The Plot to Escape Relegation Thread 2015.

How much 'holding our own' against Swansea depicts how far we have fallen.  If they get through this there simply must be radical changes of policy in the summer.

Surely your not questioning the policies that brought the likes of Keane, Cole and Senderos to the club?

[nodge]

Well let's hope McNulty's predictions for the top 4 are wrong. He's got us to lose all 4 away games with a goal difference of -9.

Is anyone else's life pretty much dominated by this whole r********n nightmare?

Is anyone else's life pretty much dominated by this whole r********n nightmare? 

I shouldn't admit it, but yes this is very slow, very painful and very much déjà vu.

This is going to the last game I can just feel it.

I really hope not.  My best mate is a Burnley fan.  He'll be in the ground. He also cares a lot about Villa.  Neither of us want a last day winner takes all scenario.

Bacuna was our weak spot not Clark.

That's the way I see it. Very hard to support any argument that Clark was at fault for the goal.

The fact that the player he was supposed to be marking scored the goal might be a flaw in the argument

You miss the point. If Bacuna hadn't been caught etc etc
Defending that cross was mission impossible

I think it's one of those goals where I'm not sure it's worth pointing blame at any specific player.

The reason that we conceded it was that we were pushing forward trying to get a winner, which left space at the back. I'm pretty sure that at some point during Sherwood's tenure that pushing for a winner at 0-0 will go in our favour, this time it didn't.

It already has in the first game vs Albion. Last minute goals are a kick in the balls and often more memorable than the ones when we win.

Yup, good point.

Those two games could just have easily seen their endings switched with West Brom snatching a late winner on the break and Saturday seeing us do it.

And even then, had Sinclair showed a bit more composure in the last minute, the policy would have seen us end with a deserved draw.  We'll be fine.

[exigo]

And under Sherwood we're more likely to win and lose over two games, than draw both. It's better for points, but not doing my ticker much good.

Are those the designs for next seasons Season Ticket ?

I think the QPR match is a lifeline, man Utd, spurs and man city one after another would have put us in the bottom 3, might still do

The pressure on that QPR game will be immense, if we can handle that and win I think we will stay up if we lose I reckon we will drop
