Mark my words, we will be relegated unless this incompetent manager goes. Playing it safe is only forgiveable if you get a result, doing it and still getting beat easily is just ridiculous
Only trouble is there are 7 games till the window opens, half the season gone bar that Arsenal game.You know that feeling from last season where you could see a team working hard and trying, but never having the belief to convert it all into results? It's back with a vengeance...and we dont have Richarlison to get us out of a hole.
It's terrifying.
Only two strikers in January can save us IMO. There is no one in this squad who can step up, that's for sure.
I suppose you could argue the league is made up of the "Sky Six" (perhaps seven now, with Newcastle's wealth) and the "misc 14". Every now and then you might get a great story where Leics win the league or West Ham push for 4th or a newly promoted team finishes 10th etc; but all in all, it's a bit of a muchness for most of the clubs. Relative low quality with most teams just plodding along, content to be somewhere between 7th and 17th each year.I think we will be saved by other teams being worse than us this season. This only secures are place in the league by the skin of our teeth which is nothing to be proud of. How do we resolve this? Honestly don’t think it can be resolved. The likes of City, Chelsea etc, get stronger while we get weaker. Sadly we appear to be perpetual also rans unless we can win a Cup competition of some description. Depressing![]()
As I say: if we dont get at least two wins and keep clear of the bottom 5 come the WC then FL is gone. Whether you want that or dont, that will be the reality.Only trouble is there are 7 games till the window opens, half the season gone bar that Arsenal game.
We are circling the drain. Only a matter of time.
Our issue will be that we wont be picking up goal scorers or creators in January without obscene numbers we cant afford, no good bringing in players of the calibre of Maupay and McNeil for the sake of bringing players in....And it’s deserved to be honest, criminal negligence given the money spent. I don’t understand this fan base at all, they say protests against a clearly arrogant, inept boardroom has a negative affect on the team when clearly we still play awful and lose without them.
You could see in the recruitment we lack creativity and goal scorers and when people point these things out people get angry . I mean it’s clear as day for god sake.

Has to be at minimum planned during the World Cup break, and at least 1 ready to be announced as the window opensWe have good qualities and can be easily fixed by signing goals scorers.
But we better get them in during January. The owner has been warned now that we cant avoid spending in January.
Add to that the first four games of the season we just wrote off by not having a proper forward , talk about shooting yourself in the footIf you finish 16th, then sell your only good attacker for 60m and then spend the money on other positions, then you will be lucky to stay up.
Our recruitment plan in the summer was fundamentally flawed. We decided to rely on a constantly injured player and sign a Brighton back up. At some point you get relegated when you continually make this many senseless and illogical decisions.
Now I still dont think we will go down this year, but I think we are going to go through the stress and anxiety of it again and it didn't have to be like this and it shouldn't have been like this.
