This is largely true and shows where the responsibility for our down ward journey truly lies.
Hopefully there's a siege mentality now and Lampard uses that to get the lads to start accruing much needed points

Home form will be enough to stay up.
Can see 9-10 points from the remaining home games:
Wolves
Newcastle
Manchester United
Crytsal Palace
Chelsea
Brentford
Probably only need 1 win away from home. 35 points will be a cert to stay up IMO.

I have been quiet in just trying to see where everything lands in the flurry since Lampard's appointment. That said I think its fair to say that some of our doubts haven't been simply rectified since his appointment. It's not his fault but he isn't also convincing me to elevate himself above the poor process that led up to his hire.
Thelwell comes in after Lampard, a process from precedent that's unwise. If the rationale was the need for immediate results or a new manager bounce, the form seems somewhat comparable to what could have been expected under Duncan. Again that doesn't sit on Frank, but on the clubs side the inconsistencies or repeating of past mistakes from years past, is partially why we are sweating on possibly playing in the championship.
Regardless of survival, I think it's clear that the club needs to get very serious this window if they indeed stay up, or a narrow survival will not be an anomaly. In that regard I think they have to sell their most attractive assets and reinvest, oppose to rely so heavily on such assets. Its unsustainable to be so reliant on a few players quality. DCL and Richy exits are looming, and thus should be planned for or executed while they retain value regardless of the teams form or while the club has some ground in negotiations The club needs to leverage those caveats or mid-side or below finishes will affect their returns. It's harsh but so is the situation where the club has a relatively small pool of sell on potential to finance the future. We need to disperse our quality across the pitch and bench and have funds generated by appreciating assets. We have marginally improved on that end but there is still a constant present fix all attitude in our business. In the immediate I guess its warranted but it has to change.
Lets hope for the best!

Yea Koeman was thriving at Southampton but he built off of the success generated by Poechetto, also at the time Southampton had an exceptional recruiting system called the black box which was very money ball esque in it's design. Before Southampton he had a pretty mediocre career as a manager.
Then Walsh should been hired as a head scout not DOF. He wasn't qualified to perform the duties of that position. Also Koeman basically dictated the transfers during his time as manager generating further issues because of Walsh's naivete. At Southampton recruiting was delegated to other more qualified individuals. Also we replaced Rom with Tosun and Sandro which is just a travesty.
Regarding Brands, yes you're right he was highly regarded but still coming from a vastly inferior league made some decent acquisitions although even the first season there were missteps we still didn't replace Rom. Everton never secured proper depth and his second season was a debacle, through a combination of being undermined and just poor decision making on his part, yet he got his contract extended which was a another inept Moshiri decision.
Sam completed his assignment but overall it negatively impacted Everton because we became saddled with Walcott and tosun. We didn't need a fire fighter we needed a long term manager then. But Moshiri was so fixated on Silva who didn't deserve the hype.
Yes Carlo was a prestigious manager but ill suited for Everton. He hailed from environments abundant with quality players and had no patience to develop a squad as he wanted instant results. The fact brands catered to his transfer demands instead of securing younger promising players that fit the mold of what he envisioned for the squad is another folly he made. Even his Napoli team was saturated with talent and he failed to get the desired response. Quality managers skills can wane. So that leads me to Benitez, who had an impressive CV 15 years ago, even if he wasn't a highly polarizing choice due to his past affiliation, he has also declined in his ability significantly since. Managing in China should of been an obvious clue.
So just a series of debacles overseen by Moshiri and he should rightfully be scrutinized. He's the reason we're battling relegation.
Sorry for the lenthiness but I wanted to be comprehensive in my response.

Looking ahead in the short term, the 13th - 20th March could be a very significant 8 day period. Wolves at home on the 13th, then Newcastle at home on the 17th and then Watford away on the 20th. A real good opportunity to collate some points and create a bit of breathing space that is assuming that those matches don't end up being 11 v 13 again as recent matches have been.
