Crisis - What Crisis

So we find ourselves with 2 wins from 11 games , having just lost consecutive games to Sunderland and Swansea and the team having played like the proverbial drain. In the nearly 50 years of following the Wanderers I cant remember such a run of defeats and yet the majority of fans still have belief in the manager turning the situation around.
Well Sundays game against Stoke is Owens last chance, you can trace the current poor run of form back to the Cup Semi Final ,when only the fans turned up, and Plan A, B , C and D were found to be missing.
Sundays game is the chance for the club, players and management to stand up and show we are the one and only Wanderers and there is a pulse left in the club. Anything less than a win and it will be time for Owen to pack his bags and leave.
Can we show some spirit, and instead of dragging 10 outfield players back for every corner and attacking free kick, with a couple of exceptions we lack pace, and the idea that we are going to counter attack against established premiership teams and pass our way up the pitch is mad. Why not leave at least a couple of players upfield for Stoke to worry about. I would like to see Kakuta given a chance.
The defence has been shambolic, the much vaunted Cahill might has well have left in the Summer, and that seems to have De- stabilised the rest of the defence. We know exactly how Stoke are going to play, they will be strong and competitive and have a couple of decent wingers, the fact that they will be playing their 3rd game in 6 days, and the 22nd game of their season means we should be the fresher side.
Owen Coyle has limited options to change things around, injuries and the lack of cash have been a factor , but the fans minimum expectation is for the players have to play to their potential, the fact that no one player has consistently performed to premiership standard so far this season is why we are in this mess.
The management are paid to get the best they can from the resources available, currently they are failing to do that. I loved Owen Coyle as a player , and want him to succeed as manager of the club, take your chance Owen and go for it on Sunday , we need to bury the spectre of Aprils Semi Final disaster and kick start our season at the same time.

Keep the faith.
