Couldnt agree more !!! and furthermore I think some of you good folks on here, need to get a bloody grip !!! For crying out loud had we hung on for an extra 60 seconds on Saturday we wouldnt be having this hysteria on here !! Remember we are still unbeaten and alot of our results has been as a result of individual poor performances ( McClean and Sess )rather than the counter attacking policy we have adopted..I mean for gods sake...MON was right after Sat's match, Vaughan should have put us two up and we did have other chances.
Folks Calm down !!!!!
I think though that to have led in 3 out of 4 games (2 away from home as well) and then failed to win any of them IS a little concerning.
Managers, pundits and such like place so much emphasis on getting that first goal being all important and yet we do it 3 out of 4 times and still cant win. Its completely imaterial at what timw the equaliser came on Saturday, we play too deep and cant possibly defend for 60 mins like its the Alamo and not expect to concede.
With a little more ambition, we could have and maybe should have beaten Swansea after leading twice and West Ham after scoring in the first 10 mins. It would have given us 8 points from 4 games and put us up in the top 8, which is exactly where we want to be.
That would have consitituted a cracking start and really got the ball rolling for the season. As it stands, we have had a moderate start that can still go one way or the other in the next 2 or 3 games, where a must win Wigan game is followed by a mammoth away game at Man City and then the unpredictable derby where tbh, our home results have not blessed us in glory much in the last 40 years. A draw in the derby and a defeat at City are highly likely forecasts and then even if do we beat Wigan, we will only have 8 points from 7 games.
Not a panic by any stretch but a concern that we sit too deep and invite such trouble as last minute goals conceded and it leaves us playing catch up very early in the season when it should have been better.
Not negative - I'm a fully committed MoN fan but surely we can debate the finer points on here without being accused of doom and gloom? We are far away from a doom and gloom scenario.
