[Archived] The Next Five Games

Surely Kenny was there purely for pleasure!

It seems strange , him being there at all....

Indeed it does.

[Amo]

Kenny's not leading a consortium, fellas. He was probably at a loose end that Saturday.

[JBiz]

Seeing Kenny Dalglish there on Saturday, I wondered if they had offered him money from the Duffy sale to become Director of football!

Expect a stunt before the televised Wolves game!

Does Daglish have a Twitter? It would be good to see his opinion on how we played!

[J*B]

Daglish was there to watch the LFC player on loan at Fulham.

Wheelock should have asked him his thoughts about the state of the club.

Bearing in mind he was the only football person of any credibility at the match his thoughts would have been worth the effort.

Abbey...the first line of home sweet home came in my mind reading this.

If only eh.

[philipl]

Have to expect 0 points.

[frosty]

We'll win one at some point so can see us beating Rotherham something like 3-2, making right hard work of it of course. One of those games that even though you win it doesn't really offer any encouragement that anything has improved.

Might scrape a point from the other games so that'd leave us with 5 points from 10....

or pain

[Husky]

Leeds and Rotherham are both @#/?. So that's 4 points right there.

Anything else will be a bonus.

Because we are so awesome......?

We are at a huge disadvantage to every other team in the league because Coyle couldn't manage breakfast at Kellogg's

[Rover_Shaun]

I agree with you, 3pts max, nothing more to say really, you don't win many games with league 1 players, loans, free transfers and academy kids, simple as that.

Forward planning Gav. We'll be kicking along merrily in mid-table in league 1 this time next year because they have had the foresight to plan ahead

As for points can we not just start with something easier? Like, where's our next goal going to come from in the next 5 games?

[philipl]

I guess we would have beaten Cardiff but for Duffy. Even so, I am sticking with a forecast of 0 points from 15.

[rovgers]

I think we'll be lucky to get more than 3 points. In fact the Rotherham game is the only one where I can see point(s) coming from.

[Hullrover]

Get these guys in, can't be any worse.

Our midfield have been playing that since the start of the season.

[blue kiwi]

well that was a point i was not expecting,so there maybe hope

[Blue blood]

What is encouraging is that despite being utterly rubbish and not winning any league games of yet we're still not adrift. Shows how weak some other teams are.

However with Leeds and Rotherham next, lose those and we will be cut off as they're teams in and around the relegation zone with us. Win these and given how slowly some other teams are picking up points and we improve our chances of survival quite a bit.

Like I say I'm surprised at how little our woeful start has cost us.

[JBiz]

The league really doesn't mean anything till the end of Jan/Feb - I know form comes into it but we've plenty of time to turn it around.

Going off the Venkys previous decisions, it's almost impossible to call the outcome of more woe- but last season they potted bowyer in November after a bad start. Can see Coyle going in Octobee if something doesn't change!

Equally, like many - the suspect way in which he ended up with the job could make him the boss for a while...

Wonder if he has league two bonuses in his contract?

[Blue blood]

Hmm, not sure I agree.

For starters it is indicative of how the team is doing, secondly it's a fair number of lost points, which even a solitary win in that could make a big difference.

Also we've not played many good teams. Norwich certainly, but for the rest. Perhaps you can make a case for Fulham, but Wigan, Burton and Cardiff are all poor teams imo and will be bottom half teams. Not taking points off them could cost us. Appreciate that's a little different to the league table itself though.

Nor am I saying that it isn't more of a guideline in January!

[philipl]

By all accounts yesterday's performance offers a glimmer of hope.

We are going to believe we can escape the drop and then be cruelly disappointed...

[Stuart]

I don't believe we can escape the drop. That's why results like this are a side show.

We need change. Run of the mill W1 D1 L1 results will just allow the show to rumble on.

Leeds once sacked Brian Clough (who had won the league previously) for only getting 3 points from 6 games (one win). We have 2 (draws). Different strokes of course but until something changes we are doomed to repeat 2011/12 all over again.
