Ivorguy Posted September 28, 2018 Report Share Posted September 28, 2018 Well, the marker of ten games has been reached. Are We any wiser how the rest of the season will go? Probably not In fact, these ten games sum up LJ's management of the club. At times, success seems within our grasp, at other disaster appears imminent Same old City at this level: Lack of consistency, conceding as many goals as we score, recourse to hoof ball, lack of leadership on the field, failure to hold a lead, too many poor crosses etc etc For us oldies we have been here too many times in the past, just waiting for the season that takes us back to our comfort zone of third tier. But this season is unlikely to be that one. Mid table finish looms, probably lower mid table, possibly higher mid table. Will that lift morale for 2019/20 season? Almost certainly not. Unlikely to be any change in coaching staff on this scenario. Well, let's hope second set of ten games lifts our spirits, but we need a tighter defence, a sounder midfield, and a goal scoring forward (think Weismann has probably shot his bolt for the season) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cityexile Posted September 28, 2018 Report Share Posted September 28, 2018 Think some of the teams we have played are in false positions, but worthy of a mention that we have not played a team in the bottom third of the league yet at a quick glance. All about expectations I suppose. Happy with a solid mid table if we play decent football. If we hit mid table playing like we have last two games...less so.

stephenkibby. Posted September 28, 2018 Report Share Posted September 28, 2018 Doesn't seem to matter who you play in this division every game is tough. Anyone thinking Rotherham away is a probable 3 points needs to think again. We will be alright and that's about it. If we can match the points return from the next 10 that for me would be a great return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wanderingred Posted September 28, 2018 Report Share Posted September 28, 2018 I think Mr Meldrew is quite accurate in his assessment of the season so far. A real mixed bag. At times, we've looked like we could challenge, at others we look more than capable of going on a disastrous run and plummeting down the table. In all probability, neither of these scenarios will happen and we'll just plod along in mid table. Let's just hope the football is better than it was tonight.

Red Army 87 Posted September 28, 2018 Report Share Posted September 28, 2018 Considering we have almost dropped out of this league 2 out of the last 3 seasons, to be competitive, bordering on challenging for playoffs, with the vast amounts of money being spent, is excellent in my book.

Alan Dicks Posted September 28, 2018 Report Share Posted September 28, 2018 Down at Bournemouth at the moment for a long weekend break. Got to say how happy iam for the Cherries fans doing so well in the prem. On a depressing note last time i was down here i watched one of their games v Swansea. Swansea had just come up from league 3 and Bournmouth we're almost bankrupt with a huge points deduction. I think you all know where this post is going so I'll leave it just here.

reddogkev Posted September 28, 2018 Report Share Posted September 28, 2018 Miserable thread alert! Actually still expecting the team to be relegated some season soon?

In those 10 we have faced 2 of the relegated sides, and 3 of the teams expected to be pushing promotion this year (Boro, Forest and Villa) along with Sheffield United who are probably considered a playoff contender.

TonyTonyTony Posted September 28, 2018 Report Share Posted September 28, 2018 I’ll take a just below the playoffs start to the season, followed by a run of form at the end of the season any day of the week. we look alright. Don’t be so negative P.S don’t worry if Weismann has shot his bolt. We have Andi Weimann as a back up... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is the true story? I think all of us, inc James and you are saying the same thing, and that is that we are mixed and somewhere around mid-table.
