We have only started playing well last 3 or 4 games though

Playing well is not conceding twice or more every game

We're not playing them, the system changed a few games back

Yeah I know...which is what I meant.
Not sure about Godden and Walker with the more direct style.

So in that case we are not playing well at all yet still not in relegation zone

Reasons to be happy?

We are already more than a game away from 20th and are barely outside the drop zone. All so needless we should be well clear

And yet he still missed from 3 yards out...

So has O'Hare in recent games.

I never criticise players for getting in scoring positions. Biamou has got in more scoring positions than anyone in the last three games and linked well.

I expected him to be shiped out in the summer but it didnt happen (easier said than done moving players on).

So he is here, he is our player at least until January. We have to try and get something out of him.

He is in the frame for first team /bench on performances so far. There are so called better players who have disapointed more.

We're only not in the relegation zone because of Sheff. Weds point deduction. If current PPG holds for the rest of the season we'd go down.

Why should we be well clear? You just said we are not playing well!!!!

Said it weeks ago Allen is a waste of time for shot down them posters don’t comment on him anymore

Yes he's the reason we keep giving silly goals away

Because the teams we've played have also played very poorly. Your head is in the sand

He’s out of the side for a reason

Grendel · Nov 7, 2020

And if that is the case, (which I don’t think it is) that will be consistent with budgets for players and wages.

It’s like Norwich fans moaning about the prem league last season.

What about Barnsley you simpleton

The results have picked up since then of course

thats the bit I don’t get about MR critism. Allen has had more experience at this level than not subs combined. When MR is getting critised for not put Baka on, if nothin else, it shows the gulf in budgets

Why are you always deluded?

The issue was that he made defensive changes, Allen came on in the last minute and tucked into DM.

Londonccfcfan · Nov 7, 2020

How are we not in bottom 3.

Massive bonus.

Il drink to that. Cheers

SIR ERNIE · Nov 7, 2020

Played 11 games. 8 against teams in the top half, 3 against teams in the bottom half.

Hobo · Nov 7, 2020

Why do fans keep trying to pick out individuals as the fault for losing matches?

Individuals make mistakes all the time. Sometimes you get away with it, sometimes you concede.

We are taking a huge step up with limited resources. We are turning a long slow corner - and our errors have cost us dearly, some very silly. I expected it. But lets not let those silly individual blindsight us from the collective positives.

The margins are fine and if we can tweek a few things we are not far away.

Our opening fixtures have been hard play all the top teams bar Norwich.

This season is about survival and we can still survive.

So do you think we are going down?

Yes or No answer will do fine.

Londonccfcfan · Nov 7, 2020

So who thinks we are going down?

I certainly don't think so.

Might want a few bets on it.

christonabike · Nov 7, 2020

Watched the game, again very disappointed with the result but..
As Ive said its a massive step up and any team finishing 4th from bottom in the first season is a result.
These teams have players £20M and £30M in their squads.
We are scoring goals just giving away silly goals and we will be fine. (Would be very worried if we weren't scoring).
We look to be getting fitter by the week.
Bad luck on injuries but players coming in arent doing too bad.
The last two games showed a better formation that does not see us over run.
I think we will improve and kick on. We have to be realistic this season and be patient. I also know we need to improve very quickly and I think we will and I didnt expect it to be any easier.
Chill out we dont look to be far off the mark and we have a break now to look at the mistakes and get a few players fit again to kick on.
Keep the faith!

Sky Blue Harry H · Nov 7, 2020

I think we'll improve - so no (a fit Dabo would make me confident; if he's out long term I'll be more twitchy)

Excellent post.

junglej13 · Nov 7, 2020

Very frustrating to lose to two poor goals but we played really well against a team who would probably have been favourites to win the league. We are only just getting up to match fitness after the six month break. December is crucial for our season. About eight games all against teams who you would expect to be down there.

The fact is though Barnsley beat them and are looking like a mid table team

Lol this is brilliant. How many excuses you gonna male before you realise I am right?

It doesn't matter how many we score if we let the other side score more. It's astounding you're this confident when we're conceding so many and are barely out of the drop zone-even that is solely because of Wednesday's deduction.

I am confident its not a foregone conclusion and that's all we can ask for this season?? We dont in league 1 or 2 anymore sunshine

No team can be so unlucky and playing well to have mustered two wins and concede far more than any other

We will concede 100 goals if this carries on - how is that Playing well

Dude I've been saying for months I would be delighted with 21st. We are conceding at a frightening rate and that alone makes it so much harder to win games.

They changed the manager didn’t they?

speedie87 · Nov 7, 2020

Anyone know how hard a fixtures teams in around the bottom have had so far?

We have played 6 or top 7 for example and only 2 of bottom 7

Stendel was sacked in early October, Struber didn't arrive till mid November

That's the point. I don't think it will carry on. If we keep playing like last few games will pick up some points soon
