I watched four games whilst in the UK recently and its rather strange trying to work out this team. For me there are obvioulsly several passengers, players simply not good enough, amongst them the obvious ones are Halford, Keogh, and probably Elokobi, I say probably because he looked ok against Hull and to a lesser extend Pompey but was totally outclassed in the cup game against Man U. I agree Mancienne is a liability, I watched him pass the ball cross field in his area again against Pompey, basic fundamental mistake. Jarvis is also up and down, in one game he looked very hesitant but against Hull he was threatening. I know West Brom kept saying it last year but I have to say we were unlucky not to win against Hull and possibly Pompey, we definately deserved a win against Hull....and had a dead set certainly penalty appeal go against us against Pompey...these are easy games though and we will need a lot more than a little luck against harder teams.

I feel sorry for Keogh, Mad Mick obviously sees something in his ability that the rest of us don't He is no worse than Elokobi, Jarvis, Karl the crab, Blake, or even Mancienne at the moment He has a scapegoat past that has now come back as we have endured this disastrous start. The fans have already realised we are at least 4 points behind where we should have been to have any hope of survival. Now, having played the three teams below us, ( and lost to 2 of them), we find ourselves playing catch up Mancienne should be dropped, his positional play is poor, he has cost us at least 6 goals in the last 4 games, and Berra has took a lot of flak for this. In reality, Elokobo is the main culprit .He is woeful, and Mancienne feels the need to cover him all the time, Berra then tries to cover the holes that Mancienne leaves, and, it doesn't take long to work us out Blake, oh dear, he look like a fish out of water at this level. I would play Vokes instead of him Henry is one of the main reasons we are so poor. He is not a leader, he is too defensive minded, always look to pass back rather than forward Jarvis... couldn't lace Robbie Dennison's boots.... Allegedly has put the most crosses in so far in the PL (85)... trouble is, 84 of them hit the opposing full back So yes, Keogh is poor, but a passenger on the same bus as the majority of them The benchmark point allocation for survival is touted at 38 points Mr Einstein has worked out that is 31 more than we have now We won't get any points at all against Manure , Arse, Pool, Chelski... I don't think we will get anything either at Everton, Villa, Fulham, West Ham , Stoke, or at home to Man City, Villa, ... so that leaves us , realistically, with around 16 games to glean 31 points from to secure survival If we had got those 4 points more from the first 8 games, I would say it was more than likely we would stay up As it is, we may as well start planning for life in the fizzy pop again next year What a waste of time getting promoted . Just to get all that spin from Moxey and Morgan to generate ST sales.
