Were we over performing?
Or just playing teams we should be beating?

We were going through a purple patch and hugely over performing before the WC I kind of expected us to dip after the momentum was lost
Maybe the reason we st back is because the players were knackered due to not having none worthwhile on the bench to freshen things up with?How fucking frustrating!!!
Fucking Dabo switches off and gifts the guy a free fucking header. No blocking , no foul just runs off Dabo and he just lets him. Absolutely terrible defending from a professional. Up until that point Dabo had played well but yet again we conceded from a concentration error.
We hem them in their own half for 60 minutes of the match leading the Burnley co-coms to hail us as the best team to have played at Turf Moor this season to then mysteriously sit back and invite Burnley onto us. Wasting time and hanging on like a punch drunk boxer.
Don’t get me started on Wilson’s distribution woeful at best.
Really good formation but it was the sitting back and trying to defend which cost us (oh and the lack of squad depth-but that’s another issue)

He needs a strike partner up top with him at the moment opposing defenders smother him two on one.I’d snap someone’s hand off if we get a 10 million plus offer for Vik, need reinforcements asap

How many times has Gyokeres missed a 1 on1 this season. Cost us at least a point today.

Arguably worse than a dip?
One win from a 90th minute penalty.
Form since the WC is dreadful. Can't be far off relegation form when you include a loss in the FA Cup?
Really don’t get this Rose love in. Should be a leader at the back as the elder statesman but is as quiet as a church mouse. Middle of the road at best but unfortunately we have to persist with him as there is nobody else.What’s the point? No other Championship club even wants him apparently.

I’d also look at our formation think our defence could cope with a back four rather than a five especially if we bring a decent CB.
Fair point tbh. Fixtures were a little kinder. I guess I meant more our league position and proximity to play offs. On that, we have some much kinder games coming up and hopefully with some additions can get some more success

But now isn’t the time to sell, we would have to in bring two newbies in the next couple of weeks and hope they both hit the ground running.I just feel a 10m asset is a luxury to a club like us. Cash in before he breaks down. We already lost 5-6 million when Callum did just that
We're 15th based on the last 6 games and 8th based on the last 10.
Agree - next season will be particularly interesting. Wild prediction is play offs in the 24/25 Championship season, after next season's team has bedded in (one for Grendel to dig out and humiliate me with at the time!)Tbh we’re a mid table side without reinforcements and our form is following this. Not consistent enough.
Frustrating thing is knowing how close we are to a very good side.
Robins said the other day about building incrementally and I think we just have to be patient about our expectations.

Doesn't take into account the fact we have had a fairly nice run until today. The Reading loss, Swansea meltdown and two draws against Cardiff and Bristol City are very poor results. Miles off it against Sheffield United away and a loss today. West Brom result was great but we scored with a last minute penalty.

Also the quality of teams relegated from the Prem this year will be much better than last seasonIt's all great planning to build but this was a chance this year. Vik, Hamer, Sheaf and O'Hare as good as any in this league but we are let down but no investment in January.
It won't be a building process in the summer as we will be having to start from the bottom when you lose Vik, Doyle, Panzo and likely Hamer.
To be fair that would then include the Reading loss so we would be lower than 16th.Yeah, but 6 doesn't cover all the fixtures since so was just using that for comparison.
They don't do a 7 game form table and I'm not working it out!

That's just it though, how many 30+ goals-a-season strikers have we ever had? They are pretty rare, Clarrie aside.He'd be on 30+ goals by now if he could put away his chances.
We're 15th based on the last 6 games and 8th based on the last 10.
We are 15th based on the season so far
He also said something about SISU always meaning austerity and although we weren't rich, it was better in that "we can do things" now.Robins - little dig about losing Hyam at start of season...

most on here were expecting a thrashing so that wasn't such a disaster. We had chances and took the game to them but sadly, are lacking on the bench. The new lad played well but I thought Allen was running in treacle, so maybe Burrows earlier for him?Good 15 mins for us.
