I don't know if a red Christmas tree is that important. or if playing kids is? I also know that the manager is getting a load of **** for certin things. but sometimes football is weird. Leicester City nearly got relegated the season before last if you all remember and now we all know how well they did last season. and how good in the Champions League. So to some extent things like: luck, a game plan, ref decisions, fixture pile ups etc come into play. Remember guys after 5 games we had won 4 and drawn one. We looked a cohesive unit. Not the most entertaining. But we were getting results. The wheels seem to have fallen off. but they could as easily get back on with a couple of signings or a better system of playing. let's hope Father Christmas does bring us some joy and festive spirit eh?

My god Degsy, I think that's the best post I've ever read by you.
Very good question, are we just going through a bad patch? Imho it is very possible and things may pick up again. Even without signings.
{Ed025's Note - we will get better NBTB but confidence is very low at the moment and it shows all over the pitch and certainly with the supporters, we also need that little bit of luck which we are not getting at at all mate..

True Ed025. Fingers crossed.

Degsy's account must have been hacked 😂.

To be fair Degsys posts have been pretty solid for a while now.
It is a confidence thing and usually something we can only play our way out of. The Leicester reference is pretty good proof of that.
But it's goals that win you games and for the last 6 or 7 games we've just not scored enough. I think January will be very important in regards to providing a boost for confidence, thus we will need one or two quality signings if we haven't improved by then.

No need to worry about the kids Koeman has said they are not ready. What I want to see from our players is some passion and effort. What we are getting is this uncoordinated ambling around the pitch especially in the first half of games. No passion, no drive, no pride, just noting actually. Chelsea was the game that hit home for me, the gulf was tremendous and who showed the most passion and determination when he came on? Yes young Davies who is not good enough yet to get a place in the team evidently. Can someone tell me what Holgate did wrong when he played at the beginning of the season? Not saying playing these two would make much of a difference to the end result but it may put the more experienced players to shame.
