What the **** is going on?
« on: August 05, 2014, 06:46:02 PM »
I haven't been on H&V for a while and I'm sure you are all as concerned as me about our prospects of another season of relegation dodging.

Sorry if you've covered my concerns in other threads but I just wanted to hear some other thoughts.

It seems to me that Keane is now our manager-in-waiting and Lambert has been told by Lerner to play the players who we're paying big wages, and the 'young and hungry' policy has been well and truly binned.

Given is now 'back in the fold' and is going to be at least our sub keeper after Steer has been loaned out. Why? He's a poor 'keeper.
Lowton, who looked a quality player the season before, is now going to be loaned out and replaced with Hutton because he's dared to answer back to Lambert apparently.
Lambert's success in spotting left backs is highlighted by the binning of Luna, Bennett, the letting go of Bertrand and also Stephens (I know he didn't sign him) to be replaced with the relegation-hardened Richardson.
Senderos is going to be Vllar's replacement? Jesus I hope not. Three centre backs this season with Bacuna and Richardson as wing backs? But what's the sense of loaning out the back up full backs when we have an injury or two?
Sylla gone and Helenius and Tonev? Even less depth in the squad..great work Mr. Lambert. Everyone could see they were out of their depth though.
Joe Cole our creative hub? Agbonlahor still going to play his four games a season? Weimann to play his usual 3 minutes a match?
Benteke not fit until October, so Bent up front?
Kozak won't be fit for a while yet, but when he is he will continue his great impersination of Tony Cascarino and has the turning circle of a HGV.
And the return of Charles N'Zogbia after his 'mystery' injury?

I for one am not looking forward to the next few months, I'm pretty certain with the squad we've got we'll be in the bottom three.

What does everyone else think about our chances this season?

Can anyone give me any hope?

Love

Oscar

These questions, and many others, will be answered in the next episode of Soap.

We went into transition under Houllier. Then another deeper one with TSM. Then another transition with PL. And now another with limbo announcement and reversal of the previous strategy.
We are in deep transition and close to the vortex. We may even meet ourselves coming
back.

This is not the void we are looking for.

I am utterly convinced we will be relegated next season. Along with the baggies and Burnley. My only hope is that I am usually completely wrong about these things.

Champions league then?

String theory. See you in the 4th dimension.

No, we have all been focused on our top half push.

Now you mention it though, those are some worrying things.

Burnley WBA and us to go is 40/1. For insurance purposes may have £30 on it.

Don't because one of the others will stay up.
