Chris_B_SWFC Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 Two weeks ago we'd have been over the moon with 5 points from those three fixtures, one goal conceded, unbeaten, and with an impressive cup victory to top it off. Yes it's annoying not seeing us on 9 points at the top of that table, I think we've done enough to be there... but doesn't it show how improved we are that us fans are feeling that way? With the way our summer went I honestly wouldn't have been surprised to see us still on zero points at this stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belfast Owl 2 Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 I agree. But conceding as we did tonight was deflating. Plus losing Lee and Hutch is a blow as well. Its the joy of Wednesday I supose- brief hope then harsh reality. Hope we kick on again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanharper Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 Most messed up comment I heard on way out of ground tonight - "we'd have accepted losing to Derby and getting 2 points against Millwall". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McRightSide Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 5 points so far is above par for me. Huge opportunity missed tonight though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theowlsman Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 5 points so far is above par for me. Huge opportunity missed tonight though. Absolutely. Went from a top of the table side, to a midtable side, in 30 seconds. Makes a huge difference psychologically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluesteel Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 I'd never have taken a 96th minute equaliser though. That's never easy to take. More concerned by the growing list of injuries. I can't see us keeping the unbeaten run going much further without our key players. A couple of weeks ago i said I would take 7 points from August. I think we could've done that already which is frustrating. Can we still get to 7? Hopefully. It's amazing how draws count for so little in this league though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Maxine Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 I can't think like that just yet. We were celebrating a win before it went in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LocomotiveOwlerton Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Absolutely. Went from a top of the table side, to a midtable side, in 30 seconds. Makes a huge difference psychologically. Yep, the psychological impact will take a lot of the shine of what was and is a decent result. If the goals had been scored the other way round, with us getting a 95th minute equaliser, everything would be a lot rosier (blue roses, obviously).

Guest wilyfox Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 We've exceeded my expectations for our first three league games. Derby and Brighton were both contesting the play-offs just three months ago, and Millwall are a very different proposition these days - as are we.

Guest Big Guns Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 it doesnt excuse the fact that we shud have a t least 2 more points now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest wilyfox Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 it doesnt excuse the fact that we shud have a t least 2 more points now Brighton and Derby will feel the same. O'Grady should have scored against us, Russell should also have scored against us. It balances out somewhat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, I cant see any any really bad sides other than Blackpool this season. There's something about Millwall though, you always feel like you shouldve beaten them.

gurujuan Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Hell yes, when I look at that squad, I'd have settled for three points from those games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

modboy Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Agree, i thought we would have a max of 4pts by now, prob a loss to Brighton, draw with Derby (at best) and a win last night. Really need to improve the squad depth though and IF we were to lose the next 2, which is a real possibility then the good work will have been undone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PortlandOwl Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 I know its early in the season and we all know, with Wednesday being Wednesday, it could all implode at any moment but from what i've seen so far, i'm much more confident of a top ten finish, which i think everyone should be happy with.

Eightace Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 (edited) Expected a point from Brighton and win and a draw from the home games. We are pretty solid but lacking a cutting edge.Its frustrating but im sure we'll bring players in and we have lee and lavery to come back. Bit frustrated that we couldn't get them in during the summer but ya know. Edited August 20, 2014 by Eightace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modboy Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 still crying out for a winger and midfield creative type.... bet we are still saying this this time next season. BUT these 2 players would lift us close to the playoffs imo, barr a big injury list to the current team (which might be happening already) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
