50 pts

[obeonesarover]

after the last couple of weeks i am looking for that 50 pts marker ASAP, confidence is rock bottom both with the players and may i dare say it with alot of fans,time for SOD to prove his management creds.

[normal rules]

at least sod wont be going to wolves in the near future after tonight

[Omanrover]

Totally agree, i`m seriously doubting whether O`Driscoll has got what it takes as a manager (defensively).I guess the next few weeks will tell, and i hope im proved wrong but moral cannot be good within the squad, and 8 goals shipped in 2 games is not good going into a very busy last part of the season. So! bring on the backlash, the proof is there, our defence is NOT GOOD ENOUGH for the championship at this moment!

Whats happened the last couple of weeks like?? We've had 2 defeats thats all, a week ago people were talking about promotion and after one league defeat your talking about relegation. Its unbelievable

We need a bit of realism here. When we win it's \"we're heading for the play offs\" and when we lose it's \"we'll be lucky to get 50 points.\"

We've got just under half of the season left.

To reach 50 points, we'll only have to amass less than half the number of points we did in the first half of the season. And now, we've got Killa in to tighten up the defence.

Yes, we've hit a bit of a difficult patch, but I wouldn't say all is doom and gloom. And as for SOD having to prove himself - what a load of rubbish. Our squad is being stretched to the limit at the minute, and although a 5-0 reverse is damaging confidence-wise, it could be a blessing in disguise as we can now solely concentrate on the league.

I've got every confidence that SOD will right the wrongs of the last 2 games!

the man is still a footballing genius
just having a few bad days at the office
it happens

roll on the away win at bellend road!

[obeonesarover]

its the manor of the defeats that worrying not the amount

[dickos1]

over the last 5 league games we are 5th in the form table.  :S

Its about time the rose tinted glasses came off for a few on here.Its ok saying \" we`ve got killa now so we`ll be tighter in defence\", what about the rest? If you compare our back 4 to any other ( scunny excluded), the only championship class defender we have is Jimmy O`Connor and thats a fact.Stock out injured for however long it is is a massive loss in my humble opinion and now with Woodsey on top of that we are indeed down to bare bones.All this added together does not bode well for the remainder of the season. I hope im wrong, i really do !!!

[vaya]

...and we lost against a team we've not beaten since the Reformation, and a Premiership side away (who incidentally less than two weeks ago we drew with at home)

Not ideal, but no reason to go off the deep end.

[normal rules]

survival no problem

interesting to hear the commentary tonight saying the game was played at a carling cup tempo.
heavy pitch?
or just not interested?
magic of fa cup lost?

We've got the same defenders we've had all season (plus Killa) and we've got to where we are. Why the panic?

It's not the 2 defeats or the amount of goals, it's the manner of them both that's worrying..........survival in the npower is now the priority and a change of keeper. Iam seriously worried and have been since we shipped that lead at the Blunts.

[dickos1]

i dont see the problem!! Oconnor, chambers, killa and mills is as good a back four as we have ever had in nthe championship

[vaya]

We you worried when we kept a clean sheet against Scunny, who had one of the best away records oin the Championship?

[Omanrover]

One thing is for sure, the team are getting it large from SOD tonight for making him look a muppet in front of his family who are all West Brom fans ! Happy days lol....let the tea cups fly !

[idler]

Wolves scored three against Man City on Saturday, we were always going to be up against it tonight. Sounds like we might have had a penalty when one down, that or Billy scoring early might just have changed the game.
We need to bounce back on Saturday, at least tonight's result didn't lose us ground in the table and knack the goal difference up.

[Omanrover]

Mills has re signed then has he???????????

[dickos1]

He hasnt then hasnt he????????

[BobG]

Odd that all SOD's family support West Brom when they're all Wolverhampton born and bred......

Cheers

Donny will be fine for safety this season. There's a lot poorer and worse teams in the Championship who have more serious problems than a crap defence.

If you withdrew Billy Sharp, James Hayter and a few more decent attacking players from the team, then you would have serious reason to worry because where would the goals come from?

Do you not support us any more, Rigo?

Not having a dig, just wondering. You seem to refer to Rovers as \"they\" and \"you\" a lot these days.

[vaya]

Not just me then.

Could just be a turn of phrase admittedly.

[Omanrover]

According to the commentary on deedah tonight his family and friends support West Brom ! but then after all it was DEEDAH ! By the way, Russ Wilcox is just such a damn boring guest summariser

Written out like a sports journo trainee and not a true supporter, that's sad Rigo after all these years.
Take it you are now Mr. Impartial, will you becvoming to anymore games ?

In a broad comparison to our corresponding results last season, I make it we are six points better off than at the same stage 12 months ago so there's no reason to panic, though there are definite issue with injuries, Sulli, et al. Incidentally, we only picked up one point out of six against Ipswich away and Barnsley at home - our next two games. Cue the doom and gloom merchants!
