At least still 1 team in the PL having scored less goals than us, Sheffield United. May change in a few weeks, though.

We desperately need a new manager and some players. I made the case for Roy staying on at the beginning but bar the highly unlikely scenario of us rescuing something from this game, the loss, lack of idea in front of goal, and conceding from their only touch in our box in the first half just shows how we’re less than the sum of our parts and underperforming by a mile. We need a shake up, a new manager and a couple signings ready to play for the first team. Can’t see it happening, even with yet another long period of us losing every game, which has started and is set to continue. The closest we came to anything was a deflected FK taken by our CB. Says everything. Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!!

Originally posted by DANGERCLOSE We are so predictable boring Agreed. It’s so slow. Our build up play is just awful. I know Roy can only work with what he has and looking at Richard’s for example, he does know what the best 11 are (we should never moan about Schlupp again) but I think we could be in serious trouble by the new year. I get moaned at by my Mrs because I watch pretty much every game of premier league football I can and I’m telling you, there are not 3 worse teams than us right now. We are stale and heading only one way at the moment and the board won’t help when the transfer window opens.

We wont get relegated as there are worst teams than us, but we are so lacking in quality up front, i dont expect us to buy anyone in Jan, but i expect at least 2/3 loans, Roy is looking his age, why we dont try some youngsters, it has always been Roy's one downfall, under 21s beat Man city 3-0 yesterday, must be some decent enough to bring into the first team. “That’s a joke son, I say, that’s a joke.” “Nice boy, but he’s sharp as a throw pillow.” “He’s so dumb he thinks a Mexican border pays rent” “ “Son… I say, son, some people are so narrow minded they can look through a keyhole with both eyes.”__ Forhorn Leghorn

Westham not getting out of second gear and us having no final ball and urgency. Let’s hope we up the pace in second half but I doubt we have the players to do it? Lots of awful passes by us as well, constantly losing possession. Will take 1:0 down and shame deflection didn’t go in for us. Midfield looks the scratch put together that it is which really doesn’t help :-(

Play the Brazilian ffs. Literally what do we have to lose . Give the guy a proper chance. Hughes off. Franca on . If this doesn’t happen then Roy can do one. This team needs to take risks because we ain’t got the overall skill level to play football as a team. We need play makers

Originally posted by southnorwoodhill It wouldn't sadden me overly to see Roy outed, tactically he is totally one dimensional, but whoever takes over patently has only half a team of PL standard players. maybe 3 or 4 if they showed their true potential could move on to better things, but playing in this side with this manager is clearly holding them back. Incidentally I watched the highlights of the U21 game versus Man City and it was a shocking novelty to see young players bursting with pace in the right areas, creating overlaps and generally looking threatening in attack. It wouldn't sadden me at all to see Roy gone. He should never of been appointed for another year in the first place. It was the cheap and least ambitious option by our board to keep him on. We have one win in 7 games and that win wasn't a good performance either. If we get nothing out of Bournemouth on Wednesday we then face Liverpool, Man City, Brighton and Chelsea.. I said a few weeks back I think we'll finish between 13th and 17th and was called a 'drama queen'.. Based on our current form and performance level I cannot see it being any higher Don't waste your time with jealousy. Sometimes your ahead, sometimes your behind, the race is long. But in the end it's only with yourself!!

The only positive things to look towards in this game is we have been so poor can it get any worse and we are known for putting in better shift second half until the end when we throw it away. Expect Roy to wait to do changes as well if one of the younger players is lucky he may get more then 10 min game time.
