Need to win that first though.Its possible Bradford would only need to lose 2 games for us to catch them due to the game in hand tomorrow
Why I said possible. At the moment it isn't fact that Bradford need to lose 3 for us to catch them.Need to win that first though.
I think being 8 points behind will be a massive dent to confidence for us and put intense pressure on us too.
That is the reason I am predicting draw.
And I'm just saying it will be after tomorrow night!Why I said possible. At the moment it isn't fact that Bradford need to lose 3 for us to catch them.
Did you see the games last season as compared to this? Standard of football far, far better. This is the first season for a long time where going to games has been a pleasure not a chore. Never mind looking at how things have really been. Let's just re-write history. Pressley was obviously a genius who had us playing like Brazil.
Couldn't agree more, ferret.Last season was terrible, no question and was painful at times. This season hasn't been that much better though, certainly no better than Pressley's full season in charge when the wheels only really came off when key players left. We played decent stuff at times, scoring 74 goals (a tally I doubt we'll reach this time), and yet it was still a shit season.
One win in the last 7 home games in the third division is about as bad as it gets. It stopped being pleasurable a while back.
I cannot see us catching anyone but Gillingham as there form is similar to ours but Rochdale, Barnsley and Bradford are on a decent role. So anyone of them 3 teams and Gillingham will take the spots with millwall and Walsall.
As for tomorrow id not play the kids just yet, tomorrow is do or die. A win and slim hopes are still there. After all football is a funny old game.
I predict a loss tho as Colchester have shown plenty of fight recently and goals too. We are a little toothless at the minute and will gift a goal from a set piece as per..... Unless he drops Ricketts.
At the moment picking Ricketts is like starting the game from a nil-one position.I cannot see us catching anyone but Gillingham as there form is similar to ours but Rochdale, Barnsley and Bradford are on a decent role.

What's it got to do with SISU? Did I miss something?Can't argue with that......
But in TM we trust.
Thank you Sisu for giving us hope and then kicking us in the balls yet again some things never change.
Is it Sisu's fault though that we didn't change tactics after teams started to nullify us?Can't argue with that......

Cost us more than rcc in my honest opinion...... More than Phillips and rcc combined.Damn that Ricketts cost us all those points
This is their legacy.What's it got to do with SISU? Did I miss something?
Yes to all of the aboveIs it Sisu's fault though that we didn't change tactics after teams started to nullify us?
Is it Sisu's fault we signed Hunt and Henderson, especially Hunt who is a wasted wage?
Is it Sisu's fault that this same thing has happened to Mowbray before with his teams sliding out of play-off positions?
Is it Sisu's fault we signed Joe Cole?
Is it Sisu's fault we play the ball out from the back even when teams are pressing us very high up the pitch and closing us down?
Is it Sisu's fault we seemingly have little variation in the way we play?

Ricketts has been poor for last 3 months minimum.

Then they brought in the wrong manager.Yes to all of the above
Its possible Bradford would only need to lose 2 games for us to catch them due to the game in hand tomorrow
Managed by Andy Thorn?Bradford are my tip to win the play offs. However I always had us as playing them in the final!!!
I actually agree with you to a degree there but also feel rcc is a good keeper in the making in this league.Like you said your opinion.
I feel a more experienced keeper would have solved many of our faults.
Not for me. Lots of performances have been good without getting the results we deserve red. Chesterfield, Walsall, Shrewsbury and Posh immediately come to mind. Crewe and Bury obviously.It was a pleasure not a chore until Christmas. Since Christmas it has very much been a chore.
Been quite dismal apart from those two great wins. Besides that it has been rather grim and depressing. Always is when you keep losing every week.
Against Walsall we played okay for about 45 mins. Second half was all Walsall and we were pretty much pinned back and trying to protect our 1-0 lead.Not for me. Lots of performances have been good without getting the results we deserve red. Chesterfield, Walsall, Shrewsbury and Posh immediately come to mind. Crewe and Bury obviously.
No, he's just being a wum. Fishing for bites as per usual.Then they brought in the wrong manager.
I take it you don't rate Mowbray at all then?
Again, all about opinions. We had a good 15 minute spell in second half against Walsall. Missed 2 good chances to seal the win before Walsall came back. Disagree with Posh game. Felt we were the better team in both halves. Even in the second half More shots on goal, more chances, more saves( obviously only standard expected saves) by their keeper. Last ten minutes perhaps we ran out of steam. Let's just be totally negative, everything is crap and there is no hope.Against Walsall we played okay for about 45 mins.

Peterborough we played well for one half.
I really appreciate TM's honesty.Again, all about opinions. We had a good 15 minute spell in second half against Walsall. Missed 2 good chances to seal the win before Walsall came back.

Off the pitch things are still pretty desperate. However I am the most optomistit on the playing side since Championship relegation. Seems if you don't see that the glass is half empty then you are a delusional fool. I am looking forward to the game tomorrow. As always this season I think we will play well and I think we will win. As you have said many times TM says it as it is. Poor and win, poor and lose I am sure he will be honest. That's what I would do to. Not just be negative for the sake of it.
How can you say that biggest mistake is goalkeeper?Mowbrays biggest mistake for me is not seeing the position of goalkeeper as an important position.
Lesser mistakes are
Hunt, MAF, Ramage.
JOB.
I compare that to Signing Armstrong, Kent, Murphy, Turner, Cole, Jones. Vince.
Making our style of football attacking free flowing.
His honesty saying it as it is.
I prefer the positives over the negatives our time will come I still see the season as massive progression
Did you see the games last season as compared to this? .
Yeah, well that's it I think. Too much retrospective thinking.I have. And the way we're going, we're going to end the season not much further ahead than last season.
Progress? Don't let the first 3 months of the season tint your glasses too much...
