Trying too hard! Can that be a thing? And if it is, why is there no reset when things are going wrong?
That truly is my question.. Should we go into each game as if we can win it? Warne has said this week that he'd be happy to lose 10 - 0 against QPR and win another 3. I've said it and others have said it, we should have been choosing the matches that we can win and go all out for them with our best team.
Best team? What is our best team? My opinion is that we have too many good midfielders creating an inbalance in the team. Playing folk out of position isn't the best thing but sometimes it works as a stop gap. Vaulks was good at it and we profitted from him filling in for a game but the next game he normally had a stinker and it's not just him because it's like having a bricky doing carpentary. He can get by but when anything skilled comes along he struggles.
I don't want to be over critical btu I fear for our management team if we don't stay up this season. It's the first time I've felt that the fans may be being heard over the sense that needed to be.
Look, if we go down would that be a shock? If we stayed up it would be a fantastic achievement so no it wouldn't be. Whilst ever the players wages are so ridiculously high then well run clubs like our will always struggle.
The fantastic achievement of staying up will bring in extra cash or stop us losing as much. Being in the Championship for a long period is the only way that the team will improve and the more likely we are at being able to buy and sell players at a higer value.
This is shît or bust week! If we don't do well then the likelyhood of us going down is stronger. BUT! We have players back from injury! Players we know can pull the rabbit out of the hat, grab the bull by the horns, players stronger than an ox, and players that in two shakes of a lambs tail can have turned this around!
We can do this! We can survivve and we can be in this division in August!
Come on everyone let's get behind the boys and support them through this most difficult period!
Enjoy the Match the best you can guys and gals!
