Judda Posted September 17, 2020 Report Share Posted September 17, 2020 I don't want to piss on people's fireworks but are people getting a bit overexcited? We've beaten Exeter, Coventry and now Northampton... now I didn't choose Holden but hope he does well for us... I think after a couple of wins against teams we should beat people are getting a bit overexcited. Let's hope we can continue the winning run against better sides. ️️️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Watts Posted September 17, 2020 Report Share Posted September 17, 2020 We are no doubt getting over excited....but if we can't wax lyrical about that performance and some of the football and talent / potential that was on show last night then we may as well give up watching the game.

Davefevs Posted September 17, 2020 Report Share Posted September 17, 2020 No, I think generally people / posters are pleased with last night, but reflective of their standard. In terms of the Coventry game, I think most people are pleased with the win, but reflective that we weren’t very good for 45-50 minutes. I think a lot of people see a massive improvement on the way Holden / Simpson have spoken in interviews, especially in terms of their honesty in reflecting what most fans saw too.

Hellfire Corner Posted September 17, 2020 Report Share Posted September 17, 2020 Yes - this is OTIB. A good performance and we are world beaters, a poor performance and the end of the world is in sight. One minute, KP is rubbish, the next he’s Messi Nagy should be on loan one minute, the next, build the team round him. I could go on! This is the OTIB Roller Coaster. Never a dull place!

Could lose the next 2 for all I care, but if we are losing whilst giving our all on the pitch, and trying to play decent football, then I'm excited.

Phileas Fogg Posted September 17, 2020 Report Share Posted September 17, 2020 No I don’t think people are really. But regardless, you can only beat what’s in front of you and obviously people will be excited about Palmer but additionally Semenyo and Bakinson.

grifty Posted September 17, 2020 Report Share Posted September 17, 2020 When was the last time we won 4-0 with 77% possession? After watching 2 years of football where we were lucky to get a shot on target in some games, to now winning 3 in a row - I'm going to enjoy it. Do you go to weddings and tell the bride and groom that 50% of marriages end in divorce? No, let people enjoy instead of trying to be negative and bring things down. With everything going on in the world right now, a bit of positivity and optimism goes a long way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prinny Posted September 17, 2020 Report Share Posted September 17, 2020 What is over excited? What is the measurement here? You may be this level of excited but no more! Some people will take our form to mean we will do very well this year, some people will look at the way we played vs Coventry as an indicator that we won't do very well. They'll be extremes on both sides. We shouldn't sack Massengo, and we shouldn't canonize Semenyo. Let people people have fun and go on their emotional roller coaster! Being invested in city is good for people until they become zealots. I think the only bad people are the ones who go "your fun is wrong" if those people aren't hurting anyone by having it. If you stop being excited by the team winning games at least on some level, maybe it's time to find another hobby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We win two on the bounce and we're certainties for relegation. That's just how message boards work. Let's enjoy the good feeling whilst it lasts!

elhombrecito Posted September 17, 2020 Report Share Posted September 17, 2020 Just before the end of the game yesterday, when we were 4-0 up and had thoroughly outplayed our opponents from start to finish, and were enjoying 77% possession, I jokingly speculated to @The turtle about whether the wonderful folks on OTIB could actually find something to complain about. Well, I found it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair I think most people have been saying we've had a decent squad for quite a long time. That's the basis of their frustration with our results and performances for the last few years.

B1ackbird Posted September 17, 2020 Report Share Posted September 17, 2020 TBH.

Jeez Posted September 17, 2020 Report Share Posted September 17, 2020 Yes, completely. But with fair reason, its like we've escaped from the captivity of dull football & players who looked too stressed out raise their game over the past couple of seasons into a Nirvana of a happy team, linking up & working hard for the win. Get the impression team spirit is really high & all are bought into the play to win the shirt mentality. Hopefully this continues against stronger opposition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BetterRedthanBlue Posted September 17, 2020 Report Share Posted September 17, 2020 Announce promotion now after 1 game of the league season! I wouldn't say its being overexcited more being excited about the football we've played, given what we've been used to in the last couple of seasons seeing attacking football is a sight to behold. Also yes we've played Exeter, Coventry and Northampton but 2 of those 2 got promoted so would be on that promotion high and one got to the league two play off final. Stoke is the quote on quote first real test as a few people have them as dark horses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
