Liam1owls Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 Is it the defence or the strikers! Only two goals from strikers this season in the league and one doesn't start! And the defence we have conceded Nearly 2 goals every game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

i used to be sc_owl Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 We had a team that was invincible for the last third of last season. There was an obvious good spirit around the place and a great feeling around the club with players wanting to play for us. Instead of tweaking the squad and adding a bit of quality here and there we've signed a whole new team and ripped the soul out of last seasons squad. We've changed our captain. We've dropped our talismanic centre-back in Llera. We've also got a few loan players here whose long term futures are obviously not with us, and one of those players I'm not even convinced wants to be here. We've made some baffling decisions tactically in matches. Some players are being dropped for no apparent reason, while others can't get a look in i.e. Bywater and COGBA despite the players who've replaced them not looking convincing. We've lost our coach and not replaced him adequately. We've brought in a new centre back who is no better than Purse and made him Captain meaning that a) his mistakes are magnified b) the rest of the team have a Captain they don't know and c) he's now essentially undroppable because he's DJ's man and he's Captain. Apart from all that we're fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scram Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 Absolutely nothing to do with getting promotion and regularly facing international and premier class players then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest foreverSWFC Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 Absolutely nothing to do with getting promotion and regularly facing international and premier class players then? Defeats to Palace and Huddersfield don't explain that, both teams who have similar squads to our own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beholder Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 Absolutely nothing to do with getting promotion and regularly facing international and premier class players then? Main difference this season is that oppositions half chances are being converted. That and a few unlucky refereeing decisions which are contributing to the sense that there is a crisis. Confidence is leeching away match by match and we are now panicking at the front, in the middle and at the back. The players are better than they are playing.

airborne_rat_of_s6 Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 Absolutely nothing to do with getting promotion and regularly facing international and premier class players then? Nope - most of the players brought in are supposed to be of the same level. Loss of confidence has done us in. Worrying that our new captain for the semedo has handed it back. Lack of leaders and some calamitous performances haven't helped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KivoOwl Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 Would be nice to get our injured players back fit and settled in the team. Kirkland Buxton Taylor Gardner Reda Antonio Semedo McCabe JJ O'Grady Rodri Think that's a very good side, it's just a shame we haven't had the chance to try it too often Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airborne_rat_of_s6 Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 How many international or Premier class players did Huddersfield and Palace have? I agree - the Wednesday of the past two decades is back - making pap teams look good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest gringo69 Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 Last season we were two divisions above non league, this season we are one division below the Premiership. Thats my definition of the gulf in difference I think everybody has underestimated. Key players gone or injured. New signings not cutting it. Existing players not able to 'step up' a league. Loss of confidence/winning mentality. Increase in errors and higher chance of errors being punished. Bit of bad luck. Frustration setting in, tactics and formations not working, downward spiral.

trevdi9 Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 In a nutshell too many changes ,moral and camaraderie seems to have been blown out of the water ,that was our strength last season , and it's all but dissapeared this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Confidence is leeching away match by match and we are now panicking at the front, in the middle and at the back. The players are better than they are playing. Completely agree - but if we were better organised and defended as a unit then we would reduce the number of half chances that sides are getting and take the pressure off our beleaguered defence. Last season we often went one down before bouncing back. Then we were playing sides which did not have the players to press and put the result beyond us - now we are getting punished.

SiJ Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 We are basically starting again. New team, new players etc. Hopefully it is just a case of teething problems so to speak. Also worth acknowledging the fact that the Championship is an incredibly tough league nowadays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
