OldNick Posted 5 January, 2013 Share Posted 5 January, 2013 I doubt there was any real expectation to go thought today.. I suspect the players know that the league is paramount. And when we were losing their minds were on next week. I am content with the result and rather that than a draw. Ok not 5-1 but a draw would use up energy we don't want to lose.

Drawing away at Stoke when 3-1 up, managing a draw against Fulham who were woeful on the day due to crap keeping by Kelvin and not seeing off Arsenal when they were probably the poorest they had been all season. So yes excuse me If I don't see that as progress. 3 draws is equivalent to ONE win, I wish Adkins would show some more guts and not be satisfied with mediocrity.

Why did'nt we sign one agaes ago when its obvious what we needed, I said a Hurlock kind of player and the 18 year old hairdressers laugh saying we did not need that kind of player, they obviously have not seen him play. We will get into Europe via the fair play League so this is a cunning plan by the tanned one and Nicky........................... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think its only a matter of time before Di Matteo replaces him anyway...will he do any better with this lot ...not a chance. Until we have a decent spine we will continue to flatter and struggle.

This is fast becoming a 'would', 'should' and 'could' season - we are just throwing far too many points away. Too soft, players not good enough for this league, not enough savvy - and as somebody else pointed out, not buying experienced premiership players. Don't get me wrong - I don't particularly mind getting relegated, that's what I saw at the start of the season and up to now I see nothing that really changes my opinion, but those people like Dalek who think we will become a yo yo club - you are wrong - we will only yo.

NickG Posted 5 January, 2013 Share Posted 5 January, 2013 Every single transfer window NC and NA have moved this club up. Since we signed Ramirez and Yoshida we have not performed as relegation side. Likes of Alpine and Dell days insisted we would so totally adrift by this window if NA wasn't sacked. Instead his management and signings have got us out, just, of bottom three. Its time alpine learnt everyone of his predictions is wrong. Its time that he learnt the basics of football transfer windows and acknowledge no-one has been as successful over the last few. Still this man shows his low intelligence, insight and lack of recognition of the clubs achievements thinking its gone wrong again...when did it go wrong? Whenever threads, like the one him and DD's predicted no points and we did well, or Morgan one where usual drama queens were talking about their conspiracy theories, they moan its gloating and petty...don't moan...learn!!!
