Guest Jack the Hat Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 I am by nature a very optimistic person, to the point where I had a bet last week on Wednesday getting promotion. The odds were good and I still believed. But after last night's performance I realise that we have no chance of being promoted. It's not just because of the 10 points, but the abject nature of the display. Okay we started well but the last 30 minutes what a shambles. We ended up trying to play everything through nuhiu , who as much as I like, is a player we should have grown out of had we advanced the way we should have. If we play like that against United and they play the way they played against Bristol city, then we are going to get an even bigger pasting when we go to the lane. Please please please Mr Chansiri pulled the trigger now to give the new manager a bit of time to bed in before the next derby game. At least then we may salvage a bit of pride and dignity from this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asteener1867 Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 I switched off when Norwich got the second....You could see what was coming as soon as Wednesday scored than did f.ook all.... Defended carlos up til then , but that was a stark highlight of the timidity with which we are playing at the moment. Totally in control without even having to extend ourselves, then simple apathetic "going through the motions" and letting Norwich get back into the game Bloody awful performance for which there are no excuses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiJ Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 At the moment...not much. A change of manager, an upturn in form and a strong finish to the season (very unlikely to get into top 6) is the best I think we can look forward to imo. Of course, the main point is the manager needs booting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike84 Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 I think this season is pretty much written off without so much as a whimper. Really disappointing considering the build up, 150 anniversary. Everything that could possibly go wrong this season has done. A new manager, evaluate the players we have and should be keeping, clear out in the summer and start again. As things stand at the moment i' d be happy with a top half finish.

MysticOwl Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 6th is possible if things change right now.... The blades are on a decline so that 6th spot is up for grabs. If things change with or without carlos.....who knows, but things do need to change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wath-owl Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 Just hit 50 points. That's all that matters now. Better teams than us have sleepwalked into a relegation battle. Anyone thinking we're too good for that is kidding themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like three at back and wingbacks, maybe give the lad Penney a chance on left, even if just to replace Reach. Feel at this stage of season there may be no better time than to do something like that.

fredmciverslovechild Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 You always get one side which comes up from mid-table to make a late dash for a play off place. So the season isn't over by any means. The problem is with Carlos in charge there is no way that team will be us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holmowl Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 New manager this week, galvanise fans and players, two home wins against a promotion cert and a play-off rival, and we are back in the hunt. But if we keep Carlos we may be looking down not up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love your optimism mate, having lost faith in Carlos myself I hope you are correct but somehow I don't see us beating Wolves and Boro even if Pep Guardiola becomes our new manager Is there an 'optimisticowl' if not you can now be it.

Walt Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 Replace CC as it's obvious he's out of his depth. Give the new lad (Dean Smith) 5 seconds to say "we need to be fitter, add some pace to the group and move a few on" The season is not lost just yet as the league is poor, we need two or three players (as we did after the play off defeat to Hull) and a formation change to give us a chance. Oh and it's funny how often the players out of favour / injured seem to spring to life under a new manager Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archieswfc Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 With a change now and a good 6 game run, we are back in contention for 6th place. With no change it's a matter of not getting dragged into a relegation battle. Trouble is, the clocks ticking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
outlaw pete Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 I have to say that the back four from last night are not fit to play in the 1st Divison never mind the Championship. Did they ever win a header in the box from a Norwich corner ? How did we ever buy van Aken, Fox and Jones, not fit to wear the blue and white of Wednesday, and Loovens is well past his sell buy date. The club is in an awful mess on and off the pitch and it's begining to remind me of the seventies. It could take five to ten years to sort this mess out or another JC.

Guest Copthorneowl Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 (edited) A lot of discussion and opinions being made about the value of some of our older players and how any new manager will be able to assess their usefulness and move them on for new blood. Sorry lads but this is the world of pro football these guys aged 30 and over on wages of 20k plus of which there are said to be several will categorically not be moved out anymore than we could do so with McGugan and Urby etc., we are stuck with them they will stay on big wages with us until their contracts run out.

britpunk77 Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 Getting a new manager in ASAP will give him time to assess and revolutionise the squad during January and play some Blitzkrieg Footy during the 2nd half of the season to give us every chance of a top six finish. That's a start to try and salvage something from this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Farrell Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 Lots to salvage. Carlos is dead in the water. Bring in a new Manager, and use January to build for next season. Have a good positive second half to the season, and then start well and on the front foot next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
