Season over?

[Robbieboro]

It's a bit of a joke to be honest that we entered January 3 points or whatever behind the playoffs ! We then lost Latte Lath , our other forward is a kid who himself is injured. We then proceeded to sell Rogers and replace him with no one. We have signed 3 left backs this season and gave a new contract to another - who was then sent out on loan 6 months later. And the 3 we signed I'm not sure any are really up to the required standard.

How we felt we could carry on challenging the second half of the season, when we entered January knowing we needed a striker and that's before Injuries and the sale of Rogers.

We have zero pace as well

 

[Quicksilvera]

Manager not supported in either transfer window. We are a club with zero ambition. We only hear from the club at season ticket renewal time.

Give over man.

 

[Concrete Dreams]

We are spent. Just passing time and fulfilling fixtures now. Bring on 24/25

 

[On The Bob]

Our goals against are just as big a problem. We're the ninth top scorers in the league and have conceded the tenth most goals.
6th placed Sunderland have scored the same number of goals as us.
5th placed WBA have scored one less.

We would be fine if we didn't have to score every week just to get a draw.

I agree. But the way we play means that we’re never going to be water tight defensively.

Last season we just scored more than the opposition. Likewise, as we were so good in the final third, we kept the ball a lot more in more advanced positions. This in itself can help the defence.

Akpom was such an outlet and helped us build play from the back. Our backline is under more pressure this season vs. Last, it shows.

The loss of quality vs. Last season has hurt us in many ways. We just aren’t good enough to mount a serious push.

 

[Oooo]

Yes, felt it after the Rotherham game and even more so today

 

[brattleboro]

the season is effectivley over,although im sure theres a few who cant see it that way

As people said about Akpom, the goals were the headline but perhaps his greatest strength was that you could smash the ball into him at halfway and he would control it and get it wide to build an attack.

Now that ball comes back at us with alarming regularity. Rogers was beginning to give us a grip but we were unable to retain his services.

Your right we’re still fighting to stay up

 

[GingerTravel]

I'm normally an optimist, but we'd have to go on one hell of a run to give ourselves a shot now. Poor first half did for us today.

 

[LeeMiller]

6 points behind with a game in hand

All over?

I think so. Too many times I’ve left games I a d thought we were only just thought in this part, or that. That is the norm. We are not a million miles away, but enough to see we are consistently not quite good enough

If you reckon 75 points is needed then we need to win another 10 games. No chance

 

[TeaCider]

I'd say so.

We've not played properly well in months, and we'd need to hit promotion form to turn it around.

It's not going to happen.

 

[parmoboy]

Play this team wherever possible.

Give that front four an opportunity to click, because it could be our front four next season, and let's also have a proper look at Thomas and O'Brien, so we can make a judgement regarding whether we want to sign them on permanent deals.

Obrien! yet to see him play well for us. Howson needs to return asap

 

[JM14]

6 points behind with a game in hand

All over?

Definitely, only really 6th place left. Hull had a fantastic window and are far stronger than us, so are Coventry. We also don’t have a recognised striker for weeks yet

 

[parmoboy]

Underwhelmed by his performance today but it was his first start since coming back from a long-term injury and I don't think he's actually played that many games for us in midfield.

I'd still like to see a bit more before I make a fair judgement.

 

[newyddion]

Sadly I think so. Far too much to do now to get sixth. So what do we need to see before the end of the season?

Azaz to settle in.

A decent run of form and fitness from Lath.

A few clean sheets.

It’s not over.. but we’ve got a lot of ground to make up. We have the capability.. but do we have the fitness?

I think Norwich will be the turning point.,

but as a loan player. What’s the point? He cost Forest £10m we aren’t going to buy him.

i know it’s over,
Still I cling!

 

[Centralscrutinizer]

Season over with 16 matches left. That's the spirit

 

[The Ruthsayer]

It is. I’m usually pretty optimistic, but looking at the quality of the teams above us, i’d say we have minimal chance of making even the top 8.
