whetstonefox Posted 15 October 2022 Share Posted 15 October 2022 If we do get relegated, and there is no doubt it’s more likely than not, it’ll be the most disappointing relegation I’ve endured down the years just because the attacking quality should have seen us at least mid table but clearly squandered by a terrible defence, arrogant manager and no apparent urgency at the top. Previous relegations I’ve witnessed at least a sense of inevitability about them. 1978- terrible managerial appt, awful signings 1981- young team lacking experience, if we had stayed up that year I always wonder what Jock Wallace could have achieved. 1987- a poor managerial appointment and a team that looked weaker each year after promotion in 1983. 1995 - a team that just lacked a lot of quality for its first season in the premier league. Losing Little didn’t help but probably still gone down if he had stayed. 2002 Peter Taylor 2004 - should perhaps have stayed up , never known a team to lose so many points late on or from great positions - Wolves!! 2008 - a circus of a season off the pitch, total drudgery on the pitch. With the points total and goals conceded a tad unlucky but balanced against a toothless attack. culmination of mediocre appointments and players. 2023? On paper a team that should have been mid table but the mixture of an arrogant, but bored/frustrated ,manager and and drift at the top of the club proved too much too overcome. In affect sleepwalked into the championship. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

splinterdream Posted 15 October 2022 Share Posted 15 October 2022 we totally dominated Palace today but just didnt have that finish in the final third. Palace beat Leeds who we have next, Wolves looked shocking today against Forest who we beat 4 nil, it's all about teams we all have left to play but I'm on the optimistic bus, if we can put in performances like today every week, but with the finish, we'll have no problem. We didn't play like a bottom 3 side today imo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This season we've been nothing short of an embarrassment barring Forest and today if you wanna include that as a good performance. Forest are as shit as us. Other than that I just don't see an argument to suggest there are actually 3 teams worse than us. If you mean by squad talent then I fully agree that we're not the worst but he has no idea how to organise them and let them thrive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We conceded 22 goals in our first 8 games, winning zero games. Today we drew to a Palace side that came here for a draw, who were there for the taking. Even when we are finally relegated we’ll have people claiming we were too good for relegation and unlucky. The running of this club is an absolute shambles, from top to bottom, the squad has been mismanaged, contracts have been given out willy nilly, the transfers have been disastrous, the manager has been given too much power and actively is calling out the fans and the board, the board is silent and giving the fans nothing, the fans would rather argue with themselves than actually face up to the problems and even the ****ing ticket office has been pulling stunts for years and getting away with it scot free. Maybe we do need a relegation and start again from scratch, because it’s proper in the gutter stuff what we’re having to witness week in week out, on all aspects of this football club.

99.1% BLUE Posted 15 October 2022 Share Posted 15 October 2022 In almost every aspect of my life I have some level of control or influence. I can do something about whatever is unfolding in front of me. This is different, it feels alien, we can all see how our club is being overcome by the rot. And we are powerless to it… This is the source of my frustration… what can I do!? What can any of us do!? How can we influence the club to make a change.

I genuinely don't think there's much of a gap between 8th-10th and the top of the championship, as has been shown by Leeds and Brentford finishing near mid table in the last couple of years.

I'm trying to use this as my source of comfort. I'm not supportive of the people doing this to us or the direction we're going in so what's the point in getting upset? I've seen some people try to parallels to this shit show with Nigel Pearson's great escape team and its quite frankly incomparable. That squad and manager had bollocks and it was clear to see what we were trying to do. Not to mention the difference in resources the two have had.

Maybe we do need a relegation and start again from scratch, because it’s proper in the gutter stuff what we’re having to witness week in week out, on all aspects of this football club. I think each match can be analysed in different ways, but the crux of it is we have some players in the first team who may have the quality but are questionably not giving 100%. The first 55 minutes against Brentford we looked brilliant and were cruising, we tired in the heat though and Brentfords fresh legs wiped the floor with us, a Rodgers brain fart. Arsenal and Spurs we went for it and at a certain point just gave up. I think at times we just havent had the strength of character amongst the team required to battle for 90 minutes for the win. We showed that we can do it against Forest as I think there was a bit of revenge for the cup result in their heads, but some of the other games some of the players have given up. I'm someone who does think it isn't entirely Rodgers fault but thinks a new manager would probably help, we do have the players to get out of this though if they're motivated enough 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dames Posted 15 October 2022 Share Posted 15 October 2022 We really needed 9 points from the last 3 games to begin to pull away but instead we ended up with 4 points in what is our easiest run of games this season. Unless the manager is changed within the next 2 games we are toast. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
