We were always going to have a very very bad patch Get behind the lads and we can bounce back sunday imho Think he was joking… out of those 5, 3 were tough away games, one was home to City.. only a disappointing result against Villa really

Glasgow_Saint Posted 20 December, 2013 Author Posted 20 December, 2013 Fair play to Crystal Palace btw Everton
trousers Posted 20 December, 2013 Posted 20 December, 2013 (edited) Not the best..... Hope we can bounce back Sunday We drew against the top in-form side? Encouraging stuff Edited 20 December, 2013 by trousers
trousers Posted 20 December, 2013 Posted 20 December, 2013 And given these form tables are usually done over 6 games rather than 5, I much prefer this one...

SNSUN Posted 20 December, 2013 Posted 20 December, 2013 I'm going to put £250 on a Spurs win. That way I'll be happy if Saints win and get 3 points, or I'll be compensated financially for a Spurs win. There's no way I can lose...... :-D

lickierambert Posted 20 December, 2013 Posted 20 December, 2013 Lies, damned lies and statistics. The form guide that has us as the 9th best team in the country after 16 games is the most encouraging one
Whitey Grandad Posted 20 December, 2013 Posted 20 December, 2013 Not good, I'll grant you, but more importantly what is the form guide for the next five games?
Glasgow_Saint Posted 20 December, 2013 Author Posted 20 December, 2013 Not good what is the form guide for the next five games? Silver lining....... It cant get much worse
Frank's cousin Posted 20 December, 2013 Posted 20 December, 2013 Lies, damned lies and statistics. The form guide that has us as the 9th best team in the country after 16 games is the most encouraging one Agreed. Anyway, this not really a 'form' guide anyway, more a 'last 6 results table' - we should got a point against the gooners, arguably deserved better against city, and spanked villa in terms of chances,.... Our form despite injuries is actually v good, just been up against better sides and had a couple of games where we did not get the rub of the green..... That is football.
aintforever Posted 20 December, 2013 Posted 20 December, 2013 The form guide is often more about who you play than how you play. We shouldn't be too disappointed with the last few results this just like we shouldn't have got too carried away after our easy start.
Ohio Saint Posted 20 December, 2013 Posted 20 December, 2013 I only look at form charts when we are on form and it makes me happy because they are important......Other times, I stay away from them because they are worthless.

Saint Garrett Posted 20 December, 2013 Posted 20 December, 2013 If we had beaten villa then we would have been saying we're in great form.
Toadhall Saint Posted 20 December, 2013 Posted 20 December, 2013 If we had beaten villa then we would have been saying we're in great form. That result still rankles
The Kraken Posted 20 December, 2013 Posted 20 December, 2013 If we had beaten villa then we would have been saying we're in great form. If we'd have won all of our games we would be top.

Dalek2003 Posted 20 December, 2013 Posted 20 December, 2013 We could really do with a win or else \i see us sliding down the table and into trouble.

Saint_Ash Posted 20 December, 2013 Posted 20 December, 2013 I've been looking for Glasgow's thread of the form guide where we were top.or near as dann it but can't find it! How strange, not like Glasgow to be negative or focus on the bad saints stuff surely?

The Kraken Posted 20 December, 2013 Posted 20 December, 2013 1 poor result from 5. 2 draws, could have sneaked either or maybe lost either, so hard to complain about that. 2 top sides didn't exactly find it easy to beat us and again, these sides will turn you over at their place quite often. Performance is a better indicator of where you're going long term, and even in the poor results saints have shown some ability, dominated against villa and 9 times out of 10 would win that game. Always tough when any team loses their key players with injury but we've coped better than I thought we would. zzzzzzzzzzzzz

Depth looks a little better than I thought a few weeks ago, that's for sure. And a really good addition to the debate by The Kraken, zzzz indeed.
Glasgow_Saint Posted 20 December, 2013 Author Posted 20 December, 2013 Agree, think we have coped a lot better than I thought we would. 2 points from 15! How bad did you suspect?
S-Clarke Posted 20 December, 2013 Posted 20 December, 2013 2 points from 15! How bad did you suspect? But you also need to look at who we've played, and how we've performed in those games. The injuries hit us at a time whereby we played Arsenal, Chelsea, Man City, Newcastle all in quick succession - but performance levels have stayed pretty consistent. Sunday's game will be a good indicator, but in terms of coping - the performances have maintained a decent level, which in the long-term is a good sign that we'll be on track again shortly.
The Kraken Posted 20 December, 2013 Posted 20 December, 2013 (edited) Agree, think we have coped a lot better than I thought we would. Depth looks a little better than I thought a few weeks ago, that's for sure. Yep. 2 points from 5 is definitely better than I thought we could have. Hang on. No. It isn't.

Turkish Posted 20 December, 2013 Posted 20 December, 2013 I see no one has mentioned how we are doing compared to the corresponding fixtures last season for a while. A few weeks back this was hailed as being an excellent benchmark for our progress, why has no one mentioned in the last 5 fixtures we are 5 points worse off?

I mean, it meant something when we were top of the pops after the first few games, but now? Nah, it means nothing. Numbers look bad. It's all a conspiracy. Lawro did it, probably.
shurlock Posted 20 December, 2013 Posted 20 December, 2013 How about the cherrypick to put us in the worst possible light one. Another mongboard house fav. Oh right that's been done.
The Kraken Posted 20 December, 2013 Posted 20 December, 2013 How about the cherrypick to put us in the worst possible light one. Another mongboard house fav. Oh right that's been done. Did you point this out when we were doing really well? Just asking. When we had 6 great results in a row, were you as outspoken in tempering expectations?

More or less - concerned our gameplan doesn't translate as well away from home and we still lack pace which is a mongboard faux pas
