Our Goal Difference & Form....its Rubbish

Fourth from bottom of the table, on GD. Below Tottenham.

The weakest, surviving Prem Team, is either Tottenham or us. Depending on how you want to measure it.

Rayo V will be relishing the prospect in Leipzig.

Bottom of the Form Table too.

6 points above the relegation zone at season end. Awful league season. Dreadful from November onwards. If we win on Wednesday we will need to make a fast start next season again because we’ve shown that our League form is relegation form once we get stuck into European games.

In November sure we was top 4 in middle of December , 53 points last year didnt get us in top 10 , this season 53 almost got you in champions lge , each season is different , sure all the other clubs fans will be saying similar things

Rayo Vallecano are unbeaten in their last 9 games, winning 6 of them.
We have only won 2 of our last 9 matches, both against Shakhtar Donetsk, and losing 4 of those matches.
Our defence is not 'Watertight', we have started to concede with worrying regularity, our defence being breached 17 times in those last 9 encounters.
Chris Richards is unavailable, Wharton collected an ankle injury yesterday and at this juncture we don't know the knock-on effect.
I am far from confident that we will lift the trophy.

I get that you've gone all negative and are never happier than when wading in pessimism. However, you yourself posted that we had the toughest run in. Was Rayo's as tough? And Richards and Wharton might still play.

One positive I will add. Prem survival was always number one and it has been achieved. But our focus this season was secondarily Europe. That our only wins you mention were in that competition should tell you where we have placed all our eggs.

There is no given, and we will play a good team on decent form who have had an extra day to prepare. It will be very tough and hard to watch at times. But Glasner will not want to sign off with a loss. I suspect we will do as we did at Wembley. Twice. Win. Just.
 
We've been crap for most of the season. However we managed to scrape through the qualifying section of this Conference Cup business and then managed to play very well against two fairly decent teams to reach the final, so the players can reach that level of performance. Just once more is all it takes.

I readily admit that I am no panglossian apropos our prospects but would not admit to revelling in alarm and despondency.
In respect of the run-in of Rayo Vallecano, I do not profess to having a deep knowledge of the strengths and weaknesses of the teams in 'La Liga', indeed I rarely peruse the table.The fact remains they are unbeaten in 9 games, accordingly their form has been better than ours using the same metric.
 
We have played dire all season, terrible in domestic cups, awful in the early stages of the Conference league, a tournament we were favorites to win, HOLers, have blamed too may matches, poor quality of signings, wrong type of grass, too windy, everything in fact, except what is the cause, Glasner, an unbelievably overrated man, with minimal tactical knowledge, one trick pony, i hope we can win the Conference final and wave goodbye to him, and give the new manager, whoever it may be, some European football.

Glasner did preside over the "when we were Kings at the Palace" Era. He has also had success at previous clubs. 'the problem' is now at our recruiting & new player acquisition department. Its no surprise to me that Mateta, a Dougie Freedman purchase, is the only Eagle scoring.

In your opinion, not mine, time will tell what happens to the players we have purchased and if Glasner can ever run a successful domestic league season, Mateta was a figure of fun on this website when he first signed.

But one thing he is good at is Cups.

Just one a season though...
