I know I am stating the obvious here and I am not having a go at anyone at all peeps, but I do feel too many people are getting far too complacent on the relegation issue.
We are 8 points above the relegation zone with every club still having a possible 42 points available. However unlikely it may be, the Vile could still potentially finish on 55 points.
On this forum we are still saying exactly the same as we were in the last transfer window and most things relate to the window before that as well. We seem to be in the position that we can all see what needs to be done, but no-one is interested in doing anything about it, and to make it worse, we as fans are still making the same excuses for the club and having the same discussions as we were a year ago.
I am a simple soul and see thing simply (why complicate things?) To win games you have to score goals, you can't score goals without attacking and if we keep sticking to this policy of defending at all cost and do not start drastically improving our shots on target, I fear we will be in the relegation zone come the end of the season. Rondon I know comes in for a lot of stick but I see a lot of potential in him and do believe he has a fair few goals in him, but he can not score from the half way line or for that matter after he is trying to sprint back into position from defence. We need to work on creativity in our midfield so every time we are defending we are not just hoofing the ball up the pitch and hoping it goes to one of our players, which it invariably does not and it comes straight back.
I am not in any way saying lets not worry about defence, what I am saying is that if we have the ball and are attacking, our opposition can not score.
