Match Day Thread Swansea v Hull City

Last 4 games of the last relegation, plus the League Cup tie against Sunderland last September.

 

We should have all chucked the towel in and stopped supporting the club eh? Could have blamed everyone then, owners, manager, players, coaches, tactics, etc etc

 

That might have happened with league and Cup games but for just league games which is what the run is in now the last one I am aware of is the one I mentioned in 1980/1981 season.

 

All under GM

 

Can you imagine how great it would be at City with 15,000 over the top positive fans backing the team?

 

Make it 25,000 and it would be like being at Carrow Road.

 

You seem pissed of all the time.

 

Give over.

It's like a big Antiques Roadshow gathering there, **** kit, **** goal music, **** ground. You name it, it's bland as ****.

 

I am normally pissed when they cal

It is full and has been every game with all season passes sold out for 15 years. If only we could manage that. And they have a whole end behind the goal stood up not just a section and a half. You think the MKM is some seething, vibrant cauldron?

 

The occasional goal might help

 

I am pissed, and pissed off, when they call time.

 

Yes, must be awful having a full stadium, week in week out.

 

I know that feeling all to well.

 

It's all about context. A point after being pinned in our half for 90 minutes is very welcome. Was the performance good? No, not really and Grant did allude to that and you could see on the touchline he wasn't happy. It was dire, but there'll be more of those to come and worse. I think Sheffield United will give us a going over, but we have to take it in stride because we're a promoted side, something we aren't really used to being at this level.

Our side is very young, united and wants to achieve. It looks like it will have enough, but there needs to be the same synergy there was last season otherwise it all goes to **** very quickly.

I thought Smith was unfortunate to miss out, he looked lively against Bournemouth and again off the bench, Magennis looked tired and not ready for the match. Some rotation might be needed for Blackburn.

Get used to some crap performances, but there'll be better ones as the season goes on. Preston wasn't a fluke, we've just played better sides than them since (maybe excluding Derby, but that was an example of an aforementioned crap performance).

 

League games only:

23/12/2000 to 16/1/2001 under Brian Little
26/4/1997 to 23/8/1997 last 2 Dolan games and first three Hateley games
11/10/1980 to 28/10/1980 under Mike Smith
19/3/1925 to 4/4/1925 under Bill McCracken
13/11/1920 to 18/12/1920 (six goalless league matches) under David Menzies the first time

C'est tout.

 

According to our esteemed local paper it is the worst run since 1920. They never fail to surprise, do they? Not counting the 1997 one as the same as it was 2 different managers in two seasons.
Was Little just league games or did that include a Cup game? Couldn't remember 5 on the trot in the league under him.

 

The first line of my previous post answers your question.

 

As Fiona Bruce once said. 'It's worth absolutely £uck all'

 

We've soon turned against our team. We are about 65% match fit as a team. Lets get behind them. As McCann says they will improve. I think McCann himself is stronger this time and knows what he wants. Not many tickets sold for blackburn ,who else is going.
