[Albion] Exactly how long has this season been petering out for?

[GJN1]

Not saying the players are on the beach already but...

 

[Stat Brother]

Since New Years Day.

 

[oldboyroy]

Since the Roma thrashing? Could go back to the Luton thrashing even!

 

[A1X]

Definitely since the first leg in Rome, probably before that

 

[Seecider]

Its relatively rare as a BHA supporter that the season is over so early, but I rather be playing for a top 10 finish than languishing safe from relegation lower mid table Div 1 or Div 2.

 

[martin tyler]

There not. They got beaten by a better team.
Whether we like it or not the squad in terms of overall quality is less than it was last year in key areas it was unlikely to end the same way this season even without key injuries.

 

[Terry Butcher Tribute Act]

Wolves FA Cup

 

[tedebear]

Petering out? Harsh. We have injruies, we've played more matches than any season ever before and we are in 10th, we lost to the team on the top of the table yesterday. What actually is it that you want? Perfection every match?

 

[oldboyroy]

Wolves FA Cup

Yes, that was a sickener. 1 mistake by Steele 1st couple of mins and we couldn't get back into it. Roberto's mojo lost that night?

 

[Iggle Piggle]

We've scored 4 goals in our last 9 games in all competitions and 1 of those was an own goal.

A while.

 

[HangletonGull]

West Ham away

 

[Stat Brother]

Death by 1000 half arsed performances against the bottom feeders has taken its toll.

 

[The Optimist]

It hasn’t. Everything is going to click back into place and we’ll end the season with 6 wins and 1 draw (against Man City - I’m not completely deluded) and finish 6th!

Since Mitoma got injured,
I knew we would lose against Wolves in the FF Cup and get knocked out of Europe once he joined the injury list , I knew the season was over , indeed said so at the time , I also said our form would drop off , until the last couple of games when most of the injured players would be back , and we might win a couple of games at the end of the season, when it is too late to make much difference,
Basically the club was not prepared for the season , not enough signings in the transfer windows, to cover the players at have left ,

 

[BNthree]

Since New Years Day.

Agree with this; 2024 has been a slow decline compared to 2023.

 

[essbee1]

Losing to Wolves and then bundled out of the EL in the space of 10 days or so.

 

[Justice]

We've scored 4 goals in our last 9 games in all competitions and 1 of those was an own goal.

If we had added Kudus & KDH things would have been a whole lot different.

We always seem to struggle in those games, but have made up for it by performing in the tougher games. We now seem to have lost that fight too.

 

[Durlston]

Since my health-affected hiatus at the end of last year.

It is only a bit of football. No one has died over it - although it sounded very dodgy in Rome. ☹

Also agree. Mitoma makes a massive difference and we have to keep him. When he marauders down that wing drawing 2 or 3 players out to stop him, we have space to create those chances to put away!
