Re: How much trouble are we in?
A team and manager completely bereft of ideas. Nothing will change in January we all know the boards beliefs about the mid year transfer window and Bielsa wouldn’t play them anyway - we are going back to the black hole of the championship

Liam Cooper just claimed
In the second half we played well, but conceded on counter attack.
Only half true Liam

The bench today showed our total lack of depth.

Because they're the only ones to call on and fully deserve their opportunity given their performances for the 23's. They should have been put in last season when we were on the up and dominant in games but Bielsa thought better of it and now we are looking to them to get us out of the s**t...once again it's piss poor management.rab_rant wrote: But our bench had gelhardt and Sommerville who everybody has been crying out for.

Not easy for young players to show their potential without our best players in the team & other seniors totally out of form.BGwhite wrote: ↑Sat Oct 16, 2021 5:26 pm Because they're the only ones to call on and fully deserve their opportunity given their performances for the 23's.

Unfair to expect anything from the kids today.

Re: How much trouble are we in?
If the players genuinely believe that ,we most certainly are up s**t creek. Said last season that some of the players being raved about weren't quite as good as was thought . I hope some improve, depth of squad no where near
Re: How much trouble are we in?
We're in big trouble. Our coach has taken us as far as he can and I fear he has now lost the plot. We need a coach with proven ability to sort out the mess we're in. Half of our squad just can't perform at this level and we need some organisation in defence. The midfield is too lightweight and our forwards ineffective - we need a proven coach ASAP. Phillips and Raphina will leave in the summer so our situation could be desperate.

Re: How much trouble are we in?
So are we saying that something like a full squad available we would still be in this mess?

Re: How much trouble are we in?
With our best XI we'd be fine, although we are nowhere near as sharp & fluent as last season.
Problem is we have an injury-prone squad lacking depth, with our midfield a massive concern & no back-up for Bamford.
Re: How much trouble are we in?
Hyperthetical question really. Have we ever had a fully fit squad. Bit ironic given that Bielsa is a stickler for fitness.Irish Ian wrote:So are we saying that something like a full squad available we would still be in this mess?

Re: How much trouble are we in?
Just angry and frustrated, as the likes of myself, CJay, 64, White Riot could see this was happening and we needed to improve, but the club sat back and did nothing. Why is it fans could see what would happen but the club couldn't? We got arrogant thinking this team was good enough and we could sit back and live off that. We are hoping for 3 worse teams, but I can't see where the goals are coming from. The delusions of the board and management have put us in the position and all I can say is we better hope for 3 worse teams.
Re: How much trouble are we in?
It's not their fault. They should've been given a chance last season, but no Roberts and Costa every week.
Re: How much trouble are we in?
This would be worse than 2004, because 2004 seemed inevitable as we were in financial trouble. This would come from arrogance and delusion, and it was completely avoidable.
Re: How much trouble are we in?
3 players? Bamford, Firpo, Ayling, Koch, Philip's (5).....that's more than 3, its almost half a teamYorkshireSquare wrote: ↑Sat Oct 16, 2021 4:00 pm A Premier League team should not fall apart with 3 players missing.
