JoshTheOwl Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 Frustrating thing is we haven't learnt from last season, ie we have started poorly for the second year running. Newcastle had 2 poor games and since then have won 3 on the trot scoring 7 goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowl Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 A lot was made of our start last season, and CC has previously highlighted it as a reason for our failure to have not mounted a more serious automatic promotion challenge. The truth though was that it barely made any real difference. After 12 games (about 1 quarter of the season), this was the points haul of the teams that would ultimately finish in the top six: First 12 Last 34 Burnley 22 71 Middlesbrough 21 68 Brighton 28 61 Hull 22 61 Derby 21 57 Wednesday 17 57 The point being that our rivals still scored more points than we did over the last three quarters of the season, and the two automatically promoted clubs scored significantly more. So even if we'd have taken the 28 points from the first 12 games that Brighton did last season we would've still fallen short of automatic promotion because of our points haul over the last 34 games. Yes, a good start helps, but it probably wouldn't have made a single difference to last season, and nor will the bad start probably make much difference this season unless we vastly improve on the performances and results that we made in the final three quarters of last season.

latemodelchild Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 Are they Wednesday biased highlights? If I go on Brentfords site do they have a video that makes it look like we were battered, or did we actually batter em? If it had been 4-1 to us the score would have flattered em. The booking for Jones was crazy. Can only assume he said something bad or called the ref something. If this is how refs are going to be from now on we'll be seeing plenty of cards and sending offs. Doubt there'll be any consistency though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tell me how great we were then. We absolutely nearly bottled it. People calling for Carlos's head because they heard on the radio Joao missed a sitter. Cop on ffs April 2016 we played 7, won 3, drew 3 and lost 1. This includes a draw away at playoff rivals Derby then brushing aside Cardiff to secure out spot to allow us to rest players at Wolves. How is that absolutely nearly bottling it? Edited August 28, 2016 by Sonny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flat Owl Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 You can't beat a last minute goal*....... unless you you should be 6-0 up at half time. we had the same last year with that 0-0 at Bolton. Silly points dropped that could be crucial in the final reckoning, But that's sport and this is Wednesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UDMURT Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 I went with a mate whose a brighton fan Before the game I was telling him we aren't the team we were last year ,lacking in confidence and determimation. He looked at me like I was bloody crazy after 30 minutes. Some of the football in the first half was sublime Watch the full match replay and not the highlights and particually not the channel 5 round up. Second half was always going to be difficult to keep up the same pace, then a moment of madenss from a keeper who has kept us in more games than I can remember and a sending off that was part stupid and part rediculously unfair ( unless he said something I don't know about). A great away day from my point of view and in the end a point that could have been three but could have been none also Trumps getting thumped by Burton, that's for sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
