  • Out of us or Wigan for relegation. 
    Wigan were narrowly beaten by challengers for playoffs.  We're being thrashed by a team that are also relegation fodder.

    The one thing we hoped was that our relegation form was due to our injury crisis.  Now we know it isn't we are in trouble.
    Our form since jan 1st hasn't actually been that bad, if we are going to be a bit more balanced with our criticism and on paper stoke beat us nearly every time with there first team. 
  • Subs at last!! Bit late.

  • I will say it until I'm blue in the face.

    YOU HAVE TO SCORE GOALS TO WIN GAMES. YOU DONT WIN TOO MANY GAMES BY SCORING JUST 1 GOAL.
    YES BUT IF YOU KEEP A CLEAN SHEET YOU DEFINITELY GET ONE POINT AND IF YOU THEN SCORE JUST 1 GOAL YOU GET 3 POINTS. WE HAVE SCORED AS MANY GOALS AS THE TEAM IN 5TH PLACE AND THAT IS NOT THE REASON WE ARE WHERE WE ARE!

    Can't take Williams off - it might cost us the game....

    Relegation scrap due to injuries? I don’t think so. We’re not good enough. Let’s be honest.

    Too narrow again huge space in either full back position and Taylor loses it by being crowded out centrally with no winger or overlapping fullback to pass to.

    Stoke are a team in pretty good form tbh, they won’t be going down. 4 wins in their last 7 league games.

    73' It's another questionable one from the looks of the replays. Martins-Indi goes over with what looks like no contact. #scfc 3 #cafc 1
  • New signings have made a real difference

    Disappointing but confirms my fears that we are actually pretty shite. All this “when we’ve got everybody back we’ll be world beaters” bollocks. We were stealing games earlier in the season. Other than 45 mins against forest, the reverse fixtures against Stoke and Derby who were both in disarray at the time, we were bang average. Hopefully we are less shite than the bottom three but it’s going to be a rough ride.

    5 points from 5 matches.  Relegation form.

    We just need to score more and concede less.

    This is a relegation dogfight isn't it? Because it looks like a top 3 side against relegation strugglers.

    Since O'Neill took charge their home record is:

    P7 W4 D2 L1 PTS14 / 2 points per game

    They are strong at home and their league position is largely down to their poor start under Jones.

    76' Stoke sub | Powell replaced by Thompson. #scfc 3 #cafc 1
  • Barnsley are the reference point from here on out. 

    They played alright today, unlucky to get all three points tbh.

    So it's gonna be a close one.

    Been out, just read the whole thread. The midfield three of Davis, Cullen and Pratley didn’t fill me with confidence. Too similar in my opinion, no attacking threat. Thought the aim of bringing bodies in was partly to rotate and give players like Pratley a rest. Doesn’t sound like we have much about us today which is completely opposite to when we were down to the bare bones and using the kids. Expected much better today and last week. 
  • Cant blame the officials for us being shit today but it doesnt help when they are absolute toilet themselves
  • Out of us or Wigan for relegation.

    Stoke will finish mid-table i think, they've got a decent side to be fair. No idea what Nathan Jones was doing to have this lot in the bottom 3.
  • Probably Williams still not fit for 90 minutes and if he's not been having an impact today, better to be preserved for Tuesday night.

      Only when Cullen was alongside him.
