Cardiff recently went 8 straight wins, Wolves had 7 straight wins a while back. Also Villa had 7 wins on the bounce at the turn of the year. Can we do it. The best we have this season was 5 wins on the bounce. It would it be best to just plod along getting the odd defeat and draws, win the rest and remain in the play off place after the Barnsley home match. Then go out and win 3 on the bounce.

If only it worked like that.. Let's hope it's not Burtons turn to win 5 on the bounce. :blink:

Surely we would never have got into this position if we were as bad as recent performances suggest.

Hope Monday is the first step in becoming a solid defensive unit with clinical counter attacks again

You make your own form. Under McClaren we had winning runs due to positive intent. I cannot see it at the moment with us not creating chances. 

Yawn. Change the record. Football in this division has changed remarkably since 2014. McClaren said so in 2016/17.

Secondly Cardiff are now on their way up thanks to a string of 1-0s with the occsional 2-1 thanks to goals in all different ways, often set piece headers or goal mouth strambles. They achieve this with a never say die attitude by being commited all over the pitch and being solid defensively. Our best resuilts this year are based on a solid defensive performance and utilsing space on the counter. Please do yourself a favour and dont ask for us to change our entire squad and personnel again just so we can have 90% position and do abolsutely nothing with it, while conceding shed loads ourselves on the counter. So much of the McClaren first spell was fortuatous in that the rest of the division werent used to that kind of football and hadnt worked us out. For his 2nd season, and his return we were largely terrible.

Why do you have to go to the other extreme though? Who's asking for 90% possession? What about just having a bit of co-ordinated attacking intent instead of the hit and hope stuff. Nobodies asking for tiki-taka. You just quoted a poster who wants "positive intent" and bat it off with that? People cry about balance on this forum from the disgruntled lot but this is another perfect example it has to work both ways. I don't see why it's always one extreme or the other. 

There's a big bit of middle ground where our players could try and pass to each other a tad more and attack better as a team, people aren't asking for miracles.

Largely terrible?

Nobody had seen that style of football before?

Utter garbage. We finished with 78 points and a +23 GD. 

As for nobody had seen that type of football in this division before... wow! Just wow. 

How come you point to Cardiff but not Wolves or Fulham 

Btw check our possession stats under Mac. Was about 52% I think. 

Just a garbage post

Cardiff, Fulham and Wolves have better squads than us. I fear that come Saturday normal service will be resumed. Hope I’m wrong but I just can’t see us go on a winning run.

Normal service is a rock solid defence and goals on the counter. That’s what got us to second. This is the blip. So I do hope normal service is resumed.
