Stupid individual errors are costing us. Even today we had plenty of decent attacking opportunities. I'm again very disappointed but you have to allow for the fact this is a very inexperienced team. Can you call them "opportunities" really? We had 1 shot on goal. At home. We were shit, mate.

Add in that we made a load of stupid mistakes, had a number of players below par and we're probably lucky it was only 4. We've been saying the same thing all season. At Spurs stupid mistakes let them back in the game late which we ended up losing. Against Bournemouth stupid mistakes gifted 2 goals and we lost that. In every game we have lost stupid mistakes have cost us. Even in the win vs Norwich a stupid mistake cost as goal. The question is why are we still making stupid mistakes week after week? Why has a manager like Steve Bruce, who we all saw hardly has an amazing team managed to do what is needed to climb to a very solid mid table position. Or Chris Wilder not having spent much at all over the last few seasons got his promoted side to a very solid top half position. This comes down to the manager, who is revealiong himself to be both naive and dare I say it arrogant in his unwillingness to adapt. His stubborness to continue to persevere with a CF who is struggling is mind boggling. If it's not working try something else. Change things up. This is not going to end well for Dean Smith because new contract or not if we start to get detached from the mid table postions then he'll be gone. He hasn't got another striker. Kodjia is no good post-injury. Let's see what we look like in February.

If they decide he's not the man for the job then they should sack him, i'm just not needy enough to demand an interview saying that.Management has to improve, on field production has to improve.. that's the CEOs job, to make sure that's happening.

Quote from: Small Rodent on December 08, 2019, 04:25:20 PMDon’t blame Wesley for being crap at the moment.Blame the board for thinking they could get away with this forward line in the transfer window.Unforgivable.Saying that, I’d drop him for Trez as a forward. All this big centre forward holding up balls stuff is so old.We'd all like another striker but think what spoilt fuckers we sound blaming the board after the amount they have spent saving this club from the total mess it was in.

Teams at the bottom of the do not string 3-4 wins together on the bounce for a reason. If we can get minimum 9 points from the next five, we will be in a much healthier position. It does not take a massive run of results to be in a much healthier position in the league as it is so tight across the entire bottom half.The worry is whether or not today knocked confidence. We'll know within the first 45 minutes of the next match how good a manager Smith is and this group of players.
There must be a striker in our reserves?

Kodjia is no good post-injury. Let's see what we look like in February.We simply don't know that for sure because he hasn't been given a run of games. He seems to do ok for Ivory Coast whenever he goes away with them. I would give him two or three games because he will need to get into things but he offers a very different way of playing. That or we stick AEG up there with Trez out wide. We simply have to play a different way because this, right now is not working.
Is there any indication that money will be made available in January? I'd say that there's a pretty good argument to be made by the chairman that Smith has had enough money already.
