Anyone care to disagree? Just can't see Cloughy turning this around. The players don't give a shit.

We need a player like their number 6, I hope mrs Doyle was watching him, covering a lot of the pitch, picking the ball up, winning tackles and passing the ball to his own players. Man of the match
What's your problem with those two? Coady was out of position but has shown he has talent and the same can be said for Lappin, both reasonable players in my eyes and that's the most we can hope for.We got a point against one of the best footballing teams in the division, I cant see us going down but what I would do is send Coady back and get an actual winger and send Lappin back. If Lappin is better than our left wingers then they all want getting rid of as well
I think that's a bit harsh. McGinn's delivery is usually excellent and as a young player the pressure got to him and he was clearly annoyed with himself.Two corners at the death chasing a win and we can't beat the first man, sums up the desire and heart that we're missing.
Altering the squad too much has got us here so doing it further won't help. Some need to leave (looks like Westlake and Williams areCrap again tonight. Hill did well, Porter was ok, Taylor did better than Miller when he came on - rest were useless. No quality and no desire. Will struggle to stay up. Need to bring in some quality in Jan and clear out in the summer.

It's true they've fallen below expectations as a whole but if their's any brighter points McGinn's one of them. Their pay makes no difference, he didn't intentionally mishit it so he could get in his posh car as opposed to wasting time celebrating.You talk about the players like they are 5 year olds playing their first ever game. They are well paid professionals and it's reasonable to expect them to be able to do the basics. Too many times this season the players have fallen well short of what is needed and expected at SUFC.
I wouldn't mind a similar system to Villa, with Porter, Miller, Taylor instead of Benteke, Weimann, Abonglahor. Murphy and Brandy could also fit into that, as could Baxter among others.Walsall played all the football, but we were solid without the ball and that's what Clough is trying to achieve in the short term. I don't blame him for doing this.
I'd like to see Taylor given longer on the wing as in the last couple of games he's beat his man and crossed the the ball. No one else at the club has done that this season.

It's ok saying we are trying to be solid and steady the ship but for the attacking is the first form of defending. Get the ball up in their half of the pitch and play football and you ain't to concede. Dilly dallying around in our own box gives the opposition a bit of confidence to push on and play round us as we have seen.
We have improved but we are still a very narrow, defensively minded team at the minute and in the long term that worries me slightly. Not to the extent that I think we are in trouble of relegation but if we are going to call this season off as a rebuilding season then that is what we need to look at doing ASAP. Let's not be hasty and sign for the sake of it but let's utilize this season to get things right before next season.
Really don't think we are in trouble of relegation?
I think we are in a real dog fight and it will go to the wire. We are a shocking side.
as could Baxter among others.

Our current form is on par with most of the teams in the middle of the table. This league isn't like the Championship thankfully! A good few teams are hit and miss and eventually I feel we will hit a bit of form, hopefully sooner rather than later. A couple of good wins still puts us mid tabled again.
Christmas is the telling bit but as things stand I have seen enough in us to stay up and I am not worried at the minute.
You may be right there but it's worth a shot. I'm sick of the constant worshipping of 4-4-2Really? I'm not sure what Baxter can realistically do in any system. Other than waddle about that is..
Tonight wasn't about lack of desire or fight, butyour posts are.That's the thing; I cant see more than the odd win in say 4 or 5 games and see us losing lot more games due to poor defence, no creavity and complete lack of goals. ore than that its the lack of fight and urgency all over the field. We wont get anything Saturday and then we could be 4 or 5 points off being out of the relegation zone and the pressure starts to ramp up. I see no fight or backbone in this side to suggest if we are in and around the bottom 4 we would fight our way out of trouble. If we are around here come Easter then I would be very worried.
