> Hope we manage to stay in the top half but do we deserve it?
Compared to last season, mid table obscurity (10th since October?) has a lot
going for it, but even with all the injuries this season still feels like a
disappointment, probably because of the way the wheels came off in the last
three months and the season ended with a whimper..
> Are the injuries linked to training in some cases?
Who knows? The coaching staff obviously don't because they belatedly
brought in a team of sports scientists to look at the problem well after the
damage had been done with just a few weeks of the season left. Maybe their
findings will enable changes to be made in time for next season. It probably
doesn't help buying notoriously injury prone players like Bellamy (who?) and
Parker in the first place but that's another story.
> Do we use the right tactics?
No. Some of that might have been forced on Curbishley because of injuries
dictating the choice of players, but let's face it, we have not played
attractive football this season even when we've been winning games.
> Do we need to sign some really good players?
Yes, but I fear they will rely on the crocks coming back and making an
impact, which is very risky. I'd say we need three quality players added to
the squad and some of the dead wood shown the door, assuming some other mug
will pick up their wages.
> Are we going to stay up next season if we play like we have this season?
If they recreate the form of the last three months it will be a long
struggle but we always start the season full of optimism!.Having stabilised
things this year they should be looking to push on. We know we're not going
to break into the top four but we should be looking at some improvement. It
would be good to see us in contention for a European place going in to the
last few games.

Several clubs with great stadiums have less than stellar teams :-)
> Most of the guys work hard but good enough for the premiership?
Some are, some ain't. I think we all know who's who!
