Beholder Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 (edited) For us to get promoted the Premier league this season. We are actually very consistent in the way we play. Very predictable in our approach. The opposites know exactly what they need to do to stifle us and it works. Carvalhal is reluctant to do anything other than what he has been doing all season. Same formation. Same players depending on availability. He failed to recognise the obvious when Lee got injured. He needed to replace the engine room and didn't. With eight games to go I predict the same inconsistency with the odd surprise win that won't be enough to get us into the playoffs. It will take a miracle for us to get promoted under Carlos Carvalhal. Edited March 21, 2017 by Bodhidharma Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sultan_Pepper Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Thanks for this great new thread. It's brought a lot of new insight and enlightenment to the debate. 2 weeks to the next match.Time for an owlstalk holiday I think. See you in April everyone. (who am I kidding?)

Guest Deleted member Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 The desperation to see us fail in some quarters is very sad. Not surprising. But nonetheless very sad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
offalyowl Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 I think we will just about make it but only if we can beat Fulham in the last game of the season but don't think we win them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inspector Lestrade Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 (edited) As there has never been a demonstrated proven miracle then by your logic we won't go up this season. I wouldn't recommend praying either. Edited March 21, 2017 by Holmes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shezzas left peg Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 (edited) Nothing that hasn't been said a hundred times by the rebels on here and upset the happy clappers over the last few days. Me I'm just dreading the fact that with so many key players in the jock squad, I'm gonna have to cheer the ginger midget on and hope they play well. And get a good result. Grr for our players form sake. Edited March 21, 2017 by shezzas left peg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheEnchanter Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Think miracle is more if we were in mid table. As it is we're 6th so a lot closer to it being 'a tough job' rather than a miracle. It's not easy in the Championship for anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthefish2002 Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Think miracle is a bit strong. Just looked and we are 4/1 for promotion with some bookmakers which is a bit stingy would say about 9/1 myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we finish in the top 6, then it's anyone's for the taking. Negativity like yours is astounding as we come up to the most important part of the season when we should all be pulling together. I do wonder how people coped when we were crap. In fact where were this vocal minority two or three seasons ago? I'm sure you'll be at Wembley though should the 'miracle' happen.

Cos that's all that's important to me. Being right on Owlstalk. I don't want to go to a playoff final and watch us win it. Why the flip would I want that?

HOOTIE AND THE SHIT TU Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 We're lulling everyone into a false sense of security Then we're going to smash them all in the play offs Just a bloke, who used up all his luck in one go when he met his wife.
