BS3_RED Posted August 11, 2013 Report Share Posted August 11, 2013 If we lose on Saturday we will have 1 point from a possible 9. Not the start any of us thought we would have. I am sure we will be top 10 this season but when you have a bad start, confidence can be ripped apart and before you know it.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corleone Posted August 11, 2013 Report Share Posted August 11, 2013 Remember Palarse lost their first 3 games last season, in a league much tougher than this. Disappointing result today, and I am concerned about our defence and whether we can consistently score goals without JET pulling the strings.

BRISTOL86 Posted August 11, 2013 Report Share Posted August 11, 2013 Sunderland were bottom at Christmas when they won the Championship. Norwich lost 7-1 at home on the opening day in 09/10 and went on to win the league and gain successive promotions. This 'project' is in it's infancy and will come good, I'm sure. Unfortunately only by playing competitive games can we spot and address the weak links. And after just 2 league games I think we know where it is...

I think we all knew, once the fixtures were out that we could easily be bottom three after five games. No need to be too concerned when and if it happens.

Sorry to be picky, Sunderland were 11th at Christmas. They were bottom at the end of August - agreed though awful starts can be turned around Disappointed at how Tuesday's football seemed a million miles from today. Wolves is not going to be fun if we have a repeat of today - who knows what could happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoingUp Posted August 11, 2013 Report Share Posted August 11, 2013 I think we'll beat wolves saturday.the most worrying aspect of todays game was hearing we were bullied by the opposition which I do fear many teams will try to emulate this season.I don't believe there are a lot of good sides in this division but many are good at stopping the perceived better sides from playing good football.very surprised we let 5 in today after looking pretty solid previously but think we'll learn a lot from today hopefully and but things right with a clean sheet on saturday.

In trouble? There are 8 months of the season left after the end of August. In trouble is maybe a bit of an overreaction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair point, I may not have worded it brilliantly. I wouldn't be at all surprised if we didn't take many points from our first few games was basically what I was getting at.

I think most of us knew where the weak links were about two years ago. It's just a shame the manager/s seem to watch a different game to us.

RedZoneJim Posted August 12, 2013 Report Share Posted August 12, 2013 I wholly disagree with that. Why should Wolves and Peterboro be any better equipped for this league than us? Bungeeing between leagues is EXACTLY what Peterboro are equipped for, it's what they do, they invest a little bit of money, develop players and sell them on for bigger fees and the whole cycle starts again, especially strikers. Sometimes they'll stay up sometimes they'll get relegated but they are always strong enough to compete again next year. Apart from Gayle, who they have spent £1.2m on replacing with the lad from Watford, they have pretty much the same squad intact that went on that incredible run after Christmas and picked up more points than pretty much everyone else in the top 6 or whatever that stat was. They've got a way of playing, they know what they're doing and they're a team. Peterborough are so much better prepared for this season than us it's untrue and to even think otherwise is absolutely laughable. As for Wolves? Are you seriously making that as a point? Wolves have got big problems of their own but they already have a good crop of their own kids coming through, because they've got a well-established youth set-up, and yet they've still also got players in the team that were playing in the Premier League two years ago. Sako will be playing for them on Saturday most probably. Wolves biggest problem last season was their ridiculous managerial appointments. In case it's passed you by we've been a mess for a good couple of years now, and are only just starting to scrape the surface of trying to put things right. To even ask the question why Wolves and Peterborough should be better equipped for this league than us dumbfounds me. Doesn't mean we can't compete with them in this division eventually this season, and I think we will, but at the moment there is no comparison between us and either of them.

ciderbeans Posted August 12, 2013 Report Share Posted August 12, 2013 Being brutally honest, I can't see beyond a loss at wolves. Our defence and keeper haven't quite clicked communication wise and the likes of sako and griffiths will capitalise on that. If we play Fontaine we will be weak in the air against the long ball, play Elliot and our midfield will be disjointed. Play Kilkenny and attacking wise, not a lot will happen. If we're are to attempt to get a point it must be: Fielding, Moloney, flint, Williams, Cunningham, wagstaff, wynter, pack, Bryan, jet, baldock. Pack pulling the strings, wynter protecting the back four and helping the play move forward. Wagstaff and Bryan for natural width although they are comfortable in cm, and need I say more about jet and baldock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carey 6 Posted August 13, 2013 Report Share Posted August 13, 2013 I've said since start of season I'd be happy with 4 points from the first 4 league games we had, although expected to beat Cov and draw at MK! We never beat Wolves do we, and can't really see our defence coping with Griffifths & Sako Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EDoubleD Posted August 13, 2013 Report Share Posted August 13, 2013 Think the key is keeping sako quiet. The kid is money. Reckon they'll go wags on the right to protect Maloney. If they don't and play killa again we will get destroyed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
