What is the Huddersfield player hadn't missed the shot against Roos? What if the Hull keeper had held onto the Buchanan shot etc You can't just ignore events... We got what we deserved in all three games we've played. At the end of the season we'll end up exactly where we deserve to be.

There have been plenty of occasions where teams have lost games due to either the ref having a stinker or an opposition player cheating. These are points that you never get back. I also don't believe that it evens up over the season. Carl Sagan, rynny, Yani P and 5 others 3 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abu Derby Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 It’s far too early to pass judgment on Chris Hughton and his Merry Men. Ellafella and MickD 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why does last seasons form come into it? If we had won 3 out of 3 this season would you say we have won 4 in 18 or 3 out of 3? And, if you do want to include last season, Forest are now 2 wins in 17 so pretty similar to us.

BBG83 Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 (edited) Sounds ridiculous, but Rooney's lack of experience is probably what's keeping him at the club. An experienced manager wouldn't suffer the same - and wouldn't have attracted Jagielka/Morrison to the club. I don't think Rooney is brilliant or great but got to admire him for what he is doing for the club during an awful period. And if/when it passes we could actually have a very good manager. Sink or swim scenario. Edited August 20, 2021 by BBG83 RadioactiveWaste, archram and therealhantsram 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still think had someone more experienced, particularly at dragging limited teams to respectable finishes, come in after cocu we'd have been perfectly comfortable as a lower midtable "bit rubbish championship team" last season. therealhantsram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was an interesting article in the Sunday Times on Brentford where it was stated they don’t buy into the “luck evens out” thing and that they analyse every thing including when things went for them on a fortunate decision etc. Also mentioned when they are scouting players they go on forums such as this and interact with the super fans who have seen the player of interest 100s of times, not just the few they can afford to watch in person.

Jimbo Ram Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 Let's not get carried away. Four points in nine against 3 of the poorer teams in the Championship. Hopefully we can build on this and get the two home wins in our next two home games. I will be judging Wazza after 10 league games this season. Let's see where we are then.

Not getting carried away, but we only got 5 points from 18 against the bottom 3 last season. A month ago, I was fearing that we wouldn't be able to compete in this league, but now, I feel that we have a reasonable chance of survival, which must be the aim for this season. Games against the likes of WBA and Fulham are likely to be painful, but most of the other games should be winnable. Jimbo Ram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comrade 86 Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 Don't think anyone is getting carried away to be honest. It was a good win, an enjoyable game to watch too and folk are understandably buoyed. Emerging from an epidemic, supporting a club enduring a couple of years you could not even make up, most will take their small mercies where they find them.

It is funny how daring to enjoy a victory is often categorised as "getting carried away" by certain posters on here. If we can't enjoy the wins then what the hell is the point?!

The same misfortune / inconsistencies would apply to other clubs in our league so it evens itself out - i.e. it's not that we literally get a piece of luck to allow an offside goal or get a favourable decision from a ref to balance the opposite events previously...

Hopefully we are on the way up now but Wayne is an extremely inexperienced manager and we have seem the consequences of that in previous matches....let's hope he is learning quickly. I certainly wouldn't want to be crowing over Chris Hughton's current record (although I'm happy to see forest struggling obvs) as he's a manager I have a lot of respect for and it's likely to come back and haunt us if we do.
