A couple of narrow results against bottom of the league Blackburn have masked the fact that we're very poor.
However, it's points not performances that really matter and we've climbed away from relegation zone for now and are into the next round of the cup.
It buys Monk some breathing space and meanwhile it's looking more and more likely that ownership is going to change further.
I would settle for ending season just avoiding relegation if it mean getting owners who had some integrity and willingness to invest and create an environment where people had a realistic chance of success and achieving their ambitions.

"I just don't see how anybody can be happy "
Who is expressing any happiness?
I don't see that on this thread.

That would be my team as well Batty. However I can see Berardi at left back unless Charlie improves.
He's playing ok but not brilliant. However not having a dedicated left winger in front of him can't help.
It would be interesting to see if Berardi could do any better.

People want to be happy, unfortunately somebody is doing a good job off destroying that!..

This fall out that everybody's had with Taylor, we've seen he doesn't seem to want to be here, but what is if we are taken over and he turns it on again?..
Will people want him in or out?..

Berardi should be starting ahead of Ayling. He gets caught inside too much. Berardi has a good knowledge of positioning and a defensive setup.
I would say that the defensive options we have atm are top 6 worthy from what I have seen. Need to tie down Pontus and Bartley, get in a new CB as fourth choice and strengthen what's in front of them. Don't think we are in half as bad a situation as you all are making out.
Let's look to a positive future and not a dark past.

Big improvements from last year are two commanding centre halves, a genuine number 10 and a winger with a bit of pace and strength, still plenty of room for improvement but that's down to the club to support the manager, MOT
