Billy Clarke confirmed

Ducking auto collect.

 

And it looks like we might settle into either a 4-2-3-1 formation or 4-3-2-1 which would mean Clarke, Payne and Ball pitching in with goals from behind Doyle

 

Sorry I was hoping for a lack of goals and ability!

 

I thought it had been confirmed that James Hanson wasn't a target?

 

It feels like he has legend status now. If not for conventional reasons

 

We're also third bottom without a target man.

 

We did have a target man available up until the transfer window though

 

But that's entirely due to our results in the first three months of the season, when we were a total shambles, regardless of whether or not we had a target man on the pitch.
Our form since November, without a target man, is upper mid table/playoff form.

 

That only means something to a fair few of us who can remember that horrible day darn South

 

Pre and post Edin are two completely different situations.

 

Ironically, Wyke would have been the ideal man.

 

We're now second bottom without a 'target man'

 

I know our tactics suggest we need one, but our recruitment suggests otherwise!! I have no idea what our plan is anymore.

 

That makes you plus the 11 that was on the pitch on Saturday
Many Many more i would imagine

 

What, if you split the form we showed up to the point Edin left and the form we've shown since Edin left, we're second bottom? We would be midtable. We were top of the form table around Christmas once King Edin had fecked off.

 

if you key in from matchday 20 to current it shows City have the 10th best form in the division....

....thats 19 points from 13 games since Edin left... 1.46 PPG (and that is without a target man as Bruenker doesn't count he was so bad).

We've 14 games left. Extrapolating it projects we may get another 20 pts, putting us on 52 pts.

Whether that is good enough to secure survival who knows. It won't work out so black and white and games we expect to win we'll inevitably lose, and vice versa.

But a lack of a target man won't be the reason why we go down if we do drop....it is the destruction Edin caused during his reign in the opening months of the season. Him signing players on ridiculous contracts before we had a manager appointed. Him insisting on appointing a coach, so he could interfere, rather than a conventional manager, him delaying appointing a coach, the lack of a proper pre-season due to poor planning, starting the season with an unfit squad etc.

 

Excellent post, good to remind fans why we are in the mire. I am nervous, but I honestly think we will scrape in.

 

Take out the rosey December month and we have been bad though. When you talk about form post Christmas it's not been great and recent form regardless of post or pre Rahic isn't all that. Saturday wasn't great in so many ways but mainly due to the downward trajectory. Anyway onwards and upwards

 

In my opinion, It wasn't great, mainly due to the upward trajectory.

 

I see what you've done there!!
