Apathy!

Apathy!

You are right, the injuries couldnt have come at a worse time and it doesnt help when your best player gets banned for 4 games.....

I think it will be nil pois over the christmas period ( 4 games )

Au contraire mon ami, I've had a lot of peas over Christmas.

Then the good news for you is that you can currently get 33/1 on us being relegated.

Despite my pessimism, I would never bet on North End to go down....

We lost today. Looking at this forum you would hardly know how bad the performance was and how worrying the month of January might be.

I wouldn't call it apathy.

I'd call it matching the owner's ambition.

I think you're being pretty optimistic. A bad run of results over Christmas and we could be right back in the relegation scrap. And the combination of injuries and lack of serious investment could easily keep us down there.

Oh for the joy of mid table mediocrity (this season).

You could well be right. I believe that there is enough ability in the squad (including returning suspendees and those with shorter term injuries) to see us safe. I'm not expecting anything above mid table though, and for the time being we should still be at least keeping one eye 'over our shoulder' and prioritising surpassing 50 points.

As I said earlier I'd like to see 2/3 experienced loans drafted in January to properly bolster the squad and just see us to safety.

Nmecha clearly doesnt want to be here - he has got the same attitude that Wellbeck had when he was here - he thinks that he is too good for the championship

Do you genuinely believe that? Could it not just be that he is not good enough? Because there have been occasions during his time with us where he has barely resembled a professional footballer, rather than one who isn't trying.

Spot on then... I didn't have any post orgasmic problems over Christmas.

Must have been those naturally-grown orgasmic peas you had with Christmas lunch :thumbsup:

If it's true that he thinks he's too good to play for us I wish to hell he'd go out on the pitch and bloody well prove it because so far he hasn't .That would be the positive way for him to respond.

Injuries combined with lack of investment is now catching up with us. Surprised it didn't do earlier but at least the good run we had has given us a bit of a cushion. The number of injuries is exasperating and each game seems to bring another one. The reasons for the injuries have been much debated. I find it hard to believe it is just down to bad luck. We need to get some experienced bodies in but that probably won't happen.Whether we can prevent a slide happening depends on recruitment, getting players fit again and not suffering any further casualties.Got to be concerns on all three fronts but hopefully things will change.
Don't agree with those who say Hull are a poor team though. That is unfair.They are one of the form teams of the division

To be honest the " Cushion " will / could be eroded by the end of the christmas matches........... we are currently 7 points clear of the relegation zone but by the end of the Rotherham game that could be 1 or 2 points
 
The fog will start to clear after the Donny game and apathy will turn into anticipation.
Its obvious we won’t be getting mega signings because TH wants to sell the club but we will get a couple of reinforcements and some returns will make a big difference.
We will be closer to the play offs than relegation by Easter.
 
I share your concern Ando but I reckon we only need about 48 points to be safe so another 20 from 22 games or let’s say if we average a point a game to the end of the season to take us to 50......surely not beyond us even given the current injury situation? Keep the faith!

Looking at your post, exactly how bad was the performance and how worrying might the month of January be?
