Popular Post Fordy62 Posted September 3, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted September 3, 2022 I sat and watched the game this afternoon and I felt like I haven’t felt in years. I felt nervous. Nervous that we’d blow it. The last time I recall feeling like this was under LJ when we were up and around the top of the league that year - and we did blow it. I knew we were doing well, playing well and getting results and I was a nervous wreck that we’d bottle it. That feeling came back this afternoon. I can’t help but feel something really good is happening here. Lots of young hardworking players playing for each other with a spattering of good experienced pros. I can’t say I enjoy the feeling, but it’s a damn sight better than being ambivalent like I’ve been for a number of years. Long May it continue. Enjoy the squad as it is at the moment. There’s only one way we’ll keep it together… 40 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Negan Posted September 3, 2022 Report Share Posted September 3, 2022 We usually have pretty good starts to the season so can't say im feeling to excited just yet, however things are looking pretty bloody good. Conway is magic, what a boy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slippin cider Posted September 3, 2022 Report Share Posted September 3, 2022 Something just clicked today and we played like a well oiled machine….they couldn’t cope with us . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cityexile Posted September 3, 2022 Report Share Posted September 3, 2022 We are far exceeding my expectations this season, so whilst understanding what you are saying, nervous is not the right word for me. Excited, enjoying watching them develop, dreaming a little. Don’t get me wrong, would have been gutted to not the get the three points today late on, but even if somehow he had ended 3-3, we still played some lovely stuff that was a joy to watch for long periods. Nervous for me is when we are in a relegation scrape. Don’t know why but for me that is real gut wrenching stuff. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel much more nervous about ******* up a good position than I do getting relegated. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcusX Posted September 3, 2022 Report Share Posted September 3, 2022 I’ve not seen the game as I’ve just finished playing myself, but been to the last 2 away games. The worst part about this start is the hope… we’ve been hurt so many times by City, I think I kinda liked the doing nothing and expecting nothing I’m not ready for heartbreak again 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel much more nervous about ******* up a good position than I do getting relegated. Relegation I think often comes with a begrudging feeling of resignation. It begins to feel inevitable, and so one simply accepts it ahead of time. It's still crap, but you shrug and say "well we are crap." Messing up a good thing is the opposite. You feel good, you're enjoying life...but it could come crashing down. It's the threat of losing something so good and so rare. That's very different to a relegation season. That's the difference for me. Edited September 3, 2022 by ExiledAjax 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone who knocks us at the moment considering what we have come through clearly either has no clue or seriously dislikes something about the club - manager usually. This is the best feeling around the club for a long long time imho. Feel sorry for those who can’t enjoy it for what it is. Incredible win today. 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tin Posted September 3, 2022 Report Share Posted September 3, 2022 Times like this make it worth trudging through shit watching the City since that Wolves game under LJ. For the first time since Cotts, there’s a real collective, talented team working bloody hard for each other and not being undermined by the self-interested board members. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazred Posted September 3, 2022 Report Share Posted September 3, 2022 Definitely the most enjoyable football we've played in years. Effort and desire everywhere and a goal threat that justifies our league position. We're a dangerous side. It feels like a beautiful dawn. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Defence needs a bit of work I know but let’s just enjoy it whilst it lasts. SL must keep this team together PLEASE. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know it’s probably the last chance for years. Relegation we can do any time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

W-S-M Seagull Posted September 3, 2022 Report Share Posted September 3, 2022 (edited) I feel the opposite. Last season I was nervous cos we kept conceding late goals. This season with every game that we're leading I'm becoming more and more confident that we will see it out. I think I only felt slightly nervous after they got their 2nd today but up until that point I was very confident.
