Dr. Kucho Posted 9 October, 2012 Share Posted 9 October, 2012 After seeing all these negative posts and threads, lets look at the positives of this season so far. For me the positives are: Gazzaniga showing he is a good goalie at a young age. Lambert scoring and giving defenders a hard time in this league Ward-Prowse making the step up to the first team Puncheon showing great form and skill Clyne at right back Schneiderlin being a great PL midfielder.

Sour Mash Posted 9 October, 2012 Share Posted 9 October, 2012 Number 1 should be that after our horrendous fixture set, we are not in the relegation zone. I'm very much in the Pro-Adkins camp, but let's not get too carried away with the "horrendous fixtures" thing - we've had Wigan, Aston Villa and Fulham at home in a batch of 7 games, that's not too bad by Prem standards for picking up points.

syd_barrett_saint Posted 9 October, 2012 Share Posted 9 October, 2012 - Being able to watch every game live on internet streams is fantastic for an overseas fan like myself. - We still have some good players to come into the team/squad who will strengthen us (Lee, Cork, Mayuka, Boruc). - Despite a pretty bad start to the season, there are still 3 worse teams than us!

Alanh Posted 9 October, 2012 Share Posted 9 October, 2012 For me the biggest positive is that we are scoring regulalry and through a variety of players. You can't win games and get points without scoringso you have no chance of staying up if you are having trouble getting goals. I think it's a positive that our key issue (our defending) is readily identifiable. The majority of our new players have shown that they are better than what they have replaced and can do a job in the Prem. Gazza v Bart, J-Rod v Barnard, Yoshida v Jaidi, Clyne v Richardson, Davis v Hammond. Ramirez looks worth what we spent on him. Mayuka looks exciting and will be a valuable addition to the squad We have home grown young players pushing for starting positions against leading established Prem teams and holing their own when they are on the pitch. We do not have the pressure of being in the relegation zone at present We have a run of fixtures coming up which should give us the opportunity to get our first clean sheet. My guess is it will come at home to Swansea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ziggy Posted 9 October, 2012 Share Posted 9 October, 2012 I have moved seats to the Kingsland Northam corner where the atmosphere is much better. The fans at the ground are right behind the team and have given a great ovation at the end regardless of the score. At times our football has been superb.

Miltonroader07 Posted 9 October, 2012 Share Posted 9 October, 2012 It is a great positive that despite obvious issues the fans are still behind the team and mostly behind the manager; we need to really "dig in" as fans and make St Marys a fortress that other teams do not relish playing at as we did at the Dell.

Maggie May Posted 10 October, 2012 Share Posted 10 October, 2012 I'm very much in the Pro-Adkins camp, but let's not get too carried away with the "horrendous fixtures" thing - we've had Wigan, Aston Villa and Fulham at home in a batch of 7 games, that's not too bad by Prem standards for picking up points. Actually, four points out of Wigan, Villa and Fulham is something I would expect at this level and if we keep that up against teams of a similar calibre I would expect a lower mid-table finish comfortably. Let's face it, I would not have thought we would get at least a point out of Man City/United and Arsenal, and our record at Goodison Park has always been awful.

JPTCount Posted 10 October, 2012 Share Posted 10 October, 2012 the biggest positive for me is our very impressive young signings, and our youth prospects coming through or just finally getting to shine at thus level. provided we stay up this year, which I think we will, and replace the dead weight, this squad is destined for great things.
