megansdad Posted December 13, 2003 Report Share Posted December 13, 2003 Having looked at the table we are only 3 points of 4th spot and 4 of 3rd. This despite not yet hitting top form. We are though dominating matches and playing better football Rovers lost to Yeovil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
openEnd Posted December 13, 2003 Report Share Posted December 13, 2003 I admire your faith...however I cannot think of any silver lining after yet another poor result. Pitiful. Top 10 finish I'm afraid (if we're lucky). Oh and the gas are irrelevant as far as I'm concerned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
megansdad Posted December 13, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2003 Actually agree with your final point. But think this season has a lot left in it, while it is 2 points dropped today we are still well in touch with at least a play off spot and a good run over Xmas starting next Saturday could easily see us close the gap on QPR. We now have Stockport at home, Brentford away, Bournemouth at home, Notts County away and Chesterfield at home 5 matcheswe could easily win. So I will not be writing this saeson off just yet.

Dave L Posted December 13, 2003 Report Share Posted December 13, 2003 So I will not be writing this saeson off just yet. Good on you. You'd have to be a real pessismist to write the season off at this stage, with over half our games still to play. We will finish in the top two.

An opinion based on FACTS and SUBSTANCE. Not on if's, buts and maybes, clouded by emotion. How many more poor results are we to accept then? I for one cant take much more.

megansdad Posted December 13, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2003 Here's a few of Facts There's over half the season left We are 2 points off a play off place 1 team of the 4 who get into the play offs gets promoted QPR and Plymouth are not exactly out of sight plenty to play for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taz Posted December 13, 2003 Report Share Posted December 13, 2003 Agree that the Gas are irrelevant - I really couldn't give a monkeys about them. As far as this season is concerned...... Unless we've suddenly lost about 4 months of the season, there are still a number of games left!! It aint over yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Spike Posted December 13, 2003 Report Share Posted December 13, 2003 heres 2 reasons to be very disapointed: 1) If we were playing as well as we should be we should be at least 6 points clear now 2) Even if we crawl our way up the table and get promoted you can guarentee with this type of form and team we will be looking at a relegation season next season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grebes Posted December 13, 2003 Report Share Posted December 13, 2003 This Division is so 'cack' we will still make the play-offs with our usual forthcoming unbeaten run. We will not make the top 2 under current form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Red Hat Posted December 13, 2003 Report Share Posted December 13, 2003 This division is so 'cack' we're 9th, what possible reason is there to assume anything will change under current form? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cider red Posted December 13, 2003 Report Share Posted December 13, 2003 We will stil easily make the playoffs , and with our next 5 games being against "lower oposition" we should pick up a fair amount of points. But you never know with city , we havent done very well against these kinds of teams this season , but hopefully we can start to turn that round and with the way we are playing (bar the finnishing), i can see us not too far off qpr and plymouth after the next five games.

wesco Posted December 13, 2003 Report Share Posted December 13, 2003 The worrying thing I find is that we can't score dispite all the chances we are creating. I know we didn't have that many chances today but stiol enough and only hit the target a couple of times. Blackpool, if Thorpe had been up front I'm sure he would have scored about 5, we just couldn't get the ball in the net. Also Barnsley, well same again lots of chances just can't finish them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimplyRed Posted December 14, 2003 Report Share Posted December 14, 2003 <br /> I prefer the term REALIST. An opinion based on FACTS and SUBSTANCE. But REALISTICALLY, we are still in with a shout to go up. We're only a few points off the pace with over half the season to go. The FACTS are that we are producing the performances now, but the clinical finishing still needs a bit of polishing. The SUBSTANCE of all this is that we are now proving that we are a good side and looking the biz. We now need to start punctuating our superiority by sticking the ball in the back of the net a bit more often. I think the original poster had it spot on - Reasons to be Cheerful... Go on... give us a smile.. it's nearly Crimble... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
megansdad Posted January 17, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2004 "We now have Stockport at home, Brentford away, Bournemouth at home, Notts County away and Chesterfield at home 5 matcheswe could easily win. So I will not be writing this saeson off just yet." If I've worked the technology right (couldn't but it was)that was what I said after the Rushden game. 5 games on and now plenty of reasons to be cheerful with Goodfellow seemingly a very good addition, despite plenty of concerned comment on the forum when he was bought. Still much to do to catch up with QPR and Plymouth but no reason why the run can't continue in the next 5 games- Hartlepool away looks the toughest followed by Grimsby away Brentford home Peterborough away and Wrexham home - 4 wins and a draw would propbably see us close the gap on QPR and Plymouth. The automatic slot is not far away. Off to a 40th party in London celebratory mood in my new 100 years at the Gate shirt - sure to get plenty of stick but who cares!!!!

openEnd Posted January 17, 2004 Report Share Posted January 17, 2004 Phatwilly, I have tried to avoid directly responding to your side-swipes in the past, and there have been a few. I'm sure it wouldn't be too difficult to rake up an old post of yours and re-apply it's content in todays circumstances, but I really can't be arsed with such a pointless pastime. At the time of writing we were knocking out pathetic performances and results week after week. Wilsons tactics and substitutions were dodgy to say the least. Crowds were dwindling and I really could not see us challenging on the form then, I still stand by that today, had we continued like that we would be mid-table. Thankfully Wilson started to play players in their positions and looks like he has made a useful signing. Hence a turn around in fortunes and a climb up the table, are you keeping up with this? Yes playoffs now look possible, but no more than that, possible. You don't win anything in January. You say I look silly, well you would know all about that.

openEnd Posted January 17, 2004 Report Share Posted January 17, 2004 How do you do that then? I don't usually reply to your tosh. Prior to this one I can't remember the last post of yours I felt compelled to reply to. An arrangement that I will re-employ after this post. Anyway that'll do for now before you bore me further :Sleep12: :Sleep12: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
megansdad Posted February 18, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2004 Well given that the current winning run corresponded with the start of this post I don't want to risk it coming to an end by not adding to it and looking forward to the next five games!!! Clearly we exceeded my hopes for the last 5 by winning at Hartlepool, where I thought a draw would be a good result, and it was the perfect end to my 42nd birthday to see us TOP of the league last night! Now to stay there and get promotion automatically.. : To the next 5 games Wrexham on Saturday and the trip the following week to Sheffield Wednesday look the toughest, with Wycombe at Home, Stockport away and Rushden at home all games we should win. The way we are going presently though I see no reason why we shouldn't win the next 5 as well and open up a bit of a cushion between ourselves and the rest of the league. Come on you reds!!!!

Port Said Red Posted February 18, 2004 Report Share Posted February 18, 2004 Thank god for that! I didn't notice the start date on this post, and was starting to get a wierd feeling. At first I thought Open Ends comments were a joke, then I realised they weren't and I read down and started to think that I had woken up and the last 10 games had all been a dream! (ala Bobby in Dallas). I am so happy that I got to the bottom and found the truth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
