The Plot to Escape Relegation Thread 2015.

Clark kept us at 0/0 by HT, great goaline block

Yes, correct. But push came to shove with the goal and he should have been stronger. Good player, doing well, but still learning the dirty bits of the game.

Their goal was not Clarks fault at all.

He had  gotten onto the wrong side of Gomis which was poor. And should have been a bit cuter and pulled Gomis back when still ten yeards out of the box. At worse a yellow card and missing Old trafford.

Bacuna's fault, as soon as the sub came on should have switched full backs over as Monteiro is a class player

That's the manager's call. He can't just get beaten once and then run across to the other side of the pitch and tell Hutton to swap with him.

I didn't say it was not the managers call. He got skinned straight away and yet, it is the managers fault there imo

[OCD]

You said it was "Bacuna's fault", not "It was Sherwood's fault for not switching Bacuna and Hutton over or not giving Bacuna more support." I said in the post match thread that Sherwood should have taken action after the first time he was beaten so I wouldn't have disagreed with that.

I'd be fully focused on qpr . If Benteke needs resting (even Clark 9 bookings ?) so be it. Hopefully vlaar senderos cissoko are going to show up soon.
Beat qpr and I think we will be ok.

I vaguely recall something about the punishment for ten bookings lessening a bit at the end of March, like a clean slate or something.

Not sure though.

"Suspensions are automatically imposed for accumulating 5, 10, or 15 cautions in a season. There are cut-off dates for receiving a sanction as a result of accumulated cautions...If they received ten cautions by the second Sunday in April, a ban would apply."

So Clark has to avoid a booking in the United, QPR and Tottenham games to avoid a 2-game ban.

It can't be very often that all 3 of the promoted teams make up the bottom 3 going in to the last couple of months of the season. 2 already look close to doomed, if Burnley go down that must be the first time in years all 3 have gone straight back down.

Last (and only) time it occurred was 1997/98, Barnsley, Bolton Wanderers, Crystal Palace. The same season the three clubs relegated the previous season filled the top three spots in Div 1 as it was then, Forest, Middlesbrough, Sunderland. But for Clive Mendonca and Michael Gray they would have all gone up as well, Charlton beating Sunderland in the play-off final.

As long as 3 are off qpr .

QPR game has become massive. It'll be a bonus to get anything at United or Spurs so beating QPR I am sure in Sherwood's mind is the priority.

It would be so nice if we could beat Manure, QPR and Spurs and be safe by the time we play the FA Cup semi final.
