Well that was absolute crap-back to the dismal days of August/September.It's a shame because we've really missed a couple of chances to push on recently- I don't hold with this "yeah but aren't we doing so well to get in the playoffs".
Weighty i think many said playoffs at least, i know i said it had to be playoffs for it to be a natural progression and if not then the season was a failure!!
Hope you have had a safe trip back to these parts Warky. I have been a total fan of MM, but today things didnt go according to plan...plan? was there one, a Plan B? I am sure its just a blip, but a bloody big blip. and we need to get back to winning ways as soon as. And I said top 6......which is where we will be! Am pretty ok with that.
Annoying thing is scog, with a tad more nous/adventure/ i think we would be top, poor team selection/tactics have cost us recently imo!!
Displays like that make me get soooo frustrated with Mick, sometimes I think he's a bit self fulfilling in what he says and how he sets his teams up. Whilst he's a really good championship manager that errring on the side of caution stops him from being a top manager which he has the potential to be. I have no problem grinding results out, you need to sometimes, if you're not at your best, grind it out but sometimes under Mick it looks like that is our Plan A not Plan B Whilst our defence has come on leaps and bounds and our strikers given their ability looks to have improved a great deal under the coach of MM and TC, we really need to look at the midfield and being in possession. IMO the midfield is the most important area, I guess that's from being brought up in the Burely era, if you have a good midfield it takes a lot of pressure off the other areas. Saying all this it is certainly not the end of the world, we're only 3 points off top, whilst the 3 above are far better than us in terms of quality if we stay within touching distance they will have a few blips on the way and we're not likely to go on that bad a run of form, unless this is it which I'll take if we're only 3 points behind the leaders. Looking at the team we have, I still have no clue how we are where we are in the league. Under Mick I seem to be quite positive until I watch or listen to a game then I get really frustrated because it's just usually such a slog but that's what I guess comes with the package.
