Anyone else losing the faith

[DDB220]

I think posters who only appear to post negativity arouse annoyance. The negativity is often aided with unrealistic suggestions.
Everyone wants the club to have the best players, win every game 10 nil (I appreciate this is a flippant interpretation) but the reality is we are a club with new ownership and we need some additional players in key places. The suggestion we can just go out and sign a quality LB is fanciful. We all know we need a player in this position, it is one thing wanting and another thing to find the right player, at the right price who is available.
If anyone can name a realistic LB who we can sign in the winter window then please share it with the forum. Similarly name the Pabloesque 10 we should be signing.

My expectations of a reply are not high.

If we can get Charlie Taylor in on loan I would be very happy with that.

Can we lock this ridiculous thread and dish out a temporary ban to whoever started it?!

If that is a serious comment it seems harsh and extreme.

[GreennWhite]

I think this thread is just better left to gather dust and be forgotten about.

Farke is like a Biesla clone in his stubborness to change the starting 11 or tactics. Play Piroe at 9 Rutter is not a 9. Bring subs on after 60 mins latest or earlier if we need them not with 10-15mins to go. I said before that I would have rested James n Amapdu against Cov to be fresh for Ipswich but no joy from Farke. Credit we are third but with our squad which is better than most apart from Leicester in this league we should using them more. Ok one night in Stoke was bad when changed it but if he did it regularly 1 or 2 players then it wouldn't make much difference.
Has to play Piroe up front Rutter had at least 4 good chances on Saturday and only worked the keeper twice for 2 regulation saves that any keeper should save. Not good enough but he isn't a no.9 so why play him there? Give Piroe those 4 chances and he scores 1 possibly 2 at least.

Do you wanna back this shite up ^ ?

How the fck did we absolutely batter the high flying 2nd place team yesterday without a change in the 11 ?

How could it possibly be that a manager that's with his players assessing them and speaking to them 7 days a week knows more than you about HIS players huh ?

What is all this garbled nonsense of which you speak, yesterday has turned your post on it's fooking head.

So the manager has shut you the fck up with a 4-0 scoreline.

Don't you want to defend your thought process ?

[Kennyb41]

Oh btw, with Gnonto getting a fair run out yesterday, i think it was DF readying him to start v Nobend and rest DJ if that helps you at all big Rob

Must dash.

It ain't going to gather dust nor is it going to get forgotten about if people keep throwing their two pennyworth in. That's the actual reality. At least not until we get relegated / sack the manager / give the LUFC Owners & Management Board a vote of "No Confidence" / Hell freezes over.

Now that's the realty - the Genie is out of the bottle........

Yeah we need to revive Big and Small up front like Sunderland did back in the day... and get Peter Reid back as manager

That for me sums it up. I don't think anyone thought we would be doing as well as we are during the summer. It is only because Farke has got the team playing well that we are where we are - he is the single biggest factor. People only talk about the value of our squad now because Rutter is showing his worth and that is down to Farke restoring his confidence and bringing the best out of him - that is something, Marsch, SKubala, Gracia and Allardyce failed to do - seemingly most simply didn't even try. Similar with Dan James and most had written him off. Take Rutter's and James's price tags out of the team and we aren't an expensively asembled team, the only money spent being that which we recouped from the sale of Adams.

Without Farke's man management we could very easily be in mid table looking more towards the trapdoor than the heavens. It is only because of what Farke has done that we can even be thinking about automatic promotion.

As for the left back situation and it is far trickier than most assume. If we are to get a left back on loan then he has to be good enough and fit enough to start. Can we get better than Byram because if not then he will be on the bench if Byram is fit. We have seen with Jaydon Anthony that there are no guarantees for first team football. If we are to buy then really we need to sign one that is good enough to play in the prem. As such why would he come to us at this point? Given that Spence looked reasonably comfortable on the left against Ipswich it could be that we can't get better than what we have.

[Kennyb41]

What the goonsquad don't realise, is that when you know his best 11 can play like v Leicester, Ipswich and all the other decent wins - Then that really should be your yardstick

Then on 'off' days when 'things' whatever they maybe weren't particularly firing on all cylinders, that something was amiss - It could just be a case of 's**t happens'

Should Stoke have beat us ? Were we outplayed ? Did things not gel that day ? Did we have chances ? Were they lucky ?

What really happened v Rotherham ? Who were the better team ? Coventry ? Sunderland ?

Basically, we should be looking at how we CAN play.

And not the blips.

No time for snides here laddie.

I was thinking abart this this morning.

I'm thinking we can wing it, but 2 or 3 could make it certain. But who ? And what type of money can we spend ? What if we go up ? And what if we don't?

Do we buy a player for the Prem/ what if we don't get there?...It's a fine line.

A Charlie Taylor type would suit me down to the ground - For the Championship and as cover for now, so what do we do, speculate ? But that will cost us ?

I think we need to fill these 2 loan slots myself, somehow. And maybe buy this QPR type bloke

Well that's a post and a half that is.

And a post within a post !

[Sean_Nile]

What is faith and how can you loose it?

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

We hope for promotion.

We have not seen it yet, but the evidence and the xG of 2.27 is pointing in the right direction

Hey all Merry Christmas,

Not losing no faith.

2070 league minutes played thus far, outplayed for just 45 of them first half at Southampton.

Even in the other defeats and draws we were never outplayed, just had off days in front of goal. It happens, It'll happen again.

We are in a good place. Will be surprised if we have not reached the top 2 by some point in January.

Great to have Farke because he knows what it takes and that's an advantage he has over the other managers challenging for promotion and it's a big advantage too in a very long season.
