Ramshankered Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 Our unbeaten run was never going to last forever - and days like today happen to pretty much all championship teams at least once a season. Absolutely no need for hysterics - a couple of choice signings will galvanise us. The Mac has already mentioned in interviews that we lack a goal scoring threat, so I expect to see the squad tweaked in the coming days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PistoldPete2 Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 2 minutes ago, Mr Tibbs said: Let's not pretend today's performance is totally out of the blue, we've been unconvincing for weeks. Wigan probably should have put 3 past us Saturday, Norwich could have had 10 today. Chris Martins fault? Definitely not. Some recruitments and returning players from injury should push things in a positive direction. Hopefully by the Leeds game we're ready to have a good crack at things again. Same as Saturday, move on, quickly! Yes this has been coming ... A better team. Than Wigan would have beaten us on Saturday and today they did. In 2013/14 our best season in many years we needed Hughes Thorne and Martin who were our key players ... All were missing today and we either need them back or get replacements .

We'll probably end up bringing in another goal hanger such as Rhodes, another controlling midfielder and another left-footed wide player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anag Ram Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 I got slagged off for saying we needed a couple of midfield players but now it's a necessity if we are going to field a competent team in the next few weeks. And the need for a left back just got urgent. No panic yet as far as play-off hopes are concerned but we need good purchases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfie20 Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 Looks like a LB in on loan has to be one of the priorities. Assuming Martin returns soon (and that's not a given by any means) then one, possibly two more additions. This squad needs help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comrade 86 Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 Well, us 'happy clappers' have had our fun. Time for the truly insightful and knowledgeable posters to take over again with matchday threads running to 70 pages as to why McClaren is clueless, how we've been lucky to win anything, how our midfield are *****, Ince is mardy and Martin is a bad influence (without even being here). I'm off to buy a copy of FM17 so I too can understand this football lark and will soon be advising Stevie Mac on where he's going wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cam the Ram Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 12 minutes ago, Millenniumram said: I'm sure he can see the problems before hand, but the point is I suspect, quite rightly, that he'd be hesitant to upset the apple cart straight away by bringing in new players to sort out the issues present with the previous unbeaten run and good form. However this loss I believe will force his hand more quickly as it shows that the cracks can be exposed, and when they are the results are somewhat... unpleasant. It may yet be a blessing in disguise, the players we've been linked with- the return of Martin, Lansbury etc are the sort of players that would sort out the frailties in our team, and I trust Mac to sort out the issues present today quickly and make us stronger all over the pitch. As alluded to earlier, mcclaren knows the job at hand and how difficult it may be, and I'm sure he's been planning for a while as to exactly what needs to be done this window Does the bid for Lansbury on the day the window opened (before we lost this game) not show you that McClaren was already looking to improve and that he didn't need a bad result to force his hand? If I remember correctly, he said weeks ago when asked that we'd be looking to improve in January if the players are available at the right price.

kash_a_ram_a_ding_dong Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 I think we all forget that teams like Newcastle and Brighton lose as well...It's how we react that matters....Losing occasionally is inevitable and necessary to see where you stand.

LazloW Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 A wise man (me) once said that the only problem with rocketing up the league and getting to within sniffing distance of the playoffs is that expectations will increase to an unreasonable and silly point, where anything but a win is met with the type of over the top reaction one would normally associate with a mardy spoiled little brat. Irrespective of the fact that losing games of football is about as inevitable as it gets, people are forgetting the absolute mess that SMc took over. Its nothing short of a miracle we aren't still looking over our shoulders at a relegation battle and getting anywhere near the playoffs this season (taking context into account) has to be considered a bit of a bonus. Losing to Norwich away surely cannot be considered the absolute end of the world and the deathknell for several players who 'we knew were rubbish all along'? By the way, to those who think they are the reincarnation of Bill Shankly, it doesnt take a genuius to work out the squad needs strengthening in certain areas and jumping up and down teling everybody how clever you are for spotting it before the manager or any other fan with eyes, doesn't make you look clever... Of course we could've been playing better over the 10 game unbeaten run (remember that everyone? Great days, I remember it like it was yesterday... oh) but the glee with which people want to shout it from the rooftops now we've lost a game (against a team with players I'ved heard of, so they aren't bad) does me head in. The irony of me having a petulant rant about petulant rants is not lost on me.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It shouldn't have offended anyone, just frustrated or annoyed at worst but good on you anyway. Can I suggest you consider either tranquillisers or sleeping tablets before the next away match - you do seem to get really wound-up as soon as something goes wrong. For longstanding fans these things are the norm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
