79Royal The fact is, the players are the same ones who got us to eighth last season.

I've seen this written a few times. Anybody who actually believes the statement can you please explain how it's possible to say it and keep a straight face?

OK, so we are missing Sidwell, but he wasn't the sole reason why we did so well last season. We've seem to have lost that hunger that everyone was talking about. That's the worst thing for me. I c

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRGH!!!!!!!!!

Could somebody please call me an ambulance?

What's your take on the situation then? I'm just trying to find an explaination for our poor form. Why do you think we are so bad at the moment?

Ups and Downs yep

woohoo - what a second half I feel like celebrating!

Ambulance - if you are trying to say that not having Sidwell, Little and Convey in the team this season has had an impact on the way we are playing then I would have to disagree slightly. Little and Convey weren't ever present last season and we seemed to cope without them, mind you we had Seol of course, who everyone slated, although I liked him. The fact is, the club should have made sure that we had proper cover in all positions for just these sort of eventualities, but we didn't, we haven't got the right players and the way things are going we won't be attracting anyone better than we've got come January.

All I'm saying is, contrary to the original statement made, it is not the same group of players. There have been not just one but a number of changes in personnel. That means it's a different team.

My take on the situation is it's a different team that just can't play together. Whereas last season we had a group of players who, whilst not the best players in the world, knew each other well and functioned well as a unit.

we're cetainly having better go of it ths half, we need to be more attacking against teams like this anyway instead of trying to defend at the kick off.

koran · by **koran** » 20 Oct 2007 16:40

According to the BBC statistics we are coming into the game more. Is that the case?

We have had 12 shots against their 10 (OK OK, I know 3 of their's went in!) and 7 corners against their 4

Doesn't seem like a 3-0 game.

Do you think that Convey and Little coming back would make a big difference to us, or do you think that we'd still be missing something?
