So who is capable then week in week out of getting results with a limited squad and no powell against sides with 10x+ yhe transfer budget?
When Martinez did it year after year he was deemed to be shit, so who is capable that will play the 442 exciting football that we all so dearly crave?
Who wants 442?
Our form went to shit because Cook messed around with the formation and our approach to play once injuries hit. Massey’s pace was a loss but all other positions could have been covered with the existing squad. We are unrecognisable from the team that started the season, irrespective of personnel. The closest we got was when down to ten men against Derby. The shackles came off and we looked better than at any other game these past 2-3 months.
The Premier League is a massive gulf in quality over the Championship. Excellent sides can still be relegated given the resources of the opposition. In the Championship only poor sides go down. There isn’t the strength in depth. The odd season you get an outsatanding side or two, but most can beat each other on their day.
Our form the last few months has us bottom of the league. Below sides like Bolton, Ipswich, Rotherham and Millwall. While the likes of QPR and Hull are now pulling well out of sight. The better managers will learn from their mistakes. When you hit a 2-3 month slump and see no signs of improvement, no signs of adapting, then you have to worry.[/quote]
Last 5 games we are 23rd.
Last 6 games we are 23rd.
Last 10 games we aren’t even in the bottom 3.
How far back we going in regards to recent form?
Either way we are outside the bottom 3 in the actual table which is exactly where we want to be. The sides below us either have to suddenly win 2 or manage 4 draws without us picking up anything to pass us. I know which position I’d rather be in.[/quote]
I appreciate that we are maybe where we want to be at this present moment but it’s where we are heading that worries me! We all know that once you get into that bottom three things start to get pretty desperate!We have first hand knowledge of this in recent seasons! If things continue the way they are going then I’m afraid that sentiment must go out of the window !
