You Do The Dziekanowski Posted October 20, 2013 Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 We should organise a friendly against one of the teams from the downs, Just to get confidence back But that would probably turn out bad for us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kibs Posted October 20, 2013 Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 If anyone's going to get a hiding it's more likely to be us!! Worrying thing for me is the chances and goals are beginning to dry up. We don't look like scoring at the moment. 3 of the next 4 at home, no hiding place at AG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sincerely hope your right, me i'd would have taken a scrappy 1-0 victory yesterday and also on tuesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

downendcity Posted October 20, 2013 Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 listening to Leroy on the FL Show last night, he commented about our position and that the danger is that the belief will be sucked out of the players the longer we go without a win. A few weeks back, when so many commented on how well we were playing and just not getting the results, I felt reasonably hopeful. My worry now is that the players become resigned to disappointment and almost start to expect it, lose positivity and that disappointment becomes a self fulfilling prophecy.

downendcity Posted October 20, 2013 Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 Sorry to bang on about it, but postponing two home games, that we had every chance of winning, doesn't look too clever now, does it? I agree it hasn't helped, but as always that is with the benefit of hindsight. What if we gone ahead with the home games, and lost key players to injury and were forced to play untried youngsters or even Kilkenny because of the players away on international duty and lost those games? There would have been a witch hunt against SOD, the board, Uncle Tom Cobbly and all, for a stupid decision not to postpone the games. Our league position puts the board and SOD in a no win position (in more ways than one!) over almost every decision being made just now. Liker so many, I want SOD to succeed, but the longer this winless streak continues and with us at the foot of the table, the less optimistic I am about his chances of survival. Not because I am an avid SOD lover, but because I just cannot see how yet more upheaval can possibly help, as in my view too much chopping and changing over the last 4 years is a major cause of our current predicament. OTIB is now sounding very much like it did as we got towards the end of GJ, Millen and McInness's time, and even though JL said they won't be swayed by the fans opinions, the board have little goodwill in the bank at the moment, so I think the board will act if only to quell the fans unrest and also because I cannot believe the board are prepared to contemplate another relegation. If thy do make the decision, then who the hell is going to want to come here? If SOD goes, then I really worry for our future. For those fans calling for Warnock as a replacement I worry for their sanity! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dezgimed Posted October 20, 2013 Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 That is the law of averages. Wins and losses average out over a long period, but that says nothing about sequences in the short term. So over 100 years, Man Utd will have 33% Wins 33% Draws and 33% Losses?

Chivs Posted October 20, 2013 Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 Do you believe in parallel universes? We both do, yes. For my part, I can't see us "hammering" anyone, any time soon. My only hope is that we fluke a winner off Baldock's arse in the 90th minute. Then, we can start to think about the long unbeaten run... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chinapig Posted October 20, 2013 Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 The law of averages is a myth. If you flip a coin 100 times you will not get a distribution of 50 heads and 50 tails because every flip is an independent event and is not influenced by what has happened before. Similarly, every game we play is independent so the fact that we have not won in 20 has no effect on the likelihood of us winning, losing or drawing the next. If you believe in the law of averages your local casino will be delighted to welcome you to the roulette wheel though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
