Gutted, depressed, frustrated, angry, upset the list goes on.
0 points from three homes games is unexceptable and just at a time when 4/5 points would have seen us pull clear. Now we have no games in hand over those above only teams with games in hand over us and if won will leave us deep in it again. Thank god for that run in December that leaves us with some hope but as each game goes by that hope is becoming slim
Who is to blame?
MM - he was dealt a bad hand at the start of the season but he has been given some licence to bring in new players. But my main criticism is this persistence of late to play 3 at the back and move away from a formula that the players seemed to like and bought us success. Please mark go back to a 4-4-2 or 4-4-1-1, but somehow get support to Akinola who runs his nuts off
The players- well they have to carry some responsibility, they make the mistakes defensively at the back that cost the goals and they miss the chances the other end that prevent us from winning games. The injury list continues to grow making the two recent red cards for senior pros irresponsible. Don't think anyone is criticising their effort but we continue to cone up short
But the blame does lie at the feet of RM. what has happened this season hasn't happened overnight, we've been on a downward spiral for years, he has failed to deliver the new ground, failed to back numerous managers and none more so than MM. We came out of the embargo and were promised a busy January but we continue to struggle and in particular strengthen the side in the area most required, upfront .
I still have faith in MM but starting to think that his time may come next season when we see the true manager in him. Unfortunately it's hard not to see that being in the NL something in my 41 years I never thought I would.
We have to believe, we have to try to believe, but it's becoming bloody harder and harder after weeks like we've just witnessed.
The next 4/5 days will define our season. We need 2/3 new players and they must be up front to offer poor Sim the support he deserves for efforts
