[Albion] Preparing for the championship

dejavuatbtn said:

It’s the same for all the teams in the bottom half of the table. If they had a bigger nucleus of better players they’d be in the top half where the bed wetting is about finishing top 4 and not the bottom 3. In the bottom half no one is safe. It’s all about the money and which clubs are prepared to gamble it. Sad state of affairs where money is usually the answer to a problem - bit like life really.
Perhaps that’s why I preferred football before the premier league when priorities and values were somewhat different.

With the remaining games we are relying on the kindness of others, Warnock has the knack of getting out of seemingly impossible situations. For all our bluster and 21st century stadium etc we are very possibly going down , I don't blame the manager at all, the squad is borderline adequate.

We need to beat Cardiff and pick up about 3 points from all the other games. It's very do-able!

Loose to Cardiff though and we are totally F-*d.

With the run of recent results, and the run in we have, I am resigned to us playing in the championship next season, unless Houghton pulls some sort of rabbit out of the bag.

We dont have the quality or depth in squad to compete at this level. The fault lies at the managers door, and would not trust him to try to take us straight back up in a competitive division. He would have to go.

How exactly are Cardiff going to over turn five points and a negative 19 goal difference? Have you even looked at their fixtures?

The kindness of the linesman at Cardiff. Even though I don't particularly like Cardiff or their fans I have a lot of sympathy with Warnock about the state of decision making and the need for VAR,

Nothing from that game likely nail in Cardiff's relegation coffin

As I said on another thread:

Cardiff will fight like caged pitbulls against us...it will probably be the ugliest, nastiest, wingefest any of us have ever witnessed and we really don't like to play against teams that come at us. I think the Bournemouth and Newcastle games are more likely to be the home games where we can pick up points.

Christ. So you see no points for us against Bournemouth, Newcastle or Cardiff at the Amex. You see Cardiff overhauling a 5 point, 19 goal deficit when their run-in includes Chelsea tomorrow, visits to Man City and Man Utd, as well as hosting Liverpool. That "resigns" you to us going down ?? We're not 6 points adrift at the foot of the table, we're FIVE POINTS CLEAR of the dropzone. There's clearly still work to do, nobody is under any illusions. But your guff about pulling rabbits from bags (its hats btw), as if we're already in need of snookers to stay up, is utter bobbins.

The fact that we are still 5 points north of the shitstorm proves that we DO have the quality to compete at this level, just as we proved it a year ago. Have a quiet little cry in the corner over losing today if you really feel you need to, but at the same time - get a fvcking grip, and a spine, snowflake. We were shithouse today, it happens. It'll continue to happen, because we're a bang average PL team. But we'll PROBABLY be alright.

Sorry if thats not enough though.

Totally disagree, we are better when teams come at us describing Cardiff as a team that will come at us then saying we are more likely to pick up points against Bournemouth, who are an extremely attacking team?

Oh and by the way Cardiff don’t play anything that even resembles ‘football’ it’s just disgusting hoofing, fouling & long throws, no surprises with Warncock as manager that they play dinosaur football, the players work their bollocks off I grant you but aside from that I can’t stand the way they play.
