Guest ka58 Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Do people think we'll win every game? We didn't lose tonight. So many get carried away with Wednesday - lower your expectations to something more realistic. Being in with a shout of play offs is massive progress. Getting in there would be fantastic. Our away form has cost us this season - to get in we need to improve that. If we don't make it - we have still come on leaps and bounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morepork Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Think we have been sussed out a bit, needs a mix up There's some truth to this for sure, I'd say we're a little one dimensional, when it works its great but if teams set up correctly against us as Preston did then we do need the ability to mix it up a little more than we currently can. Last weekends result was a case of this, Preston did well, we weren't as bad as some suggest though. Tonight I've only heard to commentary but it sounds like a case of missed opportunities, we've been pretty clinical thus far, not so tonight. One of those things.

markowl Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 I've called it. Got a bit carried away but reckon we will drop off now. Dropped valuable points in two games. Not good enough.

Minton Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 1 point is an awful return from the past two games Like Boro playing Bristol, MK, Forest, Blackburn and Leeds before tonight and getting 2 points? Or Derby getting 6 points since Jan 1st? It's a dip in form, it happens to all teams, we just need to try and get past it and not have some of our fans flouce themselves to death every time we have an off couple of games.

southportdc Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 By May we could be ten points clear or ten points back for the playoffs. Relax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S_W_F_C Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 If be surprised if we don't make a move in the loan market very soon, especially as a 93 day loan will very soon take you to the play off final Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modboy Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 We are getting a little bit bullied in midfield at the moment, hence why we often punted it to Nuhiu tonight. Feel we need an alternative to Lee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluesteel Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 I agree we have come on leaps and bounds regardless but I'd be gutted if we didn't make the top six from here. We shouldn't even contemplate that now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orlando_Trustful Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 I still have no doubt we'll get more points than Birmingham, Cardiff and Ipswich over the rest of the season. And that's not even taking into account our current point advantage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modboy Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 At the end all joao needed to do was head it down also. Plus hooper looked off form. Penalty was awful but collective responsibility Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S36 OWL Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 I've called it. Got a bit carried away but reckon we will drop off now. Dropped valuable points in two games. Not good enough. Gone up a place to fifth Onwards and upwards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 We were the better side tonight and should've won but we got something from the game when everything was going against us and that's an improvement on last season. We would've lost this last season and TBH as sh!te as QPR were tonight they will take points off our play-off rivals because they are that spawny. For me our style of play will get us in the playoffs in the end because we've got variety and a lot of our rivals are one trick ponies that rely on solid play and harranging the officials. That will only take you so far. I'm happy and content with the direction we're going in. If some on here aren't, then just think to 2 years ago when we where in the sh!te. You surely would've then taken where we are now, surely? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously doubt most of our current opposites are one trick ponies too, that said we are a better team (and getting better results than two years ago), still can't help but think your beer goggles are getting the best of you though... We need to be a little realistic on both sides but not sure that is really going to happen.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMOwl72 Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 We have lost momentum somewhat with the last two results. That's important in this league. Need to get back to winning ways soon which maybe another game or two just yet. Got to take the rough with the smooth. Great wins for Brighton and Hull tonight and home wins as expected for Boro and Burnley. Our results was poor and looks worse because of this.

Captain Sl-OWL-ly Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Birmingham operate on a wafer thin squad they will run out of steam. When exactly ? We're now through what are traditionally the most draining months on squads yet they are still there, wonder what their fans are now saying about us..? Squads don't guarantee succsess, if they did we'd have beat Preston... Let's hope we smash Hull and all will be reyt ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's your opinion on tonight then, oh wise one? Are you going to tell me we didn't deserve to win then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
