I think the Watford manager although frustrated with the scoreline will have been very pleased overall. They play like that every week they will win most games (though very poor defending for both of the opening goals).
Grimes and Allen will not be our starting midfield very often this season (touch wood).
That was the Mowbray year and every team he's managed before or since has a post Christmas slump, It's just a fact of life. hahahahaI was at the game when we won 5 nil away Crewe in new years day January 2016.
We had the best goal difference in the league and were arguably the best team, can't quite get the table up. I'm sure we were close to top 3, if not top 2.
The drop off after this was unbelievable.
That day i genuinely believed we would walk the league. Finished 8th. With the one of the best goal differences..
Yeah, that Doumbia's assault on Thomas was worthy of a straight red on it's own, plus all the other late shoves and kicks, espcially on Sakamoto. They were just big lumps and bulliesAt this level you're just not going to play well every game. As punishing as Leeds and Burnley were last season they definitely didn't.
Like you said it's about taking your chances. If you're clinical the rest of the fluff doesn't particularly matter.
We saw the level of frustration we caused Watford because of that. To the point where I'm very surprised they only had the one sending off.
Somebpdy has done this on twitter , the table that doenst include promoted teams since lampard joined , its good form for almost an entire season isnt it ?View attachment 46791
Yes, that's definitely better without the promoted teams.Somebpdy has done this on twitter , the table that doenst include promoted teams since lampard joined , its good form for almost an entire season isnt it ?View attachment 46791
I think thats a reasonable place to sit at right now , the next 10 games for me are on paper pretty tough but thankfully right now with GD we have some buffer
At what point will people believe we can genuinely do it ?
For me its this , Xmas day top 2 coventry city will be promoted
Your greatest post everLet's face it, we could get officially promoted and there would still be a few on here having a wobble about something!
What is probably easier is to say how many more wins would we need from now? Another 20 wins would put us on 88 points, which looks to be the average needed for automatics. That's without factoring in any draws.
12 more games this year, if we can win 8 of them then you've got to say we would be looking very good.
It would leave us needing 12 wins from 22 games. Again, without any draws.
Bookmark this and come back to it later!
Helped by being on a 6 game winning streakSomebpdy has done this on twitter , the table that doenst include promoted teams since lampard joined , its good form for almost an entire season isnt it ?View attachment 46791
Ah sorry , take them off then mateHelped by being on a 6 game winning streak
And any other win in the month of OctoberAh sorry , take them off then mate
No chanceOn the front foot we are (so far) unstoppable. But as well as the anticipated ‘bump in the road’ to negotiate - that may be a longer one than we would have liked, I think somebody at some point is going to hand out a right shellacking to us.
OK. I’ll be honest - I much prefer your version of prediction.No chance
After the Crew game we took 10 points from the next 16 games, this could be termed as a catastrophic collapse. Our only 2 wins in that run were against Bury and Blackpool.I was at the game when we won 5 nil away Crewe in new years day January 2016.

Hmm....I would say top 2 and say 6 or 7 points clear of 3rd, then yesI think thats a reasonable place to sit at right now , the next 10 games for me are on paper pretty tough but thankfully right now with GD we have some buffer

We had Murphy, Armstrong and Maddison, didn’t we? Thought Tudgay and Henderson were a little later/the next season?After the Crew game we took 10 points from the next 16 games, this could be termed as a catastrophic collapse. Our only 2 wins in that run were against Bury and Blackpool.
From memory we were very reliant on Reda Johnson who suffered numerous injuries, and later Ben Turner on Loan who also got a long term injury. We also lost loanee Ryan Kent in January. And as said Armstrong's goals also dried up.
Our other forward choices included Marcus Tudgay, Marc Antoine Fortune and Darius Henderson.
Most of this is from memory with a little help from wiki so some of it may be wrong but it helps explain what went wrong.
Up at 5.30 this morning to do a car boot, I may have gone a little over the top with the flask of level 6 arabica.This is the drink talking.
Was it a sell out though?Up at 5.30 this morning to do a car boot, I may have gone a little over the top with the flask of level 6 arabica.
I think that's a massive assumption.I think thats a reasonable place to sit at right now , the next 10 games for me are on paper pretty tough but thankfully right now with GD we have some buffer

Have faithI think that's a massive assumption.
In all my years of car booting I've never had a 'sell out', wingy.Was it a sell out though?
I’m imagining VAR ruling all of our goals out because Haji is offside!It's no longer possible to watch Premier League football & not imagine Cov City there next season.
Do you think we'll be top 2 Xmas day?I think thats a reasonable place to sit at right now , the next 10 games for me are on paper pretty tough but thankfully right now with GD we have some buffer

Think the first real test has been handling the absence of Rudoni for this length of time.The seven games after Sheff Utd will tell us an awful lot. Probably the toughest run by a long way. First real test tbh.
