timothy bird Posted November 2, 2013 Report Share Posted November 2, 2013 I actually don't think we have been in transition for years. we've just been apathetic and shockingly run on and off the pitch for years! now though on the pitch at least we are trying to change things. I know it's not easy atm but this is when supported need to show thei worthy of the name. WA have no Devine right to succeed and the club has been going backwards for years. we need to show character on and off the pitch, city are my club and I've seen far more bad times than good. but that makes the good times even sweeter .my support is UN conditional. but i fear that theirs so many who just snipe and moan through the bad times,anf then climb back on the band waggon when the good times return !

Kingswood Robin Posted November 2, 2013 Report Share Posted November 2, 2013 Did we lose today? I don't if you saw them today, but it was dreadful. What concerns me is there seems to be no progress. We were completely outplayed at home to a team just above the relegation zone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fka dagest Posted November 2, 2013 Report Share Posted November 2, 2013 It was a crap performance there's no doubt about that. In fact Oldham played the sort of possession based football I imagined we'd end up playing under SOD. I think we were lucky to get a draw. If Oldham had a finisher they could have won that by three clear goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were completely outplayed at home to a team just above the relegation zone. Yes I was there today (in the EE) and yes Oldham were a good side, probably deserved 3 points on the basis of their commitment but they rarely threatened thanks to a more solid display from the defence.. Cant recall Parrish having too much to do. Most of the shots were from distance and either wide or over the bar... City were poor but again did we lose?

I know we didn't lose, but for me this was a game we needed win against a team we're chasing and need to get above. We looked so inferior, it was difficult to watch.

No we didn't but a point a game is relegation form, somebody pointed out in the post match phone in after tuesday we will be one third into the season and will require already something not far off of promotion form just to survive.

Listened to that phone in, those City fans make me cringe as much as the deluded gas who reckon they are promotion contenders now. Luckily we got out of range coming back to the Cotswolds. I'd take a win/a draw etc if it means we remain unbeaten.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where on Earth did you get that figure? To avoid relegation, we have to be above four other teams. I don't recall anything in the rules about 1.8 points per game. If we win on Tuesday, we are above those four teams. Staying above them is all we have to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I think you will find that we are going to need in excess of 50 points (which has been the survival total for a few years now), 55 to be really sure and to even achieve that points total NOW we need an average of 1.4 points per game.

So we need 1.4 points / game (NOT 1.8 as previously claimed) to reach a new arbitrary target FIVE POINTS higher that that which would have been enough for the last few years? Do I have that right? I wouldn't want to misrepresent you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"City on the start of a run" ....................of what sh1te football that is nothing like SOD (and his followers) have led us to believe we will witness every week (or after the transistion period) but I have to say nothing would please me more,but please dont ram it too hard.

WellRedPhil Posted November 2, 2013 Report Share Posted November 2, 2013 It was a very poor performance, I don't see how anyone can dispute that really. We didn't create one chance bar the goal and it was obvious that if they scored we wouldn't get another. Oldham played some good football and looked good in the middle but they lacked a cutting edge in the final third and that's probably the only reason we've drawn the game. On the positive side I thought we defended well as a unit today and we looked quite solid. Williams and Moloney were probably our best players and that says something about the performance. A dreary 90 minutes and a fortunate point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
