It’s a strange season and very hard to predict who will do what. Leicester and Leeds are dropping points against lesser sides, Blackburns awful run in doesn’t seem to be a real problem, everyone at the bottom is capeable of picking up points against anyone else… and then there’s Stoke.
We seem able to battle and fight one week then fail to show any sort of desire or passion the week after. I really have no idea how we will perform from one game to the next and I’m not sure the manager does either.
I still think we will survive. Although today wasn’t great we did not lose and that is a valuable point gained but I am concerned that every other team at the bottom, besides Rotherham, has the ability to fight every game. We have fought, WBA was a great example but then you look at the Swansea game and wonder what was going on ?
I can’t even blame the manager. Rose and McNally look half decent some games and others they appear to be strangers. Burger was destined for the prem a couple of months ago now he’s gone to pieces, Laurent looks ok then looks crap, often in the same game and you can say the same for the others. Only Junho looks to be consistent. What’s a manager to do when players are so unpredictable ?
I was a season ticket holder for the holocaust season, we were bad but we tried, players did their best but just weren’t good enough. I could accept that but this lot have proved they can perform, they can compete, we do have some tidy players but they just don’t do it anywhere regularly enough. If those players turn up against Plymouth we will beat them, no question. But will they turn up ? Who knows… and that for me is the thing thing that makes me angry about this season. It should never have come to this and that lies with the players who wear our shirt, not their shirt, it’s ours the fans, it’s our club.
I really can’t wait for this season to end. It promised so much and delivered nothing. We will stay up, but only because there were three teams marginally worse than us. I certainly won’t be celebrating that on our final game of the season. I’ll slink away into the tunnel with a sigh…. much like I did last season
