Nonsense. Also Bloom should carry some of the blame for this. You sell two if your best centre backs (one mid-season) and don’t replace either then you can’t complain if injuries bite you badly.
The BT sports team were saying the same.

Both Norwich and Leeds have lost their last five games too
Leeds have no goals and conceded plenty
plus they just parted company with their manager.
Let's see if that helps eh?

Still think we have 1 win left in us somewhere. 36 points will be enough to survive.

Those 10 points gleaned out of the final 51 were generally grim, even with a derby win at Selhurst.
Surprisingly, as bad as that was, we only went on a 4 consecutive game losing streak during that period.
With 28 league games played so far, I thought I'd check on the stats per 7 game stretch.
Games 1-7: 14 points, 8 goals scored, 5 goals conceded.
Games 8-14: 5 points, 5 goals scored, 10 goals conceded
Games 15-21: 10 points, 9 goals scored, 7 goals conceded
Games 22-28: 4 points, 4 goals scored, 12 goals conceded
Clearly the last 7 games have been the worst of the lot in every respect.
The fact that Albion have only scored once in the last 5 games is also worrying.

Brave post sir.
Blaming TB for anything on this forum is close to sacrilege….
I agree with you btw.

Scraping survival feels even worse than usual when you’ve had about two thirds of a great season to get there I expect

With our budget and spending power, I don't expect anymore. I hope for better but too many fans need a reality check and look at what many clubs above us are spending compared to ourselves. I'm still proud that we can even compete in the best league in the world. If you want to see us spend a bit more then feel free to donate £100m or more to the club. I'm sure Tony will take it.

Nope, I would prefer to see us spend less and turn a profit every year. Don’t care if that means relegation. It’s the way a football club should be run. Also, I have no interest in further lining the pockets of footballers.
I had thought the same with today being that solitary win, as we always raise our game for Liverpool. Followed by a series of losses and draws.
Norwich likely to be that next chance.
Oh, I think they're quite nice.

Not really, we are where we deserve to be, yes you get some bad and good luck throughout a season. Staying in this league is an achievement worthy of being proud of.
Indeed, and I've no desire to see us relegated and struggling to get back up again. Not only that, some seem to think that it would be more exciting to see us win a few more games, should we go down. The reality is, there's no guarantee of even that - maybe League 1, if we keep all of our better current players?

With the consistent failure to improve our striking options and selling defenders without replacements, I also don't expect anymore.
(I'm pretty sure you meant 'any more' as in 'any greater success' rather than 'any longer'. But for now, both meanings could apply.)

I disagree. I think we can do better with what we have. We have a lot of decent players. Biss, Tross, Maupay, Mac Argie, Moder, Pocket Rocket, Cucu, Veltman. They are all international players from decent countries and can play.
But we're too SLOW.
We are so PREDICTABLE
Sanchez got the ball 4/5/6 times when Liverpool were all in our half. He stands there waiting for them to get back in shape to release the ball. Doesn't see the runs of Solly, Tross (who would have been 1 on 1),Maupay 2-3x and so on.
How many times did we go back to Sanchez from inside their half? 6-8-10-12 times?
How many times did Liverpool go back to Allison? I can't remember any, 2 or 3 at the most.
We are just slow and predictable. Been the same for game after game.

Agreed. £50m for Webster and not going large on a goal scorer was a mistake. Conceivably he hoped that we would muddle through and maybe find a goal scorer or two on the cheap; meanwhile take some profit to cover his enforced Covid investment. Understandable but it is inconsistent with aim to be top 10 club.

I’d like to see us win a few more games this season.
I want to see us get better, not worse, and not just be satisfied with losing a truckload of games on the basis we don’t need to win them
