Dalek2003 Posted 30 December, 2011 Posted 30 December, 2011 As predicted. I said they'd nick it 1-0. You'll get a load of abuse for even suggesting it.
Turkish Posted 30 December, 2011 Posted 30 December, 2011 My prediction of 17th doesn't look so stupid if you look at our form in the last 6. This will be confirmed by our lack of strengthening in the Jan window. Still as I have said many times before, the objective has been consolidation this year. If only a season lasted 6 games in December you'd be top of the prediction league.
Red Alert Posted 30 December, 2011 Posted 30 December, 2011 Perhaps a loss today will just give Adkins that extra little bit of doubt in the current squad. This may well be the catalyst for a couple of signings in the new year. Maybe...
Dalek2003 Posted 30 December, 2011 Posted 30 December, 2011 Because he's just like you Alpine: can't actually enjoy the ride when things are going well and instead continually moans so that when it does inevitably go wrong he can say "see, I told you so!" The ride was great but I never looked forward to falling off !
DT Posted 30 December, 2011 Posted 30 December, 2011 A barmaid will end up in a Christmas tree in north Baddesley tonight.
alpine_saint Posted 30 December, 2011 Posted 30 December, 2011 My prediction of 17th doesn't look so stupid if you look at our form in the last 6. This will be confirmed by our lack of strengthening in the Jan window. Still as I have said many times before, the objective has been consolidation this year. Well, imho it will a long, long time before we get such a good opportunity to secure promotion to the PL again, maybe even longer than NC and the Liebherrs are willing to give this project.
ericofarabia Posted 30 December, 2011 Posted 30 December, 2011 Guly shoots wide. 6 subs .... 3 mins added time at least.
Dalek2003 Posted 30 December, 2011 Posted 30 December, 2011 If only a season lasted 6 games in December you'd be top of the prediction league. Well if the next five months are like December my prediction will be more accurate than most who predicted top 2 or champions !
Sheaf Saint Posted 30 December, 2011 Posted 30 December, 2011 My prediction of 17th doesn't look so stupid if you look at our form in the last 6. This will be confirmed by our lack of strengthening in the Jan window. Still as I have said many times before, the objective has been consolidation this year. Can you give me next week's winning lottery numbers please?
Turkish Posted 30 December, 2011 Posted 30 December, 2011 Well, imho it will a long, long time before we get such a good opportunity to secure promotion to the PL again, maybe even longer than NC and the Liebherrs are willing to give this project. I quite agree, it's in our hands.
Cestrian Saint Posted 30 December, 2011 Posted 30 December, 2011 When we don't go up at the end of the season people will look back & say, 'If only we'd not lost those 2 games to Bristol City'.
SuperMikey Posted 30 December, 2011 Posted 30 December, 2011 I'll be really p!ssed off if we lose tonight, not only will we fall at the last hurdle for our unbeaten league run but we've had so many chances to score. Need to be so much more incisive - we create 6 or 7 good chances a game but struggle to put them away. 5 mins added time! COYR!!!
Ohio Saint Posted 30 December, 2011 Posted 30 December, 2011 Well, imho it will a long, long time before we get such a good opportunity to secure promotion to the PL again, maybe even longer than NC and the Liebherrs are willing to give this project. Bloody hell! Now we are stuck in this division for years!!! LOL
alpine_saint Posted 30 December, 2011 Posted 30 December, 2011 Perhaps a loss today will just give Adkins that extra little bit of doubt in the current squad. This may well be the catalyst for a couple of signings in the new year. Maybe... With all due respect, looking at our treatment table the past few months, if the doubts arent already there, they never will be.
Window Cleaner Posted 30 December, 2011 Posted 30 December, 2011 Guly shoots wide. 6 subs .... 3 mins added time at least. Doesn't matter how much time is added on, don't think we'll score...James the bogey man will see to that.
Micky Posted 30 December, 2011 Posted 30 December, 2011 Perhaps a loss today will just give Adkins that extra little bit of doubt in the current squad. This may well be the catalyst for a couple of signings in the new year. Maybe... Might also be the catalyst for a complete collapse as well - we have missed too many good chances to extend our lead recently. West Ham will go above us soon, probably followed by Boro - then we will see how good we are at 'catch up'.
Dalek2003 Posted 30 December, 2011 Posted 30 December, 2011 Well, imho it will a long, long time before we get such a good opportunity to secure promotion to the PL again, maybe even longer than NC and the Liebherrs are willing to give this project. Agreed. That is the scenario that scares me the most.
Turkish Posted 30 December, 2011 Posted 30 December, 2011 Well if the next five months are like December my prediction will be more accurate than most who predicted top 2 or champions ! And if they are like August - December we'll be champions. Did anyone predict top two? I thought most said upper midtable would be a great achievement.
Baj Posted 30 December, 2011 Posted 30 December, 2011 Holy ****ing ****, were top of the league and losing a game at home, where can I slit my wrists?!?!??
Monk Posted 30 December, 2011 Posted 30 December, 2011 oh FFS that's it, Adkins out!!! No clue, we've all been saying this was coming.
dan17 Posted 30 December, 2011 Posted 30 December, 2011 A barmaid will end up in a Christmas tree in north Baddesley tonight. I am so annoyed at the moment - but thanks for making me laugh!!
Cestrian Saint Posted 30 December, 2011 Posted 30 December, 2011 Will people now accept that we won't go up?
ericofarabia Posted 30 December, 2011 Posted 30 December, 2011 Daves got his stopwatch on 30328 crowd why were taters only saying 27000?
Edmonton Saint Posted 30 December, 2011 Posted 30 December, 2011 Why is that when we are winning 1-0 teams seem to throw the kitchen sink at us in the last few minutes and create chance after chance, yet when we are losing 1-0..absolutely nothing.
Monk Posted 30 December, 2011 Posted 30 December, 2011 Holy ****ing ****, were top of the league and losing a game at home, where can I slit my wrists?!?!?? Bath tub mate, bit of REM on the iPod, press play before you cut!
Window Cleaner Posted 30 December, 2011 Posted 30 December, 2011 Will people now accept that we won't go up? Nope can't do that.
Leicestersaint Posted 30 December, 2011 Posted 30 December, 2011 It seems like we started with a hangover tonight.
alpine_saint Posted 30 December, 2011 Posted 30 December, 2011 Might also be the catalyst for a complete collapse as well - we have missed too many good chances to extend our lead recently. West Ham will go above us soon, probably followed by Boro - then we will see how good we are at 'catch up'. Yep, this title race should be over bar the shouting by now. We beat all the big teams and lost to the likes of Bristol City and Doncaster.
ericofarabia Posted 30 December, 2011 Posted 30 December, 2011 Poor delivery from SDR when a class cross was needed.
edprice1984 Posted 30 December, 2011 Posted 30 December, 2011 I know internet forums aren't the place for sane, reasonable comments but for F***'s sake! We will be top going into 2012, yes our form in December has been poor, but we are now able to invest in the transfer window. Probably bringing in Maynard and one other to sure-up the defence. A defeat to Bristol City is not good and the performance was poor, but I trust NA to change things and get the performances back up to the level we know they can be!
Sheaf Saint Posted 30 December, 2011 Posted 30 December, 2011 Will people now accept that we won't go up? No, not until it's mathematically impossible. In case you didn't realise we will still have a 3-point cushion at the top after this result. Some people are just unbelievable, but then I guess given our recent history it isn't that surprising.
Dalek2003 Posted 30 December, 2011 Posted 30 December, 2011 And if they are like August - December we'll be champions. Did anyone predict top two? I thought most said upper midtable would be a great achievement. Watch out for people muddying the waters and revising their predisvtions downwards and then claimning this was always their prediction. I stuck my colours to the mast and am not afraid to let people know.
Saint Troy Posted 30 December, 2011 Posted 30 December, 2011 Next game can we have two mtch threads, one with and one without dalek and alpine. Opinion is fine but f&£k me it's more depressing than losing just reading this! Still top and never gonna win every game - Adkins has said people will come in and no reason we won't go up top two, chill
Sheaf Saint Posted 30 December, 2011 Posted 30 December, 2011 Yep, this title race should be over bar the shouting by now. Why should it?
alpine_saint Posted 30 December, 2011 Posted 30 December, 2011 Will people now accept that we won't go up? I want to see how we play the transfer window before drawing that conclusion. But we need some major reinforcement, not some garnishing....
dan17 Posted 30 December, 2011 Posted 30 December, 2011 Fecking annoyed, but we have enjoyed a fantastic year!!!
Micky Posted 30 December, 2011 Posted 30 December, 2011 I fear that at the end of the season, some might look back at both Bristols and say thats where we lost it. Many men have.
ericofarabia Posted 30 December, 2011 Posted 30 December, 2011 What a crock ... and I had to do it sober as well FFS. Grrrrr.....
Ohio Saint Posted 30 December, 2011 Posted 30 December, 2011 How can you book players for time wasing, but not add on the time they wasted?
alpine_saint Posted 30 December, 2011 Posted 30 December, 2011 Fecking annoyed, but we have enjoyed a fantastic year!!! Typical of Saints to take the gloss off it at the very end.
Dr Who? Posted 30 December, 2011 Posted 30 December, 2011 God we are doing much better than expected, and yes there seems to be a problem at the moment.... Not scoring at home!!!!??
Dalek2003 Posted 30 December, 2011 Posted 30 December, 2011 Will people now accept that we won't go up? Have been saying it since August. Our squad was not strengthened enough for auto promotion, but did we ever plan for it in the first place ?
SaintBobby Posted 30 December, 2011 Posted 30 December, 2011 annoying, but we will almost certainly be top heading into the New year. bad day at the office, but no need to panic.
dan17 Posted 30 December, 2011 Posted 30 December, 2011 Had to lose sometime I guess....Onwards and upwards..Need investment if we are really serious about promotion.
Window Cleaner Posted 30 December, 2011 Posted 30 December, 2011 Jose was missing when we lost at home to Brentford as well.
Dalek2003 Posted 30 December, 2011 Posted 30 December, 2011 Fecking annoyed, but we have enjoyed a fantastic year!!! True, and I hope that people will keep this in mind if we do finish mid table at the end of the season.
