ThePrisoner Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 It's true it's a horrible run, we all said this when the fixtures came out. There's always a horrible run but we've had all the relegated PL teams together! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jourdan Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 They do. But to be honest, looking at the fixtures can be misleading. Before a ball had been kicked, I thought we had a good chance of getting off to a good start with Reading and Blackburn at home and Luton away. We ended up losing all three games. I think the scary thing for us is that we can’t take anything as a given at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Van der MoodHoover Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 With the benefit of hindsight we were soooo undercooked at the start of the season i wish we'd had this run at the start. Wed then be thinking "blackburn and Luton look like games we can pick up points in." Maybe wouldn't have made any difference against reading given their start.

Of course not but if you played Liverpool every week I think most teams would struggle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DublinRam Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 To be fair the only team that played against us that looked good/impressive was Blackburn and potentially Norwich , it’s more down to how poor we are at the moment rather than the opposition IMO , we had barrow and still couldn’t beat them sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOB BIGGS Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 The good news is that it will even itself out. 5 points so far in a month where many said we wouldn’t get one? If anyone needs a break from our alleged woes, have a look at Owlstalk. Many on there are saying that their team are better than their current position and all it needs is a new manager to get the best of of the players (does that sound familiar)? That man is Nigel Pearson apparently? Unhappily, they don’t like Jack Marriott at all. They say he hasn’t touched the ball yet. Frying pan to fire by the sound of it.....

Coneheadjohn Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 Worst fixture for us would be Wycombe. If we didn’t beat them comfortably it would cause the biggest pile on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why on earth would I do that? I know where I'd prefer to be playing right now. Colin will do a job I'm sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ram59 Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 As it has turned out, after the Bournmouth game, we will have played 5 of the top 9, but only 1 of the bottom 8 teams. As Curtains said, I thought Reading were good and their results since have continued in the same vain, maybe they'll be the club that pulls away.

We shouldn't need any excuses,we have played no one special yet...there's no Leeds or Newcastle in the league,it's the weakest in years and we should be doing better and must do better. A few weeks ago,it was rooneys fault,then our lack of a striker,then no wingers...now,it's because other teams are better than us. Jeeez mate.

I have watched us against Watford, Forest and Norwich. Norwich looked really good in spells and really should have won, but Watford and Forest didn’t strike any fear into me at all. They looked very average actually and we were comfortable for the majority of the game. We were well beaten by Blackburn and Reading, but I honestly think we made them look better than they actually are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We ended up losing all three games. As a mitigating factor we had no fit players. Cocu's reign has been littered with valid mitigating factors more than any other manager in history. And he never complains or uses excuses which to his credit. He never wins any games either like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
