Plenty of offensive firepower on the bench - hopefully D'Aversa will use it.

Sepe's awful goalkeeping cost us the Fiorentina game and then he comes out with this. Didn't his agent suggest he was too good for Parma?

Sepe hits back at Parma fan | Football Italia

Parma goalkeeper Luigi Sepe hits back at a fan who warned him and Gervinho to leave the club. The Crociati picked up a 3-3 draw away at Fiorentina on Sunday, but have plenty of regrets as a last-gasp own-goal by Simone Iacoponi prevented Parma from winning the game.

Another pathetic defensive performance overall, truly awful yet again.

 

[Indra]

Crotone battered Torino, so real possibility we will end up bottom of the league.

 

[Indra]

Pleased to see Mihaila score.

If we ever stop conceding (at least) two goals a game we might actually win one this year.

 

[Indra]

Luca Carra, our CEO for five years, has been dismissed by the club. Possibly expected with the takeover?

Seems like we have hired a new MD - Jaap Kalma, formerly at AC Milan.

 

[Indra]

And once again, we have no strikers fully fit for the Roma match. Is our fitness/conditioning training really that poor?

 

[Indra]

I'm speechless, we beat Roma 2-0. First win in 17 matches or something

 

[KLP]

I'm speechless we didn't concede at least two goals!

Wonderful result in a woeful season, still feels like too little too late and all those dropped points have condemned us.

Still Genoa next week, so if we can win that we'd be close to joining the relegation dogfight.

Someone was quoted as saying "We weren't worried that we would concede goals", or something along those lines.

Well I f'ing was! I can still hardly believe that of all the teams we were going to end our drought against, it was going to be Roma. Let's not crap out against smaller teams now.

Also, it's not just up to us. I've found myself in the awkward and unique position of hoping that Juve win games in the Serie A. They were playing Cagliari, and they are going to play Torino soon.

I just hope that this wasn't just a spasm of the team and that we're going to keep winning games. Honestly I'm used to us doing one step forward and two steps back... but hey... stupid hope!

Certainly the defensive setup has taken a BIG step backwards this season, we're joint second worse for goals conceded and bottom of goals scored.

It's a sad state when already with so many games to go our fate is not really entirely in our hands. The only control we have is in the negative scenario, we can make sure we get relegated, but to survive we have to do our bit AND rely on others. It's been a rather odd season though, even taking our win over Roma, there have been many other cases of the underdog winning a game they they really should not on paper have won. Unfortunately those underdogs are the ones we need to get above...

I believe hope D'Aversa is finally getting through to the team and they are starting to galvanize, to believe and not to give in, certainly the talk from the likes of Pellé are of the never give up line. Big game with Genoa, it's a must win for us, as are all the games against direct opposition with the hopes of scraping points against some of the bigger clubs still. Slim hopes but a glimmer remains.

It's possible that we have more of a hand in this than I think. A lot of teams that are in trouble will still play eachother and we still have to play a lot of those same teams.

It's just a bit early to celebrate, considering we just had our THIRD victory of the season.

What I find staggering is that we were on two wins total and on a 17 game streak without wins and we aren't rock bottom. We're not the only ones in trouble apparently.

 

[KLP]

Unfortunately Torino beat Sassuolo in one of their catch up games - that's another unexpected result IMO given the points advantage Sassuolo have, you'd expect them to be clear winners in that game this season.

I suspect that I'll be their at the end of the season b!tching about the games we drew when we could have won, Fiorentina as a case in point most recently. Still Genoa game is [EDIT a day early! it's this Friday evening] so the truth of our "recovery" will be known soon enough.

Case in point.

Also from that post, now I'm watching Benevento beat Juve in Turin and NOT be happy about it.

This season man...

Oh well back to form - concede two goals.... This is the nail in the coffin, at best I think there were around 16 points I think I could see us getting - so we'd be on 35 points... so anyone above that is more or less safe already., and we're still 6-7 points from fourth from bottom. At best we'll get third from bottom on this. Hope those new signings have contracts that keep them with us for B.... Else we'll lose the best players to Serie A and never get to rebuild.

 

[Indra]

Yeah survival in Serie A looks remote after that result. Absolutely hate losing to a scrappy team like Genoa (or rather Scamacca - guess we know why we bid 25 million for him) - we should have won. Roma result obviously a blip.

Yeah, have to agree with this unfortunately, too many points lost at this stage.

We have Milan, Juventus, Lazio and Atalanta all coming up - realistically we're not going to pick up anything here are we?
