he doesn’t keep making 4, 5, 6, changes each game’ - this was Arsene Wenger just now on Pep’s Man City team this season.
Now, we’ve had a lot of injuries this season, but (and I may be wrong) even without these KM seems to have consistently changed his team this season. It’s not a moan or criticism, but it suggests that he isn’t completely sure of his best 11. It looks like he’s been searching for the winning formula. Or is it just the injuries. |

Other clubs may have had as many, but our right side has been seriously depleted most of the season. This combined with the fact that on paper and on the scales (literally) we probably have the lightest squad in the league, means that of all teams we just haven’t got enough capacity to cover injuries.

Thread | It’s still in our hands!
at 16:32 16 Feb 2025
When we said we’d take 17th at the start of the season I’m not sure many of us realised what we were saying then! Did we realise it would be such a slog and we’d actually struggle as much as we have?
I’ll confess I underestimated the gap between the Championship and the Prem - the speed of play, the sheer physical size and strength of so many of the players, etc has been a revelation.
So to think that at this stage of the season our survival is still in our hands is really quite an achievement. Will we do it? I’ve no idea! I hope more than expect that we will, but whatever happens we’ve done OK this season and have set ourselves well to have a right good crack at whatever league we’re in next season. |

I can’t honestly see us getting anything from this game. I’ll be happy if we manage to score and give a get back to giving a good account of ourselves. Would be great to see Hutch getting back to his A game
So sorry, but I’m going for a 3-1. |

We know that McKenna is a good manager. But his stock probably hasn’t risen much this season so maybe there’s less chance that he’ll be snaffled by another club in the summer! |

Thread | A better result than I feared
at 17:30 25 Jan 2025
The subs made a difference in the second half.
I know it was Liverpool and they can make any team look silly, and Citeh likewise, but overall it just looks like several of the players could do with a bit of a rest. They’ve put a huge amount into this season so far, but Hutch, Morsy, Leif and Liams lad seem to have lost a little bit of belief and confidence. Not sure we can really rest any of them, but the signings and return of Hirst haven’t come a moment too soon.
I hope I’m wrong and Soton sees all our lads back to how they were a few weeks ago, but we really need a decent performance and especially a win against them.

We've got our squad - we've paid a lot of money and we're not likely to make it much better. In truth we've got better players than most of us hoped back in July. I'm proud of the team so far this season. OK so we've come up a little short in too many matches but we've played good football and rarely disgraced ourselves. And by hook or by crook we've managed to stay in touch with 17th place until this window.
Now we've strengthened and got important players back fit and the squad looks a lot better, with quality to come off the bench that we haven't had so far this season. To stay up we need to continue to improve and not just rely on Foxes and Wolves to do worse than us!
can we do it? Who knows, but i think the bottom line for me is that we now have a squad that is as strong, if not stronger than i could have hoped for this season. If it's good enough then fantastic. If it's not then we will have certainly given it everything we've got and then some. We can have no regrets and few recriminations - everyone has done everything they can do.
OK, lets go for this 2nd half of the season and see where we get to. COYB

if we win tonight I’ll be pretty confident that we’ll stay up.
Anyone else feel like this? |
