S36 OWL Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 We have lost two games in that period. Not good enough . Carlos out, Chansiri out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Key Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 Yep, we've been extremely lucky; we can't keep on winning playing like this, teams have sussed us out, not good enough, he's useless, he's overrated, they're all overpaid, Carlos hasn't got a Plan B, etc, etc.. Have we got some (or all?) of the most pessimistic fans in football? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salmonbones Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 The stats books will only show the above. They don't show the blindingly obvious (at this point in time, to those who see) though, but....what is the point stating the blindingly obvious to people posting things such as this. Putting things into context, Carlos has been about 12 pieces of luck away from losing his job this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomtheOwl95 Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 8 clean sheets in 15, that's very impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain30 Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 (edited) What strikes me is that the top six have hardly missed a beat and chances are there will be no slip ups in the final 15 games...and...that Brighton result is going to be massive at end of season.

Never mind. Forgot to add.. -won our last 3 with top centre back, centre mid and centre forward out injured. -won last 3 with no form and without hitting 2nd gear -maybe best of all, our record signing scored on his home debut AND hand writes letters to children who support him!!

Over the years "lucky" teams have almost always started out by being very hard to beat, frustrating the opposition, winning ugly, building confidence, creating an aura around themselves and going on to build from there. You can play and win with flair once you've earned the right. Those other old 'uns on here will remember how Liverpool did that in the 1970's, and how over the years both Arsenal and Man Utd have learned to win first and become expansive later. It might not be as pretty as people would like to see but from where I sit we're going in the right direction and at all levels of the club we're building some seriously solid foundations. It might not be this year - we'll soon see - but there's every reason to be optimistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pickledegghiderman Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Last season we might have played more attractive football but we seemed to come unstuck against the top teams and the teams at the bottom. We are definitely harder to beat this season and as long as we keep winnng games then we should all still back the manager. If we dont make the playoffs this year then we should have to assess which way we should go. UTO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greengrass Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Imagine the meltdown if we were mid table, having a season like Villa. To get to the prem ain't going to be pretty all the time and yes we have had some luck, but we have strength in depth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owly Mowly Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 I'm always very positive, but I have to say that I am concerned after the performance the other night. I kept thinking that at some point we would improve, but the whole 90 minutes was awful and we were very lucky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a funny thing, luck, isn't it? I think this quote best sums it up: "I am a great believer in luck. The harder I work, the more of it I seem to have."
