Crazy Diamond Posted 2 January, 2012 Share Posted 2 January, 2012 Every team has a blip. History shows that. This is ours. Not helped today by D'Urso, we've been saying ever since he was announced as the ref for this game that it'd go badly, guess what. It did. He's a joke.

Stepgar Posted 2 January, 2012 Share Posted 2 January, 2012 Be interesting to see what happens now. I m sure the clubs objective had changed from top 10. Especially after holding top spot for half a season. Can we appeal the red card? I think a few signings are required no doubt and I feel that we should do it now rather waiting.

Leicestersaint Posted 2 January, 2012 Share Posted 2 January, 2012 We have not been playing well since late November - basically since Chaplow was injured. Nigel Adkins has not shown himself really capable of responding to the fall away in form. Today we failed a big test. The next few weeks will be critical - can NA deliver the goods??

SaltashSaint Posted 2 January, 2012 Share Posted 2 January, 2012 We needed a 'proper' right winger at the start of the season, we have needed one throughout the season and we really need one now. We also require another striker - particularly now Lambert is facing a three-match ban. There is a serious chance that we will waste our great start to the season and that we may even fail to make the play-offs unless we add two, if not three, new faces in the next couple of weeks. It is one heck of a long season and we need some fresh impetus asap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simondo Posted 2 January, 2012 Share Posted 2 January, 2012 very worrying dip in form - could loosen the purse strings i guess, but new players are no guarantee of getting the bus going again shame about rickie... not having seen the incident i can't comment on the validity, but it doesn't sound like rickie.... hopefully get rescinded Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crab Lungs Posted 2 January, 2012 Share Posted 2 January, 2012 Ok, we're mid-wobble and we've some really, really difficult games coming up. We've got players out and we're running low on confidence. We could either blame everyone around us or suck it up and have a go again. We've got 21 games left - that's 63 points to play for. It's pretty obvious we're going to need strengthening and I think that's what NA and NC will set about doing within the next week or so. We're on the precipice and we could go either of two ways. We'll never get a better chance than what we've got now to get promoted. Let's hope we pull ourselves together soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pele Posted 2 January, 2012 Share Posted 2 January, 2012 Definite LOW point of the season......we need to get behind team now and the management of the club need to sort it out.

Saint_Jimbo83 Posted 2 January, 2012 Share Posted 2 January, 2012 We've been in poor form for the past 6 weeks, how we are stop is amazing. lambert now suspended, we need to see how serious Cortese is about providing funds for new players to add quality not just quantity. We have some hard games coming up, without Lambert we will struggle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dalek2003 Posted 2 January, 2012 Share Posted 2 January, 2012 Time to act decisively. We need to shore up key areas and get some good quality signings in urgently. The trouble is I am not sure we have the willpower to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxstone Posted 2 January, 2012 Share Posted 2 January, 2012 This could be the kick up the arse that evrybody needs - NC and NA will find that result as unacceptable as the fans do, and that might well signal a player strengthening PDQ... As for all the doom-mongers - Look at where we were 12 months ago, look at the table today and get some perspective Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
um pahars Posted 2 January, 2012 Share Posted 2 January, 2012 Wouldn't want to be using D'urso as an excuse to hide our own deficiencies. He may be poor, but I doubt he was biased, sounds a bit Brightonish to be moaning too much about the ref. Been poor for a while and need to do something PDQ if we are to arrest the slide.

Pip Posted 2 January, 2012 Share Posted 2 January, 2012 Lambert let us down today, totally avoidable red card! Still cant just blame him.

Professor Posted 2 January, 2012 Share Posted 2 January, 2012 Obviously we are all desparately disappointed and its time to get the cheque book out. The failures, to replace AOC with a winger who would be a first choice starter, and the failure to sign the second striker are coming home to roost but if Cortese does get the cheque book out now it can yet be rescued. What is a worry though is whether Adkins is adept enough at selection and tactical play. Maybe he needs someone to advise him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think his hands are tied by the lack of options. He turns around and has a bench with Forte on it, and a young kid in Reeves. We need some new additions before we can do anymore. It doesn't help that with the injuries and suspensions, players like Cork and Lallana are going through their bad patches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Special K Posted 2 January, 2012 Share Posted 2 January, 2012 We've had some good luck in the first half of the season. Things turning a little bit now and this will be a test for NA and NC, as well as the team. Hopefully a couple of decent signings will liven things up a bit and bring another dimension to the play as we are a bit "obvious" at the moment. Still very hopeful of a top 6 finish.

dronskisaint Posted 2 January, 2012 Share Posted 2 January, 2012 Mid wobble but the transfer window sounding like some homework has been done on it over the past few months.....and after a dire few weeks ... We are STILL top of the league! Half the season gone, still top, transfer window open, no reason to think we don't have money to spend...in NA and NC we trust. No reason to panic, remember where we have come from and get down on your knees and thank St Markus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hasper57saint Posted 2 January, 2012 Share Posted 2 January, 2012 According to SKY we had a goal disallowed in the first half. It was definitely over the line. Rickie gets no protection from the Officials and BHA have the worst disciplinary record in the League.Don't despair. We've been here before and climbed out of it and we'll do it again. We are still TOP OF THE LEAGUE! It'll be interesting to read what went on from those who were there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dalek2003 Posted 2 January, 2012 Share Posted 2 January, 2012 At least we've built up enouh points to finish mid-table I'll settle for that! Yes, that is right. Most people would have been happy with this at the start of the season. This was especially so when our fairly modest summer strengthening implied we were sticking to our plan of building the club up in a sustainable way. At the moment people are feeling very disappointed and raw, which is understandable. However, we need to rally around the club and encourage the players. If we do slide down the table we should be safe and comfortable and this would be an ideal time to experiment and bring in younger players. There are always positives if you think about them.
