Sith Happens Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Having ended the christmas and new year period with a draw and a defeat it sort of feels like a bad run of form, but you know what if this is a bad run of form i will take it, we are still 3rd in the form table (last 8 games which has had some tough games in it), with some games coming up that you have to fancy our chances we are going to get a decent points haul. I reckon this team is still evolving, we will dip into the transfer market im sure to improve the squad. Here's to a great 2016 for derby fans....happy new year!

Dimmu Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Some might say the team is still gelling. I think our game has been pretty similar all season and this gelling drivel is just a myth. But what you said, evolving, is better word. New transfer window is open and some new faces will arrive. Not worried about the form at all. Win next at home and everyting is fine.

toddy Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 This 'bad run of form' has been around for a long time, even as far back as the Wendy's game. Maybe even before that game, but I don't think of it as a bad run of form, more that we have odd games where we just do not play like a team at the top of the league, the Wendy's game they pressed us and forced our midfield deep and that sort took us out of the game, because we play a certain way. Fulham game we won but were not convincing again, again the Leeds game we got a point because we brought on Martin and Ince, but let's be honest Fulham and Leeds are nowhere near as good as Boro. Yesterday until Paul decided to change it we contained Boro - yes I know Grant made a few good saves to keep us in the game but we never really threatened Boro. I think we need to either play 2 up using Martin or bring in 2 strikers that can run at defenders and forget this target man system we are consistently playing. Some on here are not going to like this , but we are not as good as some think we are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Tibbs Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Why are you so keen to change a system that's seen us lose just 3 times all year? Baffles me. Stick another striker up top and we're sacrificing the good defensive work we've achieved all year. Theres definitely some tweaking to do but I don't think there's a need for wholesale changes.

Phoenix Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Just to show the fine margins by which promotion could be decided, consider this. A blunder/mix-up involving our keeper v Leeds arguably cost us 2 points A blunder/mix-up involving QPR's keeper in injury time gifted Hull two points, all in the space of 24 hours(?) An advantage to Hull of 4 points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's only the 3rd of January. Disastrous to have lost three times already! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ram a lamb a ding dong Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 3 home games in the nexr 4 gives a great opportunity to get back on track. Need 3 wins min to consolidate second. 2 wins and 2 draws also acceptable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
