That's how poisoned some people get. They forget that there are moments where you can wipe the slate clean and say, OK, fair enough. If you can't believe a straight up and down bloke like Bertrand then you're in a spot of bother.

Let me think....he's got a better job with more pay. Just guessing.
Or the new owners want their own people in.

Not entirely groundbreaking, but interesting nonetheless. Basically, we generate shots at the rate of a European qualifier, and generate good shots at the rate of a relegation favourite. We're either exceedingly unlucky, or really bad at the bits that matter most (namely, putting the ball in the net and keeping it out).

I rarely read the echo online now because of the remarks. I could just ignore them, but the temptation is too much and I end up ready to top myself after reading the manic depressives there.
Yes can can confirm........certainly in the late 40's and up to the mid/late 50's as far as my memory goes.
Ah Puel's fault he can't finish!
Not just finishing: we aren't working shots in the dangerous areas of the pitch. Combine that with poor overall finishing and you have an awful lot of shots in the stands or the keepers' arms. Only question is whether this is a flaw in our game plan and personnel, or just variance.
I was ever so slightly tongue in cheek....
I think one part possibly overlooked is that we have built a reputation over the last three seasons as a top team. More teams come to stop us, making it harder to find clearer chances.
Possibly.

Pace of attack is my suspected culprit. We fashioned gilt-edged chances last year despite having a reputation as a good scoring team because (when successful, at least) we didn't dither when we got the ball. It would be fun to watch last year's goal reel and then this year's; guessing that the difference in where the shots came from (and the amount of space the shooter had) would be pronounced.
My point exactly....especially early in the season....the manager set the team up and we created lots of chances, but Puel can't put the ball in the net himself. He must have been pulling his hair out. It's those early results (or lack off) that were the most disappointing. Points on the board being everything. We ill have to gird our loins this weekend (unless we get something against Liverpool) we are going down...if only temporarily.Ah Puel's fault he can't finish!
Despite the result good to see Matty and Austin back.

He played really well too, one of our best. Put some great crosses in and defended like he'd never been away. Charlie, on the other hand, is nowhere near fit. Puffing and blowing like he'd smoked 40 ***s in the changing rooms.
Beefy has already said that Austins lifestyle choices are to be desired from a profesional footballer.

The win that took us to the Championship....loved that kit. Great goal from Chamberlain and, wow, wasn't Davis mad about Walsall's goal. Fair scorched the ears of the defence.
