On the other hand all the negative threads also remind me of the 2 seasons we got promoted....

This has been my position all along and I hope you're right but I'm worried because I can actually see the quality there already but the mistakes are coming though. That's not what I expected.

In reality as you k ow we've just played most of the top half or what will be come may ... OK we played forest and fucked it up but it can be argued they will also finish much higher than what they are... On average the fixture drop off is huge in terms of the quality of opposition and I can't see us not picking up more points than what we are....


Or were fucked, we look good but as we've discussed mistakes are killing us

It's painful looking at how many more points we should be on

Yeah we've had difficult games first hopefully that means we're well equipped when we play the rest. In reality though either way it puts a lot of pressure on us to pick up results.

What's Pask like at centre back? Can't be much worse than Rose who gets blindsided every game
Click to expand...
He's got to come out, Pask or Dacosta to be given a go. They need to get defending set pieces in training too. That's nothing to do with the level. We can cut that out.

Got to wonder if Robins has been somewhat naive with thinking we could play last season’s formation and tactics in this league.

We need at least 22 points by mid season point to even stand a chance staying up.

Tactic is working

Sheaf has improved a lot. BUT, with his passing, he reminds me of sideways Sammy. Also, after receiving the ball, he takes far too much time holding it, before using it. If Kelly is fit, he should surely play ahead of Sheaf.

Click to expand...

He has got in some of the best scoring positions and set up one of our goals.

At 3-2 I would have kept Biamou and Walker on and threw on Bapaga as a loose cannon attackibg mid.

What a weird takeaway from my post

The point is many many of our fans moan and do not see the big picture

In a match most would have thought we would get battered 4 or 5 nil.

We outplayed them yes we lost.

But there's more than enough in the team to stay up easily. If that's a top 6 team.

1) 2 upfront is a tweak

2)If it counts as a change you shouldn't be moaning about nativity and keeping the tactic the same as last year

Fucking hell I should be a lawyer

Not convinced Walker and Godden could complement each other with it and Biamou most definitely isn’t up to it at this level, which is what I meant...we need to bring in a proper target man who is up to it at this level.

I'm not really interested in budgets.

We are making the problems ourselves. Missing great chances constantly and gifting goals to the opposition will get you relegated. We are not playing professionally at all.

Whilst a lot of the play is competitive, it is becoming a circus. We have to score these chances, and we have to wise up at the back. It isn't like we are being bombarded by the opposition for 90 minutes, we are literally gifting them unforced errors.

Frustrating to say the least.

Not up to it to get us top 6

But we aint in relegation zone yet so they may be good enough to keep us up and then we will improve upon their positions.

I would rather have Walker and Godden up top as I trust them both more to score sitters than Max.
