[Mutts Nuts]

There is no rot the problem is obvious to all,Tony is not spending enough on strikers Gus said it Allen Mullary said it we all know it

For once, you've probably got it spot on.

What about FFP, they are the rules of the game now

When Barber rocked up and thought it more important to win off field awards than on the pitch

Is it because of FFP or could they be using that as an excuse because TB accountant has said that he has reached a limit so no more spending for a while just a thought he has after all spent over £1.25m

This thread is hilarious. Whether Oscar is the right man or not, there is no rot. The last 3 years count as one of the most successful periods in the club's history. If it isn't good enough, you might be supporting the wrong team.

On the pitch it has to be after the Charity Shield victory in 1910.

Crofts injury was more significant than many would appreciate.

That's just not true- we have the strikers. The problem we have is we can't get the ball to them in goal scoring positions.

I have total faith that the time to change things is not 8 months in to a 5 year project when the targets set for this season are still very much in sight. How can you call it a season long bad patch when we are where we are in the table? It's absolute rubbish.

The time to judge Oscar is at the end of next season, and not before. As long as there is no danger of relegation, which there won't be, he should be given the time to develop and build his team and his culture. These things take time. Bloom took the decision to take on a guy with no experience of this division, so it would be completely and utterly wrong to get rid of him after such a short time, especially when he is well within reach of the targets he was set, even after a ridiculously unlucky injury crisis.

It's sad that football has come to the point where a manager is in fear of his job because he lost three games in a row, after being one of the form teams in the division before them. It shows the intelligence of your average football fan really.

Excellent post. Rome wasn't built in a day etc. give the man a chance to bring in his own players for his system.

I've started to re read "build a bonfire" to remind myself what the dark days were like...this then helps to remove single game frustrations when comparing to real drama and upset at bhafc. And for the record, the rot set in after losing at WEMBLEY to Notts county 1991 playoff final, that's when we started to drop like a stone...

This.

Usual ROTR bollocks thread.

Buying a bloke who runs around alot from Peterborough instead of keeping Murray. Agreed. The biggest mistake in recent years.

CMS was on target for 20 goals last season before his injury, hardly a mistake.

 

[Justice]

Well it worked for two of our last actual goalscorers, Glen Murray and Ashley Barnes. They got regular abuse from the crowd and it spurred them on to, er, piss off to somewhere where the fans weren't complete bellends.

If you believe that your the bellend, Barnes and Murray both wanted more money end of.

 

[nwgull]

It's like a load of spoilt kids crying because they can't get their own way. This is competitive sport; your team can't always win, and it'd be dull if it did. If you can't deal with 3 losses in a row then you need to give up being a fan. Liverpool are the team you want to be supporting this year by all accounts.

 

[Prettyboyshaw]

That's nonsense, that's exactly what people keep saying last year and we ended up finishing 4th. It's what happens in the Championship.

We've lost three games in a row, so what? Before that we'd won 5 in 7 or something. I didn't hear people saying something was deeply wrong with the club then. Football teams do not win every single game, and every term goes through bad patches. It happens. We'll get through this one and then guess what, we'll have another one at some point, and all the bedwetters with nothing else going on in their lives will start crying and demanding we sack the manager again. It's pathetic, it really is.

We have won a few before the last 3 but it doesn't hide the fact we haven't played well most of the season. Loads of players under par negative tactics plus the injuries that can't be blamed on the manager. By being just outside the playoffs just shows that we could and have should have been certs for the playoffs at least. Chance missed like last season when we should have kicked on. We can't keep harping back to look where we have come from, we are here now with massive crowds and season ticket holders and need to start acting like a big club now we have big boys toys.
