Yamaha or B&H ? ( Bet that confuses most of you )

Here we go, here we go, here we go!!!!!!!

Just remember, because none of us are actually there, we are not allowed to express an opinion on the team's performance

Are we having a half-time thread ?

no !

We are paying THREE hapless dutchmen at the moment, that might cover it.

Straight out for a goal-kick :mad:

20 minutes gone and the thread is already approaching the bottom of the third page, I sense disquiet ! Just got in from shopping, listening to Radio Lancashire - when I parked up it was just 2-0, by the time I'd unloaded the shopping it was 3-0, and they have also hit the woodwork. Does anybody still believe we play well away from home ? This could be embarrassing. :(:(

Agreed; as long as Euell is fit his experience could be the key, and unfortunately we have no viable alternative to DMcG.

Did you see Warnock's comment "As long as he doesn't start thinking he is a footballer he's fine" !

There are two perspectives; one is "we are playing brilliant football, but are incredibly unlucky", the other is "we are OK playing box to box ( where the opposition are quite willing to let us do it ), but are toothless up front and shoddy at the back". Looking at the league table, which do you think is more realistic ?

I will give them the credit for their efforts; regardless of Preston's attitude, the second half performance at Deepdale was at at the opposite end of the spectrum from the first, but people should not get carried away by looking at our away form and thinking that it is all down to how brilliant our football is. When we are 'pasting' other teams, how many saves are their keepers making ? Given the number of games where polls on this site have made Kelvin MoM, how many opposition keepers would have come top in a similar poll on their team performances ?We can have 20 shots a game by midfielders from outside the area, but if none of them are on target it, ( and we ), are pointless.

Derby were at the end of their "we are completely sh1te" phase, Doncaster were the better team but could not score, Preston stopped playing at 2-0 thinking they had done all they needed to, and for some reason Reading did not turn up. What is more important is why have we only won 1 at home.

I hadn't thought of it like that, but it blows the idea about using our esteemed academy right out of the water. It really does look as if we are going for the cheap option, plain and simple. ( Btw : how many of these loans potentially go back in January ? ). At least we will still have Wotton, and have T Pulis to look forward to

Lets hope it continues. Anyway, that's enough for tonight, cheers for the banter ( had my £5 worth this evening ). COYR

Agreed, but to go with the 'ridiculous negative attitude' we do also get the equally galling "playing this way we are CERTAIN to be safe". As Benjamin Franklin said "'In this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes." If you had to pick a team to play for your life, would you pick this one ?

According to JP they weren't motivated.

TBF, H, we did cut it a bit fine.

Did I, sorry.......

To several hundred million people, yes it does.

At least you win tonight's 'positive slant' award. :D Here's hoping we keep our collective nerve, and heads above water.

Which means relying on Watford and Charlton not improving, and not losing any of our better youngsters in January. It isn't enough for Rupes to imply we don't need to sell, if enough of a wedge is waved under his nose he'll bite as quick and as hard as Redknapp does at a stuffed brown envelope. If the current positions are reflected at the final whistle of the last match of the season, that will be a wonderful relief, but we are taking one hell of a gamble in the meantime.

Not EVERY game no, but quite a few of them We were just as sh1te in the first half at Preston, they just stopped playing for the second 45, for which we punished them.

At this rate that will be about 3 weeks then.
