Alph Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 This was reaction when we was winning: "We need Buxton back in the team" Well he's back were conceding sloppy goals and losing. We've dropped 5 places and he's only been back a week! Probably doesn't help when Butland pushes a simple save back towards attackers or Keogh, Mascarell and Forsyth don't play opposition forwards in for 1v1's or Mascarell doesn't let players run 35 yards etc etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uttoxram75 Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Nish should have timed his lob better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Small and slow is the worst combination for a defender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albert Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 They tend to come in pairs:1. We lost a couple of games, why isn't [manager] playing [player] in a new position! Clueless!2. Why is [manager] playing [player] out of position?! Clueless1. Why isn't [manager] trying a different formation?2. Why is [manager] tinkering all the time?!1. We need to drop [player], he's clearly out of touch!2. Why did [manager] drop [player]? Terrible decision, we need him so we can find form again!!!1. We're having a bad time, why doesn't [manager] give some youngsters a go?2. Why did [manager] throw these youngsters in the deep end, they're clearly not ready, and now on a losing run isn't the time!etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Mills Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Just out of curiosity who do we beat if don't beat mid table teams? Think you need to read again... you just can't EXPECT to beat them AWAY. You can expect to beat them at home and draws away are fine, as are losses in moderation.

Thorne Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Think you need to read again... you just can't EXPECT to beat them AWAY. You can expect to beat them at home and draws away are fine, as are losses in moderation. But we haven't beaten Cardiff, Millwall, Wigan, Ipswich at home..... That's a negative view too. We should be approaching every game as being winnable. There's a reason we are favourites for the title, we have the best squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should be approaching every game as being winnable. There's a reason we are favourites for the title, we have the best squad. I think the league is much closer than you actually think it is. We should have beat them at home and people are fine to complain about not winning those, but you just can't expect to beat all these teams away from home whether you're favourites or not. Don't forget this is a league where half the league are potentially promotion candidates, not just a select few. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't forget this is a league where half the league are potentially promotion candidates, not just a select few. We beat teams like QPR away last season as well as the average teams. In fact we had the best away record. There's no reason we can't repeat that this season. I don't think the league is tougher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albert Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Just out of curiosity who do we beat if don't beat mid table teams?A larger fraction than 22 other clubs in the league, doesn't matter what that fraction includes.For example, these teams that were Automatically promoted in the last two seasons:Leicester in 2013/14 lost to Doncaster (Away, 22nd), Charlton (Away, 18th), Sheffield Wednesday (Away, 16th) and Forest (Home, 11th)Burnley in 2013/14 lost to Huddersfield (Away, 17th) and Middlesbrough (Home and Away, 12th)Cardiff in 2012/13 lost to Bristol City (Away, 24th), Peterborough (Home and Away, 22nd) and Middlesbrough (Away, 16th)Hull in 2012/13 lost to Wolves (Away, 23rd), Peterborough (Home, 22nd), Barnsley (Away, 21st), Sheffield Wednesday (Home, 18th), Blackburn (Away, 17th), Middlesbrough (Away, 16th), Blackpool (Home, 15th) and Burnley (Home, 11th)Carefully note that automatically promoted sides can and do lose to mid table, and even relegated sides. My particular favourite is the 2012/13 Champions Cardiff losing the double to Peterborough who were ultimately relegated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
