Bukta Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 (edited) I blame Milan he needs to spend big wisely to compete Corrected BG. Out of interest does any know how our budget compares to the other 23 Championship teams? Edited November 9, 2012 by Bukta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DazUK Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 It's ok if we've put up a fight or been doing ok / having a decent run. But we're awful, got out classed by Blackpool at home and have looked shocking for most if the season. That statement is the problem with some of our fans.....unfortunately Blackpool are a better team than us now.....We were a div one team now finding our feet in a much harder division.

Guest Warren Hobhead Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 We need to ditch the yellow away shirts, seriously, we are always sh!te with yellow away shirts. Look what happened at Ipswich with the grey away kiy, seriously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigdan2003 Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 (edited) Are we just going to rely on beating the teams in the relegation zone then? No, but we can't expect to go and beat a very good team either. Away from home. Expectation is the key thing here. Some folk expect us to rip the league apart... I didn't expect us to win tonight. But I do expect us to have a good go, and I didn't see that to be honest, and i didnt see it the previous game. I saw sloppy play, and some players being too soft. Frustrating performance, apart from the 10 or 15 mins where we did well, just after we scored. Really frustrating performances.

fife_owl Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 (edited) Did one of you expect owt but a loss tnite really ffs My problem is that I think we are far better than that. We signed Palace's and Watford's best players. We have a top drawer keeper. We have Buxton, who we have seen play well at this level. We signed Bothroyd and Barkley - both premiership players and then stole a future star from Rangers. Throw in COG, who started the season on fire, Madine who is good when on form and the improving Antonio and I'm baffled that we find ourselves setup so negatively. Oh and Semedo. So I don't think I am a divvy for being disappointed with that!! Edited November 9, 2012 by fife_owl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scilly owl Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 The worst performance tonight was Dave Jones's with the Sky reporter....that was truely embarrassing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yowl84 Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 Charlton pretty much conceded against cardiff didn't they. No excuses, we need the points so we might as well have a go at these teams Fair point, but I think we did have a go tonight, as far as possible. We just never really looked to have enough going forward to worry boro, apart from a brief spell when they (uncharacteristically) gave the ball away.

swfc-dan Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 Its not the fact that we lost to the team who has gone top. If we had played with more cohesion at times and not given up after 2-1 then I think there would be more positives to take. But there were many worrying signs. I just hope we have enough in us to stay up and that we get some more experienced players in to help us. A scary thought, but what if Antonio was to be out for some reason? We'd be toothless. Positives from tonight were Antonio again and Gary Madine who I thought worked hard and showed his calm finishing. Madine did seem to be (slowly!) coming into the game at 1-1. Started showing some nice skill and seemed up for it, sadly few others apart from Antonio seemed to be so we made little else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Fedor Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 (edited) We are in a mini league of about 6 teams at the bottom of the table fighting to survive. As said we need to win against the others in trouble. Edited November 9, 2012 by Fedor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flash1mongo Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 Did one of you expect owt but a loss tnite really ffs We can't just roll over and expect defeat because they are at top of league. U can't just hope to beat the teams that are worse than us it doesn't give us enough points. Answer me one question if Wigan had adopted this approach of there at top of league so were goin to loose n that's ok would they still be a premiership club ?

Guest Deleted member Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 Charlton ran away with the division last year - and are also struggling Those who say we should have kept last years squad together arent living in the real world This division is miles away in quality from League One - it will take time to adjust and build a squad People need to get a grip - and be patient Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkeye Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 Fair point, but I think we did have a go tonight, as far as possible. We just never really looked to have enough going forward to worry boro, apart from a brief spell when they (uncharacteristically) gave the ball away. He waited til 3-1 down to put two up top. That's not having a go in my eyes. We were far too negative. Middlesboros midfield must have thought it was Christmas with the amount of time and space they were given.

shez owl Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 The reality is that at the moment the step up has been too great for Buxton, jones, semedo, corry, McCabe, COG, madine and even Antonio at times, throw into that Barkley who is still learning and llera who has been up and down and bothroyd who has not done anything really, it's no wonder we are struggling. This league in the last season and a half has rapidly turned into an extension of the bottom half of the prem, teams who have come down have done so with little debt and very good players, teams in this league have found sugar daddies. It's shows how well Barnsley have actually done and probably why united went down. I still believe we will turn it around enough to finish clear of bottom 3 but its going to be close and an uncomfortable ride, changing manager will not change this.
