we are mid table due to the first 12 games you are deluded if you think this is now a mid table team

Even if you remove the first 12 games (no idea why you would, they count just as much as the last 12 but I'll play along) then we'd still be comfortably mid table.

I think there has to be a middle ground, especially away. Look at tonight, trying to have you centre haves channel their inner Van Djk against a very good Forest side was a calamity.

Though if we can find a way to turn possession and good football into goals we can carry on as we are and accept the odd abberation at the back but I'm not hopeful we'll do that.

No he’s saying we would be comfortable mid table without the first 12 games, proving your point wrong. Stop moving the goalposts.

It's improving what we have though. What's missing is obvious, but it's not that much really. Of course fixing it isn't necessarily easy, especially with no money, but Hamster's improved every season, Bidwell will be more settled, Sheaf could be expected to step up more next season... that's plenty of scope for improvement as we get the experience at this level.

What you posted was factually incorrect.
Now you're arguing against a point that nobody has even made?

Spoiler alert: Whatever happens between now & the end of the season won't change the results that have already gone.

To the usual suspects howling for Robins to make changes as early as HT - how do you think the subs played tonight?

our form is 33 points I think from 28 games - we’ve won 4 at home since those first 12 games. We’ve won what 1 in 8? If this isn’t a slump and we hadn’t had those 12 games and you honestly think we’d be now not staring down the barrel then good for you

We'd be 14th in the last 30 games , I can't find the stats for 28 games

We also have to factor in we've had the u10s on the bench for a month or 2 and haven't even got a fit back line

16th, pretty much bang on mid table which is what he's arguing against (I think, difficult to keep track).

I get the point that a lot of football's about momentum and carry-over but... I'd be worried if the game performances weren't generally pretty good.

I think minus 21 points is a slight hindrance. Our form is on the slide - still I’m sure we will beat stoke and then get told we are progressing from last season

I think there's a difference in sides that look void of ideas , that look poor and are not playing well ..to a side that just lacks a bit of quality but plays good football and is actively improving year on year ... in football there are such fine margins that we could just as easily be 4th right now had we taken our chances In matches .. but that's what we are as a club right now .. nearly men .. but its been good to watch for most of it
