why we are struggling

1hardcoresuperstar1 · 27th November 2011, 10:20 AM

Let's look at facts
We signed 10 players in the summer
Seb,gardener,Vaughn all got relegated last season
dong a young lad who has never been tested at anywhere near this level
Brown,Oshea to seasoned pros (has beens) who have played with best players in the world,p.s they have been replaced with younger lads smalling and Jones
Westwood a championship goal keeper
Elmo ffs out the players we had on loan last year we get the donkey
wickham a talented young lad but he's still learning his trade
Bendtnar a decent player on his day but as he has proved though his career he is not a great goalscorer his hearts the size of a pea
Add to the the shower of shite we had before that
A manager that is a clueless twit,with Sunday league tactics
A crowd that get on the players backs after a bad pass
A city that no top players want to be in
And u end up with this nightmare

Ten out of ten for stating the bleeding obvious.

This happens with every team at every ground, I don't see why the fans at SAFC have such a pivotal role in the success of the team.

We've had to endure match after match for nearly a year with our manager slowly but surely losing the plot.

At the last few matches I've endured, the crowd have been more apathetic than angry. There's been an acceptance that the team was going to be shit.

I didn't go yesterday, but it looked like the crowd has turned.

Reminded me of Ewood Pk, and the next home game will be crucial. Pinning my hopes on that game. 4 points from next 2 games is a must given the games that follow

What I find funny is that some people that hailed the signings in the summer - and thus presumably would have done the same, are now having a go at Bruce for them.

KW is an international goalkeeper.

Disagree - we do have the worst fans for this.

We are struggling because we have a manager who in previous seasons has managed to bring in at least one player with a sufficient ability to influence games that they were able to disguise his own lack of talent.

This year he failed to do so and so we are having to rely instead on his tactical ability. Which is why he's been found out.

Why we are struggling is because we have a manager unable to motivate his players, unable to make correct changes in a game at the right times, unable to discover his best team and formation, unable to play players in the correct positions, unable to sign a left back and unable to correct any of the above points...

Spot on.
