Looks like 13th to 20th will be one big relegation scrap - 3 out of 8 for the drop and 5 point spread.

Roll up for mystery Marsch show

Yep it looks as tight as a ducks bottom 13th-20th hopey.

Our next 5 league games are make or break - Brentford (H) Forest (A) Scum (H) Everton (A) Southampton (H)

Interesting.....

3 defeats and last 2 anything can happen as they won't lay down for us.

Cant help but wonder how good this side could be with a solid prem league coach.

[ozleeds]

You might be surprised how ****e they are still.

Firpo. Lerentee can never spell it lol Cooper Kotch Rocca Aaronson total garbage, Harrison, Kristo, Ayling past it, Can go on and on.
This guys fault mainly is what MB did had his set players and were his downfall and Marsch is no different.

Not sure Oz. Some of these players can play and play well it’s just the system and tactics hamper them.

We have some very good players and some that need moving on but the good coaches find a way.

If Marsch hasn’t clocked yet that we are vulnerable out wide and especially on the left then he shouldn’t be in professional football.

The CB and full backs are often not in line which plays havoc with playing offside and stepping up. The full backs we have seem to get stuck between holding the player up and trying to win the ball back.

Some have played international football which would suggest it isn’t a lack of ability.

Orta abd Marsch no doubt think they are on the verge of the football equivalent of discovering quantum mechanics albeit quantum mechanics might explain our nonsense defending.

Internationals you say?
Koch is terrible he makes good passes to the opposition can't defend set pieces and is built like a featherweight.
Aaronson is Horrible glad the worst USA manager in history never played him says it all.
Kristo showed just how bad he is in the cup. And Ayling getting games now ahead of him says it all.
Cooper how he gets games for Scotland and us I'll never know.
Larentee international trash.
Pat was bought as a defensive mid somehow we turned him into a slow defender.
We had a great idea of bringing in the best young talent to build a team but we refuse to play them unless we have to and then we find out they can play but send out the old trash every game instead.
Gnonto wasn't going to be played but was needed now he is first picked same as was Summerville, kid was never going to get a go under MB and MArsh comes in we find out kid can play.
We have young keepers and we go get an old man.
If we survive this season which I doubt by the time new owners take over if they do after we go down it will be too late.

[hopelesslyoptimistic]

I hear ya but I quite like Koch and think Aarsonson just needs a breather for a couple of games.

Point was more even good players need a good system and tactics to thrive.

[Monaco_Totty]

Understand your points Hopey.
But the club aint alone in fan disharmony in PL - Liverpool, Hammers & Everton which I'm sure Radz will be aware.

Two more losses & ER will see fans feelings explode.


Would like to think JM will now have players to create more tactical
substitutions.


I liked the MB intensity required in his tactical defensive press but JM's penchant for the swarming all over the pitch like wasps is a joke cos we aint got a clue what to do with the ball if we win it back.


Not made real use of 9 subs named & the 5 that can be used scenario. He never plays anyone off the bench who can slow the tempo & actually put their foot on the ball to deliver a creative pass as its not in his Tactical manual - hence to much reliance on individual brilliance (aka Gnonto) to inspire.


Really hope he succeeds but the ball is in his court now, although never easy to keep all the squad happy with game time his remit is to extract progress from them all.

[hopelesslyoptimistic]

I want him to be a success too but have no faith he will.
