roddy-d Posted February 10, 2018 Report Share Posted February 10, 2018 3 minutes ago, RidgeRed said: I think roddy means 3-0 h/t should be a comfortable 3pts so make sure we get them. If it ends 3-0 that's ok. Just don't give the opposition any chance of a comeback. It's not often 3-0 h/t ends up as 6 or 7. We look unlikely to get auto so let's make sure we get the 3 points against poor sides. This what he said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of them will be learning. It’s a bit different to having, say, Warnock and a squad of 34 year olds. So do you have to be over 50 to understand that doing the same thing over and over will result in the same outcome then? 36 isn't like some teenager who has yet to learn life lessons. The penny should've dropped by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This team will make mistakes - I don't really see where the recurring mistake is this time though, he felt he should've bought on a midfielder at 3-1. What is the same thing 'over and over'?

Bazooka Joe Posted February 10, 2018 Report Share Posted February 10, 2018 1 hour ago, robin_unreliant said: I don't think you can argue with him saying he got the tactics wrong. However he keeps saying 'we'll learn from that' which is where I would have a problem. We've all seen us throw away good leads over the last few seasons. If he didn't learn from the numerous times it happened last season then why should we assume he will now? Seems to be some fundamental weakness in our dna that comes back to haunt us. Whether that really is LJ's fault I would say is open to question. Maybe he just wanted to avoid the players taking the blame and confidence sinking even more. Fair comment. It's the same repetitive mantra churned out by the government, police, health and social care services when things go horribly wrong (again, and again and again) Everyone makes the odd mistake, but no point saying "we'll learn from that" unless they really do. I'd prefer them to say "it won't happen again" and to to held accountable if it does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esmond Million's Bung Posted February 10, 2018 Report Share Posted February 10, 2018 Two matches now on the trot both against lowly opposition and LJ has got it badly wrong on both occasions. But the bottom line is ignore our Carabao cup games and our win against a piss poor QPR and our form over the past 7 league games has been shocking, Won 1 Lost 4 Drawn 2 or 5 points out of 21. And I firmly believe the stubborn decision to muddle through without signing a right back after Pisano's injury is a major factor, just because we got away with it up until December with Wright playing there, that decision has been confounded by Baker's sending off and LJ's obvious lack of trust in Magnússon. And I have to say looking at our run of games to come I cannot (unless something changes) see and end to this poor run i'm sorry to say. Not good at all.

Dr Balls Posted February 10, 2018 Report Share Posted February 10, 2018 Our form has been very poor in the league since Christmas. And it had coincided with LJ chopping & changing the team. Once Baker is back, lets just play our best team (see below) & bring players like Kent on as impact substitutes.

What is the same thing 'over and over'? To be fair I think my comments were partly a result of the feeling of frustration over what happened today. We threw away two and three goal leads multiple times last season. I thought we had progressed this year, suggesting Lee and the players had, indeed, learnt something from that. Today it just felt like the same old story and that we really have learned nothing. Having calmed down a bit I think that is probably a bit unfair. We really do need to get more consistency and professionalism into our game management though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RED4LIFE Posted February 10, 2018 Report Share Posted February 10, 2018 I see Londoner is spouting his usual 'I'm better than you' nonsense. But as an academic, I presume that's his prerogative (he obviously doesn't realise that quite a few of us on here went to good schools too). Maybe it's because of the London-centric media making him feel like he lives in the most important place in the world and he's basking in reflective glory...... Funnily enough, he's barely posted this season until we started to have a bad run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cityfan Posted February 11, 2018 Report Share Posted February 11, 2018 City have 45 points to play for, are just 6 points behind automatic promotion and are currently in a play-off position. Let's hope their current form ends and they go on a run. They certainly need to and if they do they could still finish 2nd. However you look at it, they have every opportunity to be in the play-offs come the season end. If they don't make it for poor form, then this has been a progressive season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
