    Unbeaten in two games, momentum building...

    I can’t decide whether your being serious?

    I think people get so desperate to win that they forget the importance of not losing.

    It's a point in the bag and a good habit to get into.

    The players will feel better after that than holding on for a 0-0

    You’re even less optimistic than me, Mick

    He's predicted 4 - 0 wins every week for years

    I think people have been so Ashleyfied and bruced that they forget the purpose of playing football.

    Which is to try and win games.

    We don’t demand a team that wins. We demand a team that tries to win.

    And we are not doing so.

    Let’s not get into this again.

    You could also say it’s 4 points lost.

    I think we tried very hard against Watford and the players deserve credit.

    Finishing was poor, but the effort was absolutely there.

    The level of finishing in the Prem is high, its very very hard to keep a clean sheet. We need to put games to bed.

    I agree with that. Do we even have a attack minded coach?

    According to Bruce a few weeks ago he is doing the defensive coaching and Graeme Jones is working with the attack

    Makes no sense to me what so ever.

    One single manager is needed and all decisions need to be final with that manager.

    Be it Bruce or Jones. We basically have two bosses, not gonna work in 2021.

    We have scored every single game this season tho, all open play.

    Even with no striker. Jones clearly wants more shots from everyone.

    Very true goals are not the problem your right.

    But finishing is. We are creating more chances it has to be said.

    I know mate we need wins I get that, but at least we've picked up a useful point and played some good football.

    I'd have felt worse if we had the usual 30% possesion and felt like we'd hung on for a 0-0

    We've got to get a few wins on the board come over the next run of games though

    Wilson is literally out only goalscorer... The others fwd thinking cause problems but can't score.. Max has some end product but not as much as he probably could of he was in a better team

    Fair play. Ok. We did well against Watford and I wished we had won.

    The game against Wolves is massive now. Im not gonna say it’s the biggest game in our history because I’ve been lashed with the cat of nine tails for that.

    But it really is a big game one of which we need to at least draw. Buy a win is much more desirable.

    (I said to the shrink I would try some of this positivity **** and the last time I did that was ironically against Everton last season).

    If we beat Wolves the Outlook is a lot better, i think we would see us quite a bit above the relegation zone and in a place we are all happier with.

    I think going forward we are a different animal, we pass it better and catch teams sleeping, it is better.

    But we need to score more, thats no down to coaches, players against Watford were wasters.

    It is I think we could then have a go at Tottenham they're not looking good at all.

    wounded animal, could catch them sleeping.

    If we beat Wolves somehow and then Spurs, **** we are suddenly top half and buzzing.

    Two losses and i think a new boss is needed, someone a bit younger

    I think we need the win tbh, but if we draw other teams will lose.

    That run of games on Dec means we need at least 4 wins prior or we are then in serious trouble
