Too good to go down? Ha!

As I said on another post we are awful side

Richard Stearman has won the division.

Ryan Fredericks and Fernando Amorebieta had good game time at Middlesbrough last season (and this in Fernando's case).

Tom Cairney has finished 7th and 9th at Blackburn and 8th at Hull before then.

Tim Ream finished 7th at Bolton.

Chris Baird helped Burnley to the 2nd place.

Andy Lonergan has finished 6th at Preston.

Rohan Ince has finished 6th at Brighton.

Ross McCormack has finished 4th at Cardiff.



That's 9 players we've got that have been big parts of sides to finish in the play offs at least - not including the bright young kids we have like Christensen and Bettinelli, nor those that are solid experienced Championship players like Ryan Tunnicliffe.

A good chunk of our players have a background of being in the top six - and the majority have finished in multiple times in midtable at least. Our squad is not awful, it's underachieving.

With no disrespect intended at all but you need to keep telling yourself that.
The evidence of your eyes will say something quite different, it was apparent right from the start the quality of the players is way below what is required and to top it we do not have a proerly balanced squad where the team is able to play as a team. No manager would get this lot to perform consistently because too many of them do not play like team players.

And to quote what position the teams they came from finished o achieved is hardly a statistically valid way of looking at things. What we need to know is have they done a good job for us in our position, the answer is no.

You could say Jazz richards will play for wales at the euros, he supplied the cross for bale to head in an amazing goal, but that I am afraid does not make him any more than a disappointment at fulham.

They all performed better at other clubs as they were playing in better set-ups with proper management and a stable approach.

We are a basket case.

There's about 21 teams that are too good to go down.. Sadly, we're not looking like one of them.

What will you say when we stay up?
I suspect it will something along the lines of "we were lucky, because bla bla were pants!" Or something along those lines.
Sometime times I think that's what some of you want.

We are a team in transition, due to many circumstances, which has not helped our course.

BUT.... I believe we will survive and better then most think. I also think that we will really respond next season.

If proved wrong, then so be it!

Nobody wants us to go down.
It's just some I think don't look at the whole picture.
We are where we are because we're awful,no defence
for the way we have played most games.
I hope we win all our remaining matches,but I can't see
us Winning one.
I pray I'm wrong.

Fair enough, but a bit of proper support wouldn't go amiss?
Imagine if the team read this board - they probably think they may as well give up!
At home games we are often silent when the await support appear to back their team loudly
We need to stick together, even if we are not completely happy at present!
