Winter of Discontent
The positive 1st half of the season ended over the festive period and into the New Year with a run of disappointing results and performances.
The defence has started to ship goals at an alarming rate with stupid errors and own goals.
Shipping 5 at home to Burnley was bad enough and after shipping 4 goals in 45 minutes at Pompey (see previous post) I decided to strengthen my full backs as Higginbottom, Wilkinson & Dickinson are not good enough.
To make things worse, my strikers and Tuncay have stopped scoring. They get chances galore but fail to convert any one on ones. I will definitely be looking to buy a goal machine in the summer.
Only decent result away to Man City coming back from 2-0 to beat them 3-2 with a brace from Glenn Whelan and an 87th minute winner.
I have now slipped to 12th and without any chance of being relegated, making Europe or a Cup Run to report I will post next at the end of the season...
During my 2 away trips to Pompey I suggested that Peter Reid stay down in Portsmouth both times and try and convince their Manager to sell Kaboul and David James who were both immense against me!!!
