Squeaky Bum Time?

Who would have believed last night's results which dumped us in at 4th from bottom,need at least 2 good players to come in this window,and Lyle Taylor is a must to sign0

Newly promoted to the Championship against all odds under Bowyer and a great management team behind him. Started off this season well and truly punching, with Bowyer saying that it probably wouldn't last and his expectations were just to maintain Championship status, which is still a probability.

The fact the gap to bottom three is only four points and the fact we're playing a team below us on Saturday it's completely natural to feel some squeaky bum time, I know I sure am.
1 win in 3 months isn't exactly fuel for confidence.

Better pray that Thursdays presser doesn't include the phrase "injury set-back" or we'll all lose our sphincters

Reading the Barnsley forum they seem to think they've lost already.

On CL, 99.9% of Members have backed Lee Bowyer and Coaches which is fantastic as Eddie Howe hasn't had that type of backing from their smaller fan base during their injury crisis ( wasn't as bad as ours)
So that's a positive.
Golfie and oohaah, despite their OTT personas on CL have made some good points on our current plight. Another positive.
Being concerned, isn't being negative, Brown59 may have a different agenda when he said "we are doomed"
On February 1st we can all get back to giving 100 % support to Lee Bowyer and the team. Another Positive.
Voicing real concerns on a bona fides social media platform (CL) as opposed to the feedback of other inferior Cafc childish platforms, is a real positive.

Not true. Leeds have signed 3.palarsehater said:Snatched off twitter
Reminder that only THREE clubs in the Sky Bet Championship have signed more than one player so far this window.Huddersfield, Fulham and Swansea.Yet people will be blaming ESI. The January window is difficult for the entire division.0 -
Fulham have only made two signings - Bobby Reid was already at the club0

Nobody is criticising the players or manager when they say we're in a relegation dogfight. It's fair enough to have a realistic view based on our luck with injuries and the teams we have had to field.
If we don't get senior players back or make some decent signings then staying up seems unlikely - we just have to hope our luck changes.
Based on the results of the last 18 games, regardless of the reasons, it's fair enough to be worried.

But have they lost 3? We, as of 9.45am on the 29th, are 2 players down on what we had on the 1st. Maybe that isn't technically true as we recalled some kids to make up the numbers in the 3rd round, but if they have to play in a league game we are in really in the doodo.ForeverAddickted said:Fulham have only made two signings - Bobby Reid was already at the club0 -

Obviously wrong then. I think the manager and players have done really well to be competitive in recent games given the inexperience of players and lack of continuity in the team - we've been incredibly unlucky with injuries. If we'd been fielding a full strength side and got these results then all criticism would be warranted.i_b_b_o_r_g said:

Am I wrong here, but isn't Taylor under contract until the end of the season? In which case he's going nowhere unless the club want to cash in on him- which, unless we sign Salah, would be crazy. If he scores 8 or 9 goals between now and April that will suite us fine. After that, it's up to him.doronron said:Who would have believed last night's results which dumped us in at 4th from bottom,need at least 2 good players to come in this window,and Lyle Taylor is a must to sign0 -

We know the mitigating circumstances why we have won 1 in 18, and that's why it's right that Lee Bowyer has received 99.9% backing. There was never going to be a Honeymoon for Matt Southall and ESI when you take over (officially) on January 2nd and the window is open. The Last 60 hours everything may fall into place and the words from Matt that we wanted to take over early in the January window to help Lee, may come to fruition.JaysusTheJay said:shine166 said:

Yes, and having made many inaccessible albums since their excellent first three, they're right back on form. It's on Spotify, and I bought a vinyl copy from Rough Trade yesterday. Living the dream.hoof_it_up_to_benty said:

Roland has left us in the lurch , (when hasn't he) having an injury prone squad and half of our team made up of loan players and then youth team players that are not all quite ready for first team football , is NOT ESI's fault, failure for fixing the problem is , i'm hoping its all a storm in a tea cup, and we'll look back and smile about all this.
Pretty much since Lees been here he's been fighting fires, and i do feel sorry for him , when i sat in the West Stand recently i could see Lee losing his rag with the officials over some decision, and said to my wife , can you imagine what his blood pressure is at the moment!
Getting Lee signed up was the best signing the club could have made this transfer window, but we do need wuality signings, to give everyone a lift , not Joe Dodo's or Roger Johnson's last minute panic buys.2 -
As mentioned on here already, we are still working with a Roland squad and thats haunted us with the injury crisis.
The table doesnt look good this morning, but Im not overly worried. The performance against Fulham was excellent, and it showed me that with a fully fit squad we dont have anything to worry about.
Keep that level of performance up, and looking at the next 5 fixtures we could win 3 or 4 of them.1 -

Taylor signs a new contract, a couple of quality loans come in, all these defeats by the odd goal and draws turn into wins, everyone we play underestimates us like at the start of the season, we go on a run and finish a couple of points outside the playoffs wondering "what if"...
Everyone relax....
