4eva,
Indeed mate, when you see clubs like villa, Newcastle, Sunderland and even Chelsea struggling it puts things into perspective doesn't it !
It's tight and a battle at the bottom and I think we will end up finishing about where we are now which on paper is very respectable but you have hit the nail on the head when you say we have no pace in the team. We look so bad when we get possession in our own half, unless Sess beats his man we just have no outlet and it normally goes back to the keeper after a couple of side ways passes or gets hoofed up in the general direction of Rondon.
We will never be able to fund a proper squad but a LW with pace that can cross a ball we are crying out for.
G-Mac continues to be solid but he can't go on forever, Olsson should have gone 2 years ago and Dawson (granted playing out of position) does a fairly decent job but looks uncomfortable against pace and his distribution is appalling.
On the plus side the back bone of the team is good. Foster, Evans, McCauley,Fletcher all pick themselves and Yacob, Morrison and even Sess of late are certainly a good base. Haven't quite given up on Rondon but needs a partner. Can't stand the bloke but Berahino needs to be playing now, then get rid in the summer.
As somebody else said, one thing you can't fault is effort and heart and the squad has loads of it, so tactics again seem to be the stifling problem.
