On the beach or sussed out?

[Arfa Sleep]

A few of them will have one eye on the World Cup, but if we have 11 men on the field we probably get the 3 points. Regis’ second half of season form is a worry though, but then again we’re safe so he’s done his job.

It is slightly concerning that two years running we've had quite contrasting first and second halves of the season, even just looking at how we had the third best defence to third worst.

It'll be interesting to see what we do in the summer and how we try to score more, third lowest in the league I think.

What do we think?

Very strange thread. We got trounced last week and played over an hour with ten men. Playing one man down is not easy and we got a battling point. So, clearly not on the beach. As for sussed out, difficult to say today but I would have guessed we would have won at a canter with 11 men.

Need at least 4 signings that come straight into team next season.

Sod that, I'd take relegation to see us play in Europe.

Has a Premier League team been relegated the same season they've played in Europe?

Probably could have looked myself in the time it took to type this

The beach. They’ve been shocking. You can clearly see the urgency isn’t there. Second balls we lose most. Set pieces terrible .. and the worst thing is our passing. It’s dreadful. Must be shite at those passing drills in training

We've seemed very vulnerable from crosses for weeks

On the beach is nonsense. Just first season in a very hard league. Daft sending off doesn’t happen and we win easily today. Lads trying their best.

I guess that happens when your main CB is sent off.

 

[Roker Magic]

This is why I don't want Europe qualification this season - we are nowhere near ready, squad wise, to handle it.

We won't be getting it. Nowt to worry about.

for weeks I said, today just happened to be another. Hume seems particularly vulnerable recently from them

 

[turbo bratwurst]

Gonna be a weaker league next season with the three that come up,. perfect chance with some good investment in the summer to establish ourselves. Been an excellent season

 

[Skylon]

What do we think?

Neither

 

[bowers2]

We will find out next week.
Personally I think we will get hammered.

Nonsense imo. You don't get to pick and choose when you qualify for things or win trophies, you take the opportunity when it comes. If we qualified for Europe this season they'd chuck money at it so that we had the squad, and they'd sack off a lot of the lads not up to it. The teams coming up this year look crap, it's pretty likely that they'll all go back down without a whimper.

So, we probably had enough points to be safe with about seven games to play and its likely that next year the Premier League will be weaker than this year but we'll be in trouble unless we get four new first teamers?

Keep ya head in the sand numpty

The reason we have done so well this year is that the players are nowhere near as defeatist or negative as some of our fans.

Just to clarify that I’m not basing things on today’s game with 10 men as the only metric, rather a lot of what we’ve seen over the last dozen games or so with the fantastic exception of the win at the landfill. We don’t seem to have the same intensity or desire, defensively we’ve become very porous, passing seems like a lost art and a fair few players look a shadow of what they were in the first half of the season. The question is will that first half of the season form return in August or do we need a rethink to avoid second season syndrome.
