[Humour] Them up the road

[Sussex Nomad]

How?!

Good point!

 

[Se20]

Let's see where we both are 10 games from now....

That's what I believe.
We're now starting a run of games where we need to pick up regular points. Hodgson has got us well organised, and I feel we will go on a little run of wins in these games.
If, after these games, we are still bottom, I will hold my hands up and admit defeat.
Two important months, with lots of six pointers.

Sadly they looked pretty decent against Spurs today

It don’t matter how good they look they need to get points on the board playing well and losing won’t help em a jot don’t forget they lost and drew with some fairly rank average teams including West Ham and Swansea

Genuine questions here. Are you embarrassed so far? Do you think you can stay up? Do you like your owner (I mean the blondy)?

Deeply embarrassed.
After the next run of games, I'll let you know.
What relevance is that ?

Just asking, relevance went out the window the day I signed up here.

 

[The Fifth Column]

We are part of a run that sees them play teams mid and lower in the table, they must target these games and they need a good run to have a hope of not being bottom at Christmas, and the negativity this brings.

Strictly speaking we are not part of that equation as we are top half of the table

I watched the Spurs v Palace game and you are playing better than at the beginning of the season without a doubt especially at the back and I reckon a big part of that is having Speroni in goal rather than Hennessey. He gives the defenders confidence whereas Hennessey seems to create panic. If you're going to start winning games though, you need to start scoring goals and I know I'm saying this with my Albion goggles on but your makeshift strikers just look out of their depth. You're going to need Cabaye, Townsend and Zaha to start chipping in big time.

Benteke' back next game, and he needs to hit the ground running.
We're creating chances every game, even under FDB, we need to start putting them away .

Was it the correct decision to dump FdB?

100%

If we average a point a game from the next 10, you'll need to average 2.2 per game (something of a turn around) just to get ahead one point ahead of us. Possible, but I'll take your money of you fancy a bet.

100%

So, please don't think I'm fishing or looking for the last word, I'm not, when do you think you will settle down with one manager?

 

[BadFish]

I think they will stay up, They have decent players and now a manager that can get them organised.

Both teams will end up close together in the league. I am excited that we're in with a good chance to finish above them.

As much as I like to get heavily stuck into the piss-taking about you lot, there's still a hell of a lot of football to be played, obviously, and any damage done in 11 games can be more than undone in the 27 that follow.

You may be as short as 1/2 to go down, but that price could lengthen quickly if you turn what have been decent enough performances into positive results and Benteke, being fed by Zaha, could help with that a lot.

The fact is you've been to four of the top six away whereas we've only had to do that once so far. You don't have to play another top 6 side until December 28th and before then we have to go to Manchester United, Spurs, Chelsea and host Liverpool. You really shouldn't be 11 points adrift of us by the time you face Arsenal.

I bet you would !

 

[Stat Brother]

According to Experimental361, so far this season them up the road have been:-

Winning 5.5% Drawing 39.6% Losing 54.8%


Unsurprisingly we are:-

25.4% - 49.3% - 25.4%

How very Hughton

But you weren't scoring with Benteke in the side before he got injured. Genuine question - If you were creating chances under both FdB and Hodgson then what do you think will be different when Benteke comes back that he will start converting the chances?

 

[Sussex Nomad]

God knows.

So it's safe to say not all is rosy at Selhurst right now, regarding club employment, not the position you find yourselves in.
