don?t know, some of them maybe too (old and) complacent, and not hungry enough any more, and some of them may lack it from the start (Iling-Junior?).
You can see that also in many individual sports, two athletes with similar physical attributes and strengths, and the mentally stronger wins, part of the whole package.
We, constantly and repeatedly, fold?
With Norwich getting a great win today - go a goal down to them in midweek and we could be in trouble. Worrying that we are four points off relegation and a few of the sides below us have games in hand. Could we go down? Absolutely we could!
Patel needs to get his hands in his pockets for new players and firstly I would not let Nestor anywhere near the recruitment. Not having a dig at Ramsay but clearly he was the cheap option. Any clues in the word CHEAP?
