I agree, awful performance tonight. However, if the ref had done his job properly and given the penalty when the keeper flattened Bobby, it's a different game. Also Flint second half. No chance of finishing top 6?? Behave yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingswoodactor Posted February 2, 2018 Report Share Posted February 2, 2018 Mental. If a few of the teams around us draw tomorrow, then it hardly changes anything. 3 points against Sunderland is all that matters now. Can still see us finishing 4-5th.

Ivorguy Posted February 3, 2018 Report Share Posted February 3, 2018 As LJ keeps saying 'we are a work in progress' Don't believe coaching staff think this is a Premiership side in the making yet If they did we would have spent money in transfer window. We shall know when the coaching staff think we are Premiership material when they buy Premiership players, say two, for the final push over the line. LJ himself has said that Walsh is one for the future and he is our one and only signing. The other two are loans, one a kid with as yet unfulfilled promise the other a punt. We need to go up with a team that has at least 7/8 players who are Premiership quality. This side, for all its success, is quite a bit short of that, as recent league games have shown. The last time we reached the top division the side certainly did have a fair raft of players of Premiership quality. We may still make playoffs, if our slide can be halted pdq, but the chance of promotion I would suggest is a trifle unrealistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stokes7 Posted February 3, 2018 Report Share Posted February 3, 2018 Lmfao here we go again same old crap after a defeat oh we ain't gonna make playoffs, then we win and yes we can make playoffs.ffs yes we were poor but it's fine margins but for a very poor decision at start of the game result could have been different, it amazes me how negative some are after a defeat but I'm not giving up believing we can do it until it's mathematical impossible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Today is an utter sickener but anyone claiming that a team in the top six mid February have no chance finishing there is an utter fool. And someone regurgitating the thread because of a bad result just looks like an utter tool, too. We need to sort ourselves out for sure but of course we have a chance of the top six. It is a long season and form fluctuates. Maybe we will make it or maybe we will not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CalgaryRed Posted February 10, 2018 Report Share Posted February 10, 2018 I got a lot of stick on here for saying after the Wolves debacle that our high water mark for the season had come and gone. But it had and has. The Man United and Man City games were glorious but distracted the players and made them some of them think they could get a big money move and - whether they recognized it or not - that they were too good to have to work as hard in a very competitive division. Plus a manager who doesn't know how to hold onto three goal leads when gifted to him. Mid-table finish (10th ?) - if you think I'm talking crap put your money up..

Wanderingred Posted February 10, 2018 Report Share Posted February 10, 2018 I think realistically this is going to have such a massive impact on our belief and confidence that could turn out to be terminal. I'd like to think we can still make it and it's idiotic to write us off, but it's more blind hope than expectation for me now. It's a sickener guys I know but let's remember the good memories this season has given us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alessandro Posted February 10, 2018 Report Share Posted February 10, 2018 Long way to go. Yes, poor second half today, but you cannot deny we've had our fair share of bad luck over the last month or so. Two own goals and one from a free kick that was a clear dive. Pato's shirt tugged back but no pen - Sucker punched at Bolton - Baker red that could have been yellow, amongst other things that haven't gone our way. Wasn't mean't to be today. Hopefully we'll learn and results against Leeds and Fulham would swing momentum back in our favour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not think you are talking crap but I do think you lack the clairvoyance skills that you credit yourself with. What you describe is a possible outcome, if the players do not get their focus and their attitude back on track. On the other hand, another possible outcome is today’s farce reveals some home truths to the players and shocks them into a drastic improvement. I suspect personally the truth will be somewhere in the middle and we will limp through February, gradually improve through March and it will be a tight call between us and a couple of teams for the final play off place. But, if that happens, I won’t be making posts ok here telling everyone how clever I am for calling it. I’ll have a taken an educated guess, like everyone does when they try to predict their team’s form, and happened to be right. PS the Man City game came after the Wolves debacle so, even on your own terms, you are admitting you were wrong in what you said after the Wolves game.

This is a different ball game. Promotion contenders do not throw away 3 goal leads at home to relegation candidates. The chasing pack are gaining, we have tough games coming up and keeping the pace now is going to be incredibly difficult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest, yes gutting to only get 1 point from Bolton and Sunderland - but in reality 6 points from those two games with 0 from Leeds and Fulham is worse than 1 from them and 6 from Leeds and Fulham. These are the key games now and where we are after those two will be a clearly reflection of our form going forwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
