" We Are Currently The Worst Team In The League "

for dropping points from a winning position. With 12 games remaining we had lost 23 points from winning position which places us firmly as the worst club in the Championship. This places us in the company of clubs like Watford (last season under Malkay Mackay), Coventry, Charlton, Crewe, Rotherham, Colchester and Luton who have all held this position.

It is also a fact that no club who finishes the season with the record of dropping most points from a winning position has ever won promotion. In fact in 60% of the cases the clubs were relegated.

With 12 games remaining 7 of which are at home we will still make the playoffs IF we win all 7 of our home games, but given our failure to consistently hold on to a winning lead that is looking less likely. Of our away games two are clearly winnable for any team who aspire to the playoffs, The Wurzels on Saturday and Barnsley but who has confidence we will.

Last night our plan looked to park the bus and wait our moments and thanks to Mason and Whitts we scored with 2 of only 3 attempts on target. Kenny Miller had a last gasp chance to win it but ground staff collected the ball from the car park after the game, which sort of puts things into perspective as our No1 forward can't hit a barn door at the moment.

I'll probably get a hammering for posting this but the stats quoted here are accurate we are simply PANTS at defending a lead and that with 12 games to go is a big concern to me.

I don't doubt the stats, which makes its even more puzzling why Miller was still up front last night. I'm sure MM knows what he wants, but i don't think hes going to get it by the end of our twelve remaining games!

good post

Yes Gary good post as usual.

good post but the main factor here is what you mention in your post (parking the bus) we CAMP on are 18 yard line soon as we score it happens in every game , then smash the ball up field to play hoofball only for it to come back with them in posession while we sit back and hope the other team do not score after waves on end of attacks comming at us. They always score at some point as your post states so why are they not told to move up the pitch. I would get it if its the odd game but its f*cking EVERY GAME the same thing over and over

For some reason I have agreed with 2 of your posts today!!

Looks like we are a team being built rather than the complete article then. Pitty our fan base is too moany to be patient with that.

How is it moaning as you call it ,The thread starter is only pointing out whats going on with facts ,if he can see it and many other fans can then how comes MM dont see it

Is that you merlin or is that someone else on merlins account

Very informative post

I know Earnie is not the player he was but for goodness sake let him have a chance - could he be any worse than Miller at present!!

Our defence needs to be tackling sooner, game after game they shadow the attacker until they are well into our half if not our penalty area, where if you get the timing wrong it's a penalty rather than a free kick much further out.

I just despair sometimes, would be nice to watch a game where we were winning and i felt that we would come away with the points but as the stats show it doesn't happen!!

The only way is upwards then

miller and malky bond is unbreakable,

when a manager has that much faith in a player or admiration, they cant get through to their heads the players are past their bst or need a rest

Good info as always Gary - i listen to the game on the radio last night and this point was brought up.

The worry for me is that this happened last season when MM was at Watford,and we do not have another striker to call on to try and change the game ( if we are not going to use Earnie )

Good post. I remember when Mackay was appointed manager, a Watford fan coming on here and saying the same thing. He liked Malky but whenever they went in front it would be backs to the wall. The statistics bear it out. Jones was slated for not being able to come back from being a goal down. This guy's teams cant hold on to a lead. I think the honeymoon may be coming to an end if things don't change. The thing is when we attack we score goals. After each equaliser at Brighton we pushed forward scoring once to go back in the lead and almost getting the winner with the last kick of the match. the Earnie issue is also a big one. Once again Jones got slated for playing his favourites and not playing others who should have had a game. Mackay is doing the same thing and yet he is getting a pass so far.

Maybe the club is not ready to go forward this year, we are building for next season.We need at least 2 more stikers who can score 1 full back 2 wingers with pace, then we will have a squad to take us up.

When we were in third place i thought this was the time to add players but it wasnt to be for some reason.We now have some young players for the future, just need to add some quality in the next transfer window and next season we finaly make it to the top.
