lets look at it this way...we have so far played 6 halves of football,and kept a clean sheet in 5 of them.okay we havent scored yet,but i really think this...someone is gonna get a caning from us soon! our 4 goal loss against man city looks increasingly like being put In prospective.WE ARE DOING OKAY!!!! so lets quit any negativity and see the positives,not only negatives!
Yes the way other results have gone, it definitely puts our results in perspective. Man City are going to thrash a lot of teams this season, at least we've got that out of the way now.
Well said. Surely everyone knows this season is going to be based on clean sheets, and we have already shown that we can cope with premiership quality attacks. If you were to add 5 or 6 first team players to any side it would take a few games for them to gel, and added to that, the step up alot of our players are making is massive, including our new signings. We have to remember we have over achieved to get to this position, and are coping very well with the best league in the world.
We've ridden our luck for sure at times but you need that at any level. You're right - clean sheets are a great start. Something you can build on. If teams know you're tough to break down they commit players forward and I'm still very confident about us being able to score goals. Graham is still adjusting to a step up in opponents, new team mates and a different style of play. He'll come good imo. Yes, we've done OK so far.
We are going to do okay in this league, we more than coped against Sunderland and Wigan and should have won the games hands down, the man city game we held them for a full 60 mins, which is not bad. We ride our luck yes, but so does all other teams, the fact is they didn't score at the liberty and no matter how you look at it that is all that counts.
