    I repeat none of the bottom 6 at this stage last season got relegated. Stoke and Barnsley had worse PPT ratio than ours, worse GPG ratio than ours and worse goal difference than ours and both stayed up. The 3 relegated teams were 7, 11 and 14 points ahead of them respectively. Stop being a...

    none of the bottom 6 this time last year got relegated and they'd played 14 games at this stage but you carry on being a drama queen.

    Looking at this logically after some sleep

    no ones happy about us getting beat but it's about been realistic. We're playing teams with far greater resource, you have to factor that in when assessing a performance. We can't do to teams in this league what we were doing to teams in L1but it seems that some people expect it.

    for me, we need to go two up top and pick the most physical midfield we can.

    But you keep banging on about how they're showing fight yet we drew with a team above Watford, so is that not a credible draw that showed fight?

    I giver it about two weeks before people on this forum are talking about Wycombe in the same breathe as 80s AC Milan. We drew with Swansea who are above Watford.

    I may be clutching at straws but I'm really hoping the extended break we had is as big a factor as some people are making out and we start to see massive improvement in the coming weeks.

    It is. But I'll bet they'll be other teams performing as badly or only slightly better. Luton and Barnsley didn't get out of trouble until towards the end of the season. Hopefully we can stay in touch and hit a similar vein of form at some point. However I'm a realist, it's going to be tough.

    I agree. Godden up top on his own is not working.

    I'm not saying we will do well but we need to be getting a return from these games if we want to survive. I think we've got to be looking at 5 points

    It would explain basic errors. The man on the ball has less options. The players they can potentially pass to have faster, more athletic players marking them. Watch how many times opposition players get in front of our men to rob the ball. We were too good in comparison to the opposition to let...

    As I keep saying, from 15th down are pretty average, we have to beat those teams - we've played 2 against them got 4 points. As stated in another post we need to sort the attack out. But given.our pool if attacking players it's an uphill task.

    You don't think there was fight there last night? I thought there was. We had our best spell just before they scored and then the heads dropped.

    I think we came into this league with the intention to play a certain way and it's clear Its not going to work. The gulf in class is huge with a lot of the teams we've played. We need to find another way. If we go 2 up top do we get over ran (Even more) in midfield? If we persevere with 1 it...

    In so many words they have. The quality of the players we're up against is no excuse apparently. Fuck me.

    It doesn't matter apparently. We should be able to pass far better more experienced teams off the park because we did it last season against Rochdale and spent 2 million in the summer

    People think we should be able to knock it around against Championship opposition like we did in L1. It's not going to happen unfortunately.
