Totally agree with the last sentence. Spot on.

Interesting perspective to retain Garde just because a number of the players don't want him there. While it is easier to get rid of the manager, it makes as much of not more sense to get rid of the specific players who are the cause of the issues. We can't let the ring leaders win because they have been winning for too long.

That's exactly the way I feel, that's why I suggested kicking Gabby out the door now don't let him near the squad, the club has to support Garde after shafting him in January but I am probably expecting too much from the bunch of incompetents we have running the club.

Totally agree with the last sentence. Spot on.

Same here.
I don't think we have ever produced a more unpopular team.

My recollection of 1986-87 is that we had a similar number  of hammerings to this (though we still have 9 games to go so it could get worse) but we also won 7-8 league games and playing at Villa Park did not mean abject surrender back then. I think we could spiral even further in these remaining matches.

The last sentence is possibly the most insightful and pithy comment to have been written about our situation in six years.

I genuinely believe we may lose all remaining 9 matches

So sad, Dave, and so right.
Well said, as always.

Nine games seems a lifetime.

Excellent Dave, I agree with others, that last sentence sums it up perfectly.

[Virgil Caine]

Good article- what worries me is that this group of players cannot respond even to a new coach, Eric Black seems to have had a negative effect with results being worse since his arrival. There is, unless some evidence arises to the contrary, something or someone very, very damaging within the group.

More than one MPG. We know who they are but the real problem is that the others are too cowardly to stand up to them.

In 86/87 our home form was respectable I think it was won 7 drew 7 lost 7, I feel we are more than capable of losing the last 9 games.

A sombre sad article Dave, spot on as always.
