I believe we have got the consistency with our results to gain promotion.
Ok, so we just lost two games, but we are not going to win all of them, and neither is any other team.
If you look at our results since Robins came in, then that points to promotion form.
The only reason we are not in the top six now, is because of the start to the season that we had before Robins came in.
We are imo good enough to get out of this league now, but we was always going to need some of the other teams to slip up for us to get into the top six because we were so far behind.
Which has been my argument since MR came in. He was left with so much to do to turn things round. We were so far behind and it took a really good run just to get us with 6 points of the play-offs.
After that point it is all about sustainability and it is a massive ask for the team to sustain that level of form for the rest of the entire season.
Stats tell you that we will need over 70 points to make 6th place.
At the moment we have 37 points. There's 19 games left. To get to 71 points we need a further 34 points. That would equate to 10 wins 4 draws and 5 defeats. Or 9 wins, 7 draws and just 3 defeats.
As I say, a massive ask. Key to achieving this will be a vast improvement in home form, which has been very, very poor.
I'm not having a go here, but.....One minute we beat (At the time top of the league) Doncaster 4-1 away, Then arguably one of the best teams in this league, MK Dons away, yet Shrewsbury, and Carlisle, both well below halfway in the league, do the double over us, with the possibility of Tranmere making it a "Hat trick" of teams to do it!...No, I'm sorry, that (To me) isn't consistency. :facepalm:
of course we are ready, bar right back position we are ready
that problem permission has had a blind eye turned to it by some fns but they are now realising too
get a loanee in and we will be good for another long run
@ Otis..
With the exceptions of MK Dons, Doncaster, Tranmere, Notts County, Crawley, and Sheff Utd...All the rest rest of 'em are Physical "Cloggers"....We are still not good enough to rely solely on the "Passing game" We need another Doyler, Wise, type of player in the middle of the park, and to me, LC (For all his enthusiasm) isn't technically strong enough to play up on his own(McG is a master of this system ie- he scored loads of goals)...McSheff/Elliot needs to be played alongside of LC to bring out the best in him. My opinion of course.
So what you are saying is, that our defence would suddenly stop conceding goals if we get a new RB!? Are you serious? It's more fundamental than that and not all of our goals come from the right. I would've thought your 'superior' knowledge would know this.
dont try to start an argument, u made yourself look silly enough ont hursday in the end,backing clarke to the hilt and look what happened
the majority of people on this forum agree RB is a weak point in the team,so yes replacing with a new RB will make the defence and in turn the team stronger.
stop fighting me,you know im right
SB Taylor...
4-4-2, as we have seen, or for some, should have seen, is that when we play 4-4-2, we struggle to make quality chances and we end up bypassing the CMs and not favouring our usual style
Why so aggressive with every one of your posts?....At least, that's how you come across to me!
"4-4-2, as we have seen, or for some, should have seen,"..............Who is this aimed at?
And what...exactly is our usual style?......No team should have a "Usual style" They should adapt to conditions, opposition, and our Strengths/disadvantages on any given day.....Remember AT failed because he didn't have a clue When, or how to change a system, make substitutions. He always tried to play "The passing game" sometimes this doesn't work! Preston on thursday being a prime example.
im not blaming clarke alone, where have i said that?
see this is the problem, people are jumping on my back for no reason,i have never said its all clarkes fault,what i am saying is that i feel both our RB are not good enough right now,maybe in the future but not now
carlisle got 1 goal,due to clarke,had it it been 0-0 we would still have a point,it doesnt always work like that i know but we cant absolve him of any blame either
i agree that our defence isnt the most solid, edje can get caught out and wood always has a mistake in him,but overall they have been solid enough,adams sparked a winning run, his importance cannot be underestimated, if we have an equally adept right back the whole team will benefit
christie and clarke can be given another run later in the season or next year,im not saying sell them
Aggressive? How!?
Aimed to...? People who think we should play 4-4fecking2 (thought I throw a bit of Mike Bassett in there!)
Everyone has their usual style, and of course we adapt to given problems e.g. PNE.
Because you believe 4-5-1 is the best system, it doesn't matter what others think eh?
PS....Benson and Hedges were not available:facepalm:
i have thought about it,dont get aggressive like the other poster suggested
we do not have 2 decent RB's for the division this year, you think they are good enough and it seems nothing will change yuor mind
what have wood and edje done so wrong that makes you want to change them over 2 right abcks that have messed up in recent weeks?
it seems if you are young and from cov you have a free pass with you, football doesnt work like that kid,no room for sentiment.
clarke is not tall or strong enough to make it as a defender
christie does not have the decision making to make it........just yet
like i said in the future perhaps but i feel we need a right back if we want to win 13 from our last 19 matches
