Its doable
It is. But no matter what happens Warnock must go. We need to start over.
Unfortunately Southampton seem to be improving match by match,whilst we seem to be deteriorating.
It’s because they have much better players than us.Quote:

where's this magical win coming from
Brighton still have to play Arsenal, Chelsea, Man City and Spurs.Quote:

It's not just against the top sides, it's any side.Quote:

Definitely. Aside from that chance from a corner early on we looked like we were never going to score today whereas Wolves could have done us about 5-0 if they were better in front of goal.Quote:

It’s astounding how bad we have become since winning two in the bounce. What’s happened to Arter and Cam? Sounds like we have no midfield and the defence has gone to sh*t. We never had an attack anyway.....think we are gone to be honest, we huffed nd puffed for a bit. Just can’t see us getting 6 points even.
Too true.Quote:

We're very reliant on the defence not conceding then hoping that we can take one of our 2 or 3 half chances. In a way it's not really fair on players like Bamba, Morrison, Bennett etc, none of them are great defensively and all three of them have at least one mistake or lapse of concentration per game, i include Manga as well. This is the difference, all of our defenders can do alright for 89 minutes but one lapse in concentration is all it takes, and they're all guilty of it. The only defender we have who plays within his limitations is Peltier, atleast he has the intelligence to do so. If it wasn't for Etheridge, today could've been 5.Quote:

At least we're both in the same situation, with no game for 3 weeks, so they can't stack up points whilst we're not playing.
The two wins against Bournemouth and Southampton are very much at odds with the form we have been in during 2019
The sucker punch is Southampton have Huddersfield at Home while we're away to Man Utd on the last day.
3 wins and 2 draws is remaining unbeaten against all the non-Top 6 teams we play.Quote:

I'm not trying to put a damper on things, but we do need a huge reversal of fortune.
Whatever, it seems you need to have a squad worth 200 million and spend over 75/80 million in wages just to survive in the PL.
it takes time to build up a squad to that level or a very clever manager with contacts like wolves did. We are nowhere near either of these two figures, if we did survive we’d get a few more players and no doubt the wages would rise too. Even the jacks were paying out 90 million last season. Is it worth it?
