If Only... (1 Viewer)

Went to the game yesterday and thought we played well. We were the better side in the 1st half and crucially at least matched them in the 2nd. Felt we played the better football and deserved to come away with, at the very least, a point. But again it all comes down to goals and if you dont score any you dont win. Though Lukas put in effort again but doesn't have the finishing quality we need. Shows desire and hunger but unfortunately, that isn't enough. If only Marlon King has stayed. Oh how things would be different. Men of the match: Biggie, Clingan and Keogh

If only Geoffrey Robinson wasn't born .... if only Liverpool fans hadn't caused trouble in Europe ... if only we had got Brian Clough ... if only Kevin Kyle could play football ... if only ...... :thinking about:

I wasn't there yesterday... but it's nice to hear something positive. I felt there were positives from Leicester too but unfortunately three losses already is an ingredient for unsettled fans. I'm hoping that we can pick it up and there'll be a few good surprises along the way. In all honesty, a slow start with a pick up as the season goes on will suit me a lot better rather than going full throttle, crashing and burning... which is our usual season. Let's hope we can build and build and start turning these performances into wins.

This isn't our strongest squad of recent years but certainly stronger than some we've seen since relegation. Just out of interest... where are all of those that said they would rather us lose every week and play decent football... you got your wish!!

We'd finish 18th again?

No clearly not. Were playing much better football than last season. Plus Juke is playing with much more confidence and putting in more effort and has got a great 1st touch. Perfect player to assist a goal scorer. ie. Marlon King. We would have picked up points at Leicester and Birmingham if we had Marlon King.

We were 11th before Marlon King started for us, besides, isn't he injured?

The disturbing thing for me, if the stats are correct as published, we had TWO attempts on goal......TWO! How the heck are we going to win any games with that kind of statistic. Seems the only way we're gonna score is to get a penalty. We need a goal scorer, or two.......NOW!

The stats are clearly not correct.
Don't believe all you read comes to mind.

They're not correct, it was 2 on target.

Makes it all a lot better that does.
