    A lot is dependent on form, ie how quickly Botman, Isak, Willock, Anderson and Barnes get back to form.

    Coventry are better than Blackburn.

    They can be actually and the odds are if you are having to make great saves then other side should be winning.

    Why has everyone got their heads in the sand... we're playing badly and getting worse? We're dreadful and we've now reached the balls hit the goalkeeper loads level.

    Rofl tell that to Liverpool and the amount of times Allison has gotten Liverpool points on his own.

    Having a good keeper save shots isn't luck, your performance may not have earned a result but plenty of good sides win when they play **** because of player quality.

    We got an underserved win vs Forest and Blackburn because we had a couple of players that made the difference.

    Man utd are 6th because of this. They often play **** and then someone in their sides makes the difference.

    Salah carries Liverpool quite often when he players.

    KDB got City and undeserved win vs us.

    **** happens.

    The thing is there's good saves there's poor finishes and luck involved in saves. Ultimately Bournemouth created several more good chances. .. essentially I'm right good saves can be pure luck.

    Can we just agree we're playing crap and have been for ages?

    If they couldn't finish thats on them. That's the story of the life of ****ter sides. They may play well but lack of quality finishing leads to defeats when they play well against good sides.

    At the end of the day we're not lucky bad sides cannot finish, they are victims of being not good enough to capitalise on opportunities.

    I don't think you understand that sometimes it just hits a keeper. There's luck involved also in the fact that a striker will more often than not take big chances.

    Ultimately if the keeper is having to make big saves over and over again you're 1. Playing badly and 2. Riding your luck:emoticon-0148-yes:

    did you count the Charity shield 1996 after Manure won the double the previous season
    we played as the second best team that season
    I remember it well, it pissed down on us with a massive storm straight after the final whistle

    Yeah counted that. Got soaked coming out of that one.
    I’ve got FA Cup x 3 League Cup x 2 Charity Shield x 2 FA Cup Semi x 1 so other one must be FA Centenary tournament.
