It's the culture of the club. There's a thread about it.

For years and years there has been no desire for sporting success at the top and this loser mentality creeps down and infects every aspect of the football club like a virus.

There is so much shit in this squad that any decent player will inevitably have their game dragged down.

I even remember Harry Kane's body language towards the end as he was seen mouthing the words "what's the fucking point" during a match.

It has to be demoralising for our better players.

Everything, and I mean EVERYTHING, leads back to the top.

Conte called it. Ange called it. Romero called it.

Until these absolutely disgusting scumbags are driven out of our club the disease will remain and every top player will look for the exit.

This is exactly the problem and why nothing will change until ENIC and Lewis's vulture children are out of the club. Every club in Europe does everything they possibly can do to win. Except us. West Ham realized they were in a relegation battle in January and spent accordingly. On the other hand, we sold an attacker and didn't replace him.

ENIC is more concerned about the balance sheet than sporting success, and that's been true since the day they bought the club.
 
Tudor needs to show he's got more balls than Frank if he wants us to avoid relegation. Start playing players in the right positions, come down hard on bullshit like Romero turning up late to training, use more of the youth players who might actually care about the shirt and most of all start trying to play our own game rather than continually sitting back and reacting to whatever the opposition do.

Sunday's match didn't fill me with hope that he's going to make the changes necessary but I'm giving him a pass because it was against the current league leaders and he's only just got his foot in the door.

Need to see something quite different for Fulham though.
 
The new stadium has become an albatross ...every opposing team play out of their skin , it's a big day out probably the first fixture teams look out for when the fixtures are released helped by the fact we have no world class players to match the stadium.

I hope more than think, but Tudor will drop people as others become available, or he'll play the kids.

I will say our form has stayed pretty constant though. lol.

The issue isn't just picking up wins - 2 wins and 2 draws are what you say, but they are worth fuck all if Forest pick up 2 wins and 2 draws, AND beat us. We have to out perform at least one of them.

West Ham’s form was pretty constant. Until it wasn’t. Ours can change too.

It's less likely when you're missing almost anyone who can kick a ball in the right direction.
This is the concern. WHU and Forest don't have any issues in this department.
I suspect all our injured players are too good to play for either of them. And we don't have access to any of them.

The stadium isn't a problem, it's the fact that they sold a new stadium with the promise of being more competitive on the pitch, but instead used the stadium as an excuse for not spending for a number of years, and after a time they quit even bothering with the excuses as to why they weren't spending.

Now they rake in more cash than ever but are giving a lower quality product every year.

The bill of goods we were sold about the stadium as a way to increase the wage bill and compete for the biggest prizes was nothing less than bare lies.

Unlike others I would not be surprised to see the scam artists sell up one day, the club was valued around £80 million when it was bought if memory serves, last I saw it may be worth £3 billion now. Not a terrible proposition for them if the increase of that value has slowed or stopped altogether.

100%.

If he rolls out Drag at CB and Spence at LWB with Sarr in the middle we know we are cooked.

In our remaining games we play the teams currently 13th, 14th, 15th and 17th at home.
And the teams 12th and 20th away.

18 points to play for there. 7 should keep us up. 2 wins and 1 draw.

Not really in the realms of feeding 5000 people with a couple of sardines and a loaf of hovis.
Or parting the Atlantic Ocean is it??
All in all would be a pretty crappy miracle if we do stay up.

Unless Jesus Christ himself wanders onto the pitch and scores a few bangers.
Be well up for seeing that miracle tbh.

Those teams are all considerably better than us, and we’ve also stopped trying. Think most of the players think they can leave on the cheap if we get relegated.
