So then, a flounce.

Yup.

TAKE THAT YOU SLAGS!!!!!

So it’s on again!………..until we concede a goal.

Today showed that we won’t make it in the autos race.

This is not even a melodramatic post. The players don’t have the mentality, fight, passion to do this. Been evident for months.

If this is how they want to perform at home then there’s no chance for the rest of the season.

How on earth will these bunch of players be up for a battle with Boro?

Lampard you’re to blame as well as you’ve persisted with some nonsense tactics, formations even when we started the downward spiral. Don’t use injuries and fatigue as an excuse. You should have tightened us up over the last few months.

If you can’t beat Oxford who are awful at home in a promotion run in you don’t deserve anything. We don’t have any away form.

Too many so called big players picking up a wage for little return. No urgency, passion, creativity… nothing.

We won’t be going up through the autos and we haven’t a hells chance in winning any play off battles.

It’s a shame as this is the once in the blue moon chance to get out of this league. But it’s ending in a worrying style.

Not picking up on this again now to have a go, or to remind how daft it is, but just to show how quicky things change

Three games further on from this post and we are now an incredible five points clear of second and nine points clear of third.

Let's just let this serve as a warning, that if it goes a bit pear-shaped again (still very possible) and we have another bad run, things can change so very quickly.

Keep the faith she keep believing, even when the chips look a little down.

We've just won 3 in a row and it all looks very rosy, but in 3 games time it could all look very different again.

A mental thread with many mental replies tbf. Hopefully its just support until the end of the season now.

Its not revisionism to say that the last 3 results have been fantastic but the results from December to end of Jan were far from great.

Sorry the posts in this thread are mental, especially the original one.

Its not mental to say that form wasn't good enough. End of.

They weren't, but it didn't mean the season had ended and we might not even make the playoffs

Just shows how a couple of positive results can change everything

People at the club get paid to remain level headed... fans are naturally emotional & react... so I have no issues doing it on here.

At the time, I did not agree with the post-match boos... thought it was out of order... but the crowds in the last 3 have shown we're behind them.

I don’t think that's just what many were saying tbh mate but theres enough that were doing that they'll all back each other anyway.

A mental thread with many mental replies tbf. Hopefully its just support until the end of the season now.

Reading the Middlesbrough forum I find it interesting they talk about that run of 6 in a row in the same way we talk about, well, the first half of the season. It seems to me like the league has essentially forgotten that it happened because we had a long run of poor results and there's a big case of recency bias.

Coincidentally if we manage a 6 in a row of our own we're on 77 points with 9 games to play. We could then afford to regress to 1.00 PPG and probably still get over the line.

Yea lampard has turned the poor form around .. football fans get emotional sometimes , we are all glad he has

Yeah, but there's emotional, which is fine and there is mental, which is batshit crazy.

The thread is literally 'its a shame its ended this way...' it was more than emotional football fan ranting.

Well otis we had won 4 matches in 14 and were 17th in the form table over that period and had lost a 13 point lead and fell to 2nd , we were starting to lose our grip on our position .

Its absolutely not that hard to see why fans were getting agitated at all

And that the season had ended?

 

[Sick Boy]

The calls for Lampard to be sacked so we can benefit from a new manager bounce were a highlight.

This. Its the duality of a football supporter.

Only the best supporters can call it good when its good and bad when its bad.

I'd stand behind the logic of every post I made in this thread apart from the ones I made about Onyeka turning our away form around.

They were based purely on a mixture of his profile and wishful thinking, fortunately that wishful thinking seems to have bore fruit!

 

[Evo1883]

No we were struggling to pull ourselves together , we all watched the matches we were shite

 

[Manchester_sky_blue]

The OP was clearly over the top but I think it's in some ways understable because how many of us even remember what proper success feels like? I'm just about old enough to remember 87 but only just and my memories of the prem years are all of relegation dog fights. Our league one winning year was blunted by COVID and our other promotions and cup runs etc have all been overshadowed by off field drama. This season has been the first in a very long time where it looked like on field success and off field shenanigans might actually align and we could get somewhere so when we threw away a 13 point lead it felt really cruel, like the universe was kneeing us in the plums.

Listen despite the play acting of superior thinking in here there isnt a single fan that wasnt starting to worry about us throwing it all away .


We deserve this as a fanbase and like you said it would have been cruel

getting agitated at

the results from December to end of Jan were far from great.

lol

wasn’t good enough…getting agitated…far from great…

an ever so slight softening versus the embarrassment that was on here

 

[Otis]

Well yup, but worried and concerned and agitated, you would have thought would be people saying "I think we may have blown it now", or I don't believe we are going to get promoted this year." Or "this is not good enough."

Saying the season is over when there are FIFTEEN games left, is literally insane

 

[itsabuzzard]

It's the sort of thread that you'd expect to see on the Owls' site, not one belonging to a team that slipped off the top spot by a couple of points, in February.

Overreaction is just what football fans do , alot of invest heavily into this , both emotionally and financially .

We just have to be thankful that at that crossroads we got the result against boro because its changed everything

Well i agree ofcourse its not over i was just trying to maybe shed light on why OP made the statement he made

We mix in different fan circles.

I never overreact. And it was the same for the other four guys I had season tickets with.

Maybe it's a generation thing.

I remember year after year where we seemed certain to go down, but always pulled it out of the bag, so I have always believed in us and our ability to win games, where it looks like we have little chance of winning.

We also have known this season that we DO have very good players here, some who were badly out of form, but form isn't permanent. You can be in form, then have a bad spell, before then having a good spell again.

Even when we were really struggling this season, I could see the ability we had out there and was always confident we could turn it round..

Everyone is different of course, but I never overreact, whatever is happening out there on the pitch.

Yes the fact people can’t see how poor the results were says it all. More bothered about point scoring, suggests a real complex is at play!

Oh no don’t make me go looking at old posts!
