Its a definite top half and bottom half divide this year. We've played 3 of the top half so far. We need to trash the others

Have a night off from worrying about Stoke, to protect your mental health. I did went to watch my local side Buckley Town protect their impressive 2 game winning run, los 5-2 at home to Gresford, at Least the Dingles gave us a good laugh !

Not really sure at this point Albert, I hope we can turn it around but as you say the turmoil is not a new phase as we have had 8 months to address the slide in the teams performance, thank fuck we beat West Ham to give us that 9th place finish, the down side is that I think that 9th place has masked a lot of work that was required to be undertaken before this season kicked off that unfortunately is yet to be addressed, we had a decent first half point tally with a few decent performances but the second half was dire, hey ho lets see how the season pans out and if the worst comes to the worst that championship does not look to bad now with some big close away ties and some exciting distant away ties.....
Oooooo and I just may get a little more room at the home games when all the premier league JCL fuck off agian!!

Relativity speaking my theory was Big Sam at the end of last season but Coates let that ship sail, considering the abject transfer dealings from Mark and his team this summer I think it has to be a foreign appointment, Rafa could do the job but maybe you are correct and he would prefer to stay in the Championship, have you any ideas since you have only managed one so far ?

We will learn a lot over the next few games , not too good to go down , but if we sort ourselves out could be lower mid this season easily, not sure its a squad that can make top 10 even at its best , others have improved a lot

Post by PotterLog on Sept 13, 2016 23:53:27 GMT
No. We've got better players and a better manager. Too good to go down only applies to a very select few nowadays No I'm pretty sure it's still the 17 like always

"The Stoke"
Is that what you call our club?

Post by ParaPsych on Sept 14, 2016 0:09:10 GMT
No.
A club of our size can quickly go down though. One poor season of finishing say 14th or lower could easily be followed by a drop the next season. I think it's quite unlikely we'll go down immediately following a top half finish, not that we should take that for granted. 15th, down, or 13th, 17th, down, something like that is more likely. The poor form lately has me more worried for next season than this unless we turn it around nicely and finish top half again and stop being boring while we're at it. I think we should have enough talent in the squad to see us ok this season either way.
Whenever it happens, hopefully not for a long time, and you can bet you by golly wow it will eventually, it'll feel like it was all over in the blink of an eye.

Mark and his team know they are at a stable club and will be given the time required to make sure we never become an Aston Villa.
Is this simply ...
1. your personal opinion?
or are you
2. suggesting that you have personal inside knowledge of what's going on at the club?
Cheers
It's straight from the horses mouth ( see what I did there?) 😀

Before I start I want to answer my own question by saying I really hope not. However it's not just the fact we're bottom even if it is after only 4 games, it's the actual run of form since January and the manner of some of the defeats. Our confidence is apparently lower than a worms arse, no apparent fight in the team and the manager seems to think we're better than we really are. Gouranga.

Newcastle and Villa's relegation was a culmination of poor decisions made by the club's directors over a number of years. Ashley and Lerner both tried to stop the rot by chopping and changing managers. It made things worse. I don't think it's poor decisions that's at fault for us, or the managers for that matter. How can a team that took the piss against Man City December last year fall away so badly? The only explanation I can see is that the players attitude, commitment, discipline and work rate is way below what should be expected. If I were Hughes I'd bring in some new back room staff, some fresh faces. Niedzwiecki and Bowen work with the players on a daily basis and they don't seem to be having much influence over them.

The league is tougher than it's ever been, Everton were in real danger last season and managed to turn it around so there's no reason why we can't after a few dodgy games at the start of the season
It doesn't feel like it right now but these performances can all of a sudden turn in to good performances, it looks like they've been doing some real work in training on defensive shape so that's a good start
