Hi Fellow Fans, I like the rest of you would like to figure out what has changed for the worse. RoKo got Manager of the Month in Feb and we were back in the frame. Then Fraser Foster, that keeper many continued to knock, got injured v Burnley. At that point we had conceded 19 goals in 30 matches. Six games later won 1 draw 1 lost four conceded a total of 11 goals in 6 games last 5 two per game. I think Forster was a massive loss - for his clean sheets etc and the confidence he gave the back 4. Over the past couple of months Clyne has stopped being the marauding wing back and hardly broken into a trot or sweat. He should be careful because Van Gaal will have noticed this. Bertrand has played much better but still is not like before Xmas. Wanyama and Schneiderlin have hardly played a game together and both have not been themselves. Most of this is down to the speculation about their futures. Alderweireld has not been regularly in the back 4 and Jose and he were brilliant until the Forster injury. Tadic who was brilliant until nov has clearly got a big injury no one has admitted to and his creativity has been missing since November. Our forwards certainly need some restructuring. I think they can all contribute in the right environment but a Charlie Austin type might be the answer. We have had a great season even if we lose the last 2 and Swansea get past us. It is such a shame this has happened and I think although I have named a number of individuals the TEAM is not the team it was. I think the key problem is the loss of Fraser Forster and the fact that we have played teams who are far hungrier than we are right now. Keep the faith and I am sure Roko and the board will fix things in the summer and give us an even better season next year.

I think the squad is fatigued and not in the right mind set. Forster was a huge loss as he usually pulls off a big save at least once or twice a game in which Gazza and Davis haven't done. The sooner the season ends the better, opportunity to sort the squad and add much needed depth in Midfield.
