Give 3 reasons why we've been relegated

[curly]

1. money
2. money
3. oh yes i nearly forgot MONEY!!

Yeah yeah 1. McGhee 2. McGhee 3. McGhee but apart from that...

1.The players aren't good enough for the Championship. Sorry but they just aren't. NONE of them would have got in Readings side. Or even the Ipswich side come to that. We've got good players who've been great servants but are coming to the end of their careers in this div (Chippy, Guy) we've bought lightweights (Carole, Frutos, CKR) and we've got inexperienced young players who are still learning their trade (Lynch, El Abd, Hinsh) or have lost confidence (Hammond, Jakey)

Nevermind three reasons. Sadly reason 1 sums it up all too well.

I don't get this: I don't see how we can have players no good for this division, no team spirit and no tactical awareness and yet stay in with a chance until the end of April. If all three of those were true, we'd have been relegated in February, something kept us going.


The real three reasons are of course:

1) Stanley
2) Archer
3) Bellotti

Just seen this post. Nail has been squarely hit on the head.

McGhee's excuses:

1.Ground
2.Striker
3.Ref was crap

Mine:

1.McGhee
2.Poor football
3.Money

1. Not good enough
2. Sussex people are not giving sussex Lib Dems a hard time
3. see 2.

 

[dougdeep]

Because we are one of the three worse teams in the league.

 

[goldstone]

1. McGhee's constant swapping around of the striking partnership until GNW arrived. He should have picked two and stuck with them for at least half a dozen games so that they got used to playing together. Probably CKR and OGH (or even McCammon!)

2. Playing Frutos and Carole together in the team for too long. Gave us insufficient defensive cover.

3. McGhee's poor use of substitutes.

Weakening the squad that stayed up on the last day of the season last year.

Not spending any of the cash we recieved for them on replacements.

Not finding new investers to come into the club.

 

[BenElton'sBrother]

1) A combined forward line who couldn't score in a brothel.

2) a perceived complete lack of fight and or of passion from all the players when it most mattered.

3) the inspirational tactical genius of McGhee, starting with the capitulation at home to Milwall, we've been f***ed ever since.

He's right y'know. We was fuckt before 2005 was out.


And then the January transfer came and went.



Basically the club didn't want to stay in this division BADLY enough

Ah that'll be it then.Wondered why we went down.

Absolutely spot on mate. The McGhee argument is intertwined within these two statements such that, depending on your viewpoint, a case could be made for him being seen as either the reason or a symptom of these trueisms.

Well we didn't exactly invest in the team did we?

 

[Bakesy]

NOT


GOOD



ENOUGH

 

[HAMPSHIRE DAVE]

Would be tough whoever was in charge.
Ground,etc,etc.
Don't think we would have gone down under M.Adams?
Look how well Coventry have improved postion wise since he went there.

Sheffield Wednesday. Before the transfer deadline, there were four teams not good enough and we were better than Wednesday. They did something about it, signing the players that made the difference.

Last season, injuries cost us a lot. Without them we would have been safe a long time before the end.

So we sold two players, a long term injury to Adam Hinsh, so everybody knows (except Ipswich) that you can't get rid of all your best players and stay up.

I was beginning to have doubts about MM after Derby last season when his tactics were decidedly iffy. But his tactics were rather dictated by the players.

At the beginning of the season before we sold Virgo, we needed a midfielder, a left back and a striker. I think it is the midfield. We did not create the chances for the striker to miss.

The youth players could be an illusion. Ipswich have not kept most of their players in their FA Youth Cup winning squad.

 

[chips and gravy]

1. Last year we took 16 points off the bottom three teams. This year we took only 5 against the other three teams closest to us in the division

2. Adam Virgo

3. Drawing too many games early on in the season when we were in the driving seat.

 

[Yorkie]

The FACT that we have lowest playing budget in the division and until we get Falmer it will always be the case.

The FACT that we need to sell players like Harding and our best player and highest goalscorer last season, Virgo.

The FACT that we have been with out the inspiration of Charlie Oatway for around half the season. Charlie may not be the most talented footballer, but if he'd played all season with his motivational skills on the pitch and in the dresing room, we might just have picked up a few more points.

The voice of reason.

We have a manager who is tactically very naive.

We have a manager who has poor man management skills.

We have a Chairman who is big on words and small on deeds.

But no doubt we'll take League 1 by storm next season.

WE have a manager who has never been relegated out of this division before with any other club he has been at and a Chairman who saved this club.
