Red Army 79 Posted October 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 Lets get to the point,we have not played well all season,yet we sit fourth it can only get better. True we haven't played consistantly well this season but we haven't supported the club well this season to much negativity. This is a bloody hard league Wolves have lost 3 games same as us everyone beats everyone in this league. This is why this is such a fantastic league to be in. Lets stop the negativity and start supporting the club like we did last season!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redminster Posted October 21, 2008 Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 Watch the Evil Post lead with " Super Ricky's goal number 11 takes Gas into top half " No doom and gloom at the Gate, more like Boom Boom! Not just the Evil Post either... Points West had a live link up to Alastair Durden at Huish Park and then mentioned Swindon Town but failed to mention either Bristol club's game despite: a) 1 rosette-wearing, rattle-waving man and his dog caring about a relegation threatened Yeovil. b) Swindon not really being part of this region c) Bristol being the city they broadcast PW from d) City playing a club that was recently in the Prem in front of 20k+ to go fourth.

pdgifford64 Posted October 21, 2008 Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 A return to City doing what they do best, playing the ball on the deck. So if me having a moan because we`d resorted to playing hoofball and seemingly had forgotten how to play properly makes me a doom and gloom ,merchant so be it. There are lies, damn lies and statistics. Back up to 4th which is a fantastic bounceback, look at the table though and you``ll see that numerically we are slap bang in the middle of top and 22nd. It`s too early to be negative and too early to be booking hotels for Wembley or planning your tour of the Premier League. It proves Exactly how tough this league is and nothing can be taken for granted. Great job tonight and there`s some payback due on saturday after Barnsley ended our great start last season. Can`t wait to see the highlights. PDG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come back glory hunters come back!!! Yes exactly,last week we had people on here moaning about our position in the league after ONLY ten games.When i stated it was still early days the response was that it will be to late soon Can we have the same people now come back on here and say how happy they are at our league position. I expect they will just say "its only after 12 games", the reality is, that however well we do there will always be some people on here who are negative Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A draw at Barnsley and a point at home to Sheff Utd could see us drop below mid table, it`s that tight. The league table only matters at the end of the season, what matters to me is the performances on the pitch. Plymouth, not so much Wolves but definitely Sheff Utd saw some of our worst performances on the pitch since we were promoted. Thankfully GJ has shaken it up and while we may have been under the cosh and rode our luck for the 1st 20m or so tonight, the WHOLE team put in a performance to be proud of and came away with a fantastic result. IF we can come away with 4 points from the next 2 games, which if we can maintain this level of performance isn`t unreasonable, then that should really get the dressing room buzzing and we can go into the next games on a real high and clubs will look at us knowing last season was not a flash in the pan. Performances, my friend are my yard stick, not a volatile league table, not `til the end of the season anyway. PDG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PDG Of course you're right, the league this year is gearing up to be even closer than last time. Having said that, I personally feel a hell of a lot better with us 4th than I did last week with us in 13th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pdgifford64 Posted October 21, 2008 Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 Points, my friend, are my yard stick - coupled with a decent goal difference. If we've got enough points and a positive goal difference which puts us in the mix, it means the performances have been decent in comparison to the opposition. It's hard competition, not a beauty contest. In Lge 1 and below you might get away with a few crap performances and still get points. In this league you put in a crap performance and you`ll drop points ala Plymouth and Sheff Utd. Get the performances right and the points will look after themselves. And who mentioned a beauty contest or was that suppoesed to be humorous. PDG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PDG Yes it is a volatile league table and performances obviously count, but what i see on this forum is people slagging the team BECAUSE of our league position.I have read one poster on here tonight stating how well its going, when last week he was suicidal!! We all know how tight this league is and like last season we will have our ups and downs.Last season we had real bad performances about now at Barnsley and Ipswich but then turned it round with the next few results. What i find most annoying is the people on here who feel we have some kind of devine right to win every game, and of course when we don't they come out with there negativity. Its a great league to be in, i for one am just happy to be in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pdgifford64 Posted October 21, 2008 Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 Yeah - and the same goes for every other team in this divsion and any other league. In relative terms, it's no difference to league one or the conference or the Bristol district league - play poorly and you lose. I'm not sure what your point is, we are bound to drop points and that should be expected - or do you expect us to play entertaining football and win every game ? We will win when playing poorly and we will lose when playing entertaining stuff during this season and it will level out. It's the points that count at the end of the day, not the performances which doesn't necessarily net the points. Norwich is a good example and Blackpool an even better one. FFS are you just being argumentative for the sake of it or just living up to your name ? You don`t need to be a rocket scientist to know that the higher Lge you play in the more chance you have of being punished when you have an off day. Secondly, yes you`re going to drop points now and again when you`ve done everything to deserve the win, thats football. My point being that the only thing you`re likely to get if you under-perform more often than not, is relegated. Do i expect us to play entertaining football every game ? - pretty much yes, it`s better than watching disjointed hoof-ball. Do i expect us to win every game ? - YES, but i know it won`t happen. The `yes` was tongue-in-cheek bye the way. I take it you`re relying on the law of averages when you say that points lost when playing well will level out with points won when playing poorly. I think you`ll find thats rubbish mate, we`re not talking a coin toss here. If you`re playing well on the day you`ve got more chance of winning the match than if you`re not. And in relative terms ther`s a whole world of difference between CCC and lower leagues, or do i see something that you quite clearly don`t.

They actually did lead with "Lamberts super strike lifts Rovers into top half" and showed no goals from the Valley, local media = useless HTV would have been unlikely to have the footage from the City game, whereas the Rover game was in Bristol and they would have footage. same standards as Saturday apply, they basically only ever have action from home games, and usually just 1st half's if anything.

Jesus Posted October 22, 2008 Report Share Posted October 22, 2008 It seems like the forum goes quiet when we do well!!! Nothing to moan about, and most people won't do positive. Anyway, people who still say we arent playing well... doesn't that make a great team? Not playing well and still winning. BELIEVE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

William Stand Posted October 23, 2008 Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 Lets get to the point,we have not played well all season,yet we sit fourth it can only get better. Spot on, we haven't played well all season save for... 1st half v Derby, Coventry, Cardiff, Donny, 2nd half v Plymouth & Charlton. If we hadn't played well all season we'd be in the bottom 4, not the top 4 ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ashtonyate Posted October 23, 2008 Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 Don't run away with the conclusion that all in the garden is roses yes it was a good win at Charlton but the match against Norwich was not that wonderful. A lot of games this season at home have been poor and we need to improve on it. We play with no width and not much pace and the Norwich game showed both to be missing i never seen how many shots on goal we had but it could not have been many. We are supporter but we liked to be entertained as well as winning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pdgifford64 Posted October 23, 2008 Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 Having just watched the Charlton highlights on World i`ve got to say some of the football was a joy to watch, can only wish i`d been there. It goes to show what this team are capable of, the flip side being that people wonder why some, including me, get so frustrated when we witness some of the stuff played this season. The movement off the ball, the willlingness to move it about quickly while going forward was brilliant. Now, as has been pointed out to me already, we`re not going to produce that kind of performance week in, week out, but if we are to harbour any thoughts of repeating last seasons finish, as a minimum, then it`s going to have to be more often than not as opposed to every now and again. Here`s hoping the boys can raise there game again on Saturday and carry it on to the Sheff Utd game. It would be great to witness that kind of footie on a regular basis at the Gate.
