3 points off the play offs 4 points of 2nd 7 points of top We were never going to win the league today On paper we still have the biggest squad and arguably the best in the division? 13 played 33 to go Money to spend if needed in Jan. Quickly how we have forgotten Forest away first 70 mins before the ref involved himself, Derby home, first half against Watford. Holding Boro away when they were at the top, beating Saints when they were at the top, beating Brighton when they were on top, and also not conceding at Cardiff. When we are good no one in this league can live with us, but as today when we are bad we are awful, we need to just get that consistency and confidence to go out and play as we did at Forest, that is the best football I have seen in this division for a long while. Be patient,it will come and when that consistency does we will be up there. Keep the Faith
I hate to agree with this guy but he's summed it up pretty well I'm afraid. If we're honest, it's very difficult to invisage how we are going to improve to the standard necessary. You mention some good displays but I coud easily name as many and in fact more bad ones so far, ones which people have swept under the carpet to defend Sven. And BTW holding Boro and not conceding at Cardiff is nothing to shout about, Cardiff were poor and so were we, they weren't awful results but not particularly good either.
In 46 games we will have bad displays, every club will, as long as we keep close to the pack as we are doing the buisiness end will be where it is at(March-May) Last two season away at Cardiff have been losses so a goaless draw is a bonus, Boro away is never easy so to go there and not conceded wehn they were up top then I consider that a bonus, in no way am I defending Sven, but I am looking at the bigger picture 3 points off the play offs 4 points of 2nd 7 points of top Still learning together, still looking for that comfortable system and settled side but still in with a shout.
In comparison to other places why? OK they have a decent side at the moment but they have a half empty stadium. It's hardly a cauldron of noise. Anyway I'm being picky there because that's not really the point, the point is that we are inconsistent at best in our performances. If you are playing well on the whole you can be hopeful that results will follow but we aren't showing much promise at all. For me that is the bigger picture, the league table and points tally is the short-sighted thing.
Well our next home game is Leeds and i cant wait to shut them up. It has a 1-0 Leicester win written all over it with Kasper playing a blinder and Beckford getting the winner
Then you woke up ya muppet. You've no width, you have a **** manager, you have no decent defensive midfielders! Clayton will have a field day in your midfield!
Lloyd Dyer, like your optimism but get those Rose tinted glasses off! We almost as near to the bottom 3 as we are to the top, and with 2 away games coming up and our away tosh we could be nearer the bottom than the top in 2 games, I hope not but who knows! Our Thai owners aren't daft and am sure they are starting to have serious concerns about Sven.
What about our display today? Yes, you might not have turned up today, but we played a massive part. You under estimated us and got punished.
**** manager if you like. Who's Clayton? Have you still got them same **** defenders, David Nugent is going to destroy them
