Why we are in the bottom 3...

[The Wizard]

Because we refuse to play a team that suits the championship, the majority of teams that are successful at this level have rock solid midfielders, not lightweight midfields (JFC, Gardner & Tex against Millwall )

My team to change our fortunes would be something like this:

Walton (IMO is he's a better keeper than Stockdale)

Calde
Greer
Dunk
Bennett

Holla
Ince
JFC (Give the poor guy a more creative role and stop ruining him or Diarra if we sign him.

E.Bennett
Bent
March

Or 4-4-2 taking Ince out for Baldock.

And there we go, it's not that difficult is it (although I would swap bruno for Calde and the keepers). No kamikaze full backs and no central midfielders covering those full backs leaving us open down the wings and through the centre.

How many fans would have reminded patient falling into the bottom 3 having won 3 games? Personally I'm amazed the abuse wasn't worse prior to the Millwall game.

Decent fans. We never stopped supporting the team when we were bottom of the football league for 7 months.

Slightly different circumstances wouldn't you say?

 

[Hamilton]

Because we took our eye off the ball.

 

[nwgull]

Exactly. So why are we not giving full support to the 11 men on the pitch? What is going on there is ALL that matters for 90 minutes, and proper support is the best and only way that we can positively affect that.

Fulham, Leeds, Birmingham and Bolton have changed their managers. We have not scored enough goals. We are getting gradually worse and lost 2 recent crunch games which we really should have won. In theory it's not too late but in a couple of months I suspect it will be.

 

[Tony Meolas Loan Spell]

Because the manager is an IDIOT

Burke has basically bought players that dont fit the managers system (im not going to say sh1t because they are not apart from maybe COG)

The assistant is an arse who shouts alot from the touchlime and he players have switched off


And he still plays Gardner.

This is why we are bottom three. This is why WE WILL go down.

On Friday, when the Millwall goal went in and the 'fans' got on the players backs I knew that there was no chance of the team being lifted to go on and beat a very poor Millwall team. Even at half pace we very nearly got a point. For me that was 3 points lost due to the 'boo boys'.

With that 3 points we wouldn't be bottom 3. Ok, so the problem are a little deeper but the Tread is 'Why we are in the bottom 3'

So the supporters who go pay their money to go to the Amex have to be described now as 'fans' in inverted commas? Insulting, IMHO.

 

[Barnham Seagull]

Bloom has put to much trust in Barber and Burke who have sold the system we. Currently have to Bloom.

This has lead to poor signings an unbalanced squad, the loss of two managers, poor coaches, an even poorer assistant and hiring the only manager who sounded positive about our internal system.

IMHO

Pretty much sums it up.

We DO have some reasonable players, who are currently devoid of any confidence because we have a Manager who is clueless when it comes to tactics, formations, is incapable of inspiring any of these said players, and has zero idea as to what is his best 11.

 

[El Presidente]

Because we took our eye off the ball.

Bit like the defence do a couple of times each match.

No they are 'Boo boys' in inverted commas. Insulting or just descriptive - you decide.

Gardner goes back in 2 games time. Unless we do the unthinkable and extend his loan.

This and keep playing JFC no matter what is a big reason why we are a bottom 3 team - squad simply isn't good enough

With the options available to us IMHO Gardner and JFC are certain to start as the best of a bad bunch.

I'm afraid you are the one who referred to 'fans' in a derogatory way.

Would probably disagree

 

[perseus]

If Sami was to come out and say "we know what the problems are and we are doing our best to solve them" instead of a useless silence, fans would understand more.

Or if the results were getting better, not steadily worse.

For reasons better known to the managership, performances have got steadily worse since the Spurs debacle. Before that they were up and down, mostly down.

Unlike Norwich when they got rid of Hughton, we have only got Nathan Jones which might things even worse.

None as consistent as Gardner and JFC who are not the best but generally reliable.
