Earlsfieldowl Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 1 hour ago, areNOTwhatTHEYseem said: We've got a 61% win rate under Carlos at Hillsborough. I can't remember the last Wednesday manager who instilled me with such confidence that we'd win our home games. Statistics mean very little with Derbies - proper ones, not Rotherham etc.. At home Last season we had a tendacy to turn up for the second half and rarely forced the pace. Cant afford that next term as the Blunts will be in our faces right from the off. We don't like that. Dont share you optimism for the home matches - its away where I think we will do better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe because he's incapable of posting anything that isn't negative. At no point under Carlos have I seen a lack of commitment or motivation from the players. To suggest otherwise is simply to have a dig for the sake of it. we got 10 points out of a possible 12 from our derby games last season. Just because we've not got around throwing in big tackles or running around like headless chickens in derby games it doesn't mean we don't won't want to win. We've approached them professionally and got the results we needed. I see no reason whatsoever to question whether we will do the same against the blunts next year.

pgmetcalf Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 This pride and passion lark the pigs keep on going about doesn't win games. What wins games is skill, fitness, intuition, anticipation and knowledge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

torryowl Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 they'll come looking for a battle and if we square up to them we are playing the game they want to play instead of our own .......we play well we'll win we are better than them . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrickyTrev Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 It's a legitimate concern but thankfully there's a gulf in class between the two sides to help compensate. Wilder will have to get his players fired up for this one as quite frankly if they're not giving 110% in these games they'll lose them both.

Ever the pessimist Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 4 hours ago, oh_weds_we_love_you said: Based on what though? Our record against the local sides has been good under Carlos. Rotherham = 9 from 12 Barnsley = 4 from 6 Leeds = 4 from 12 Huddersfield = 10 from 12 Leeds is disappointing, though Carlos' first season saw 4 points from 6 against Leeds. Play-off games are a lottery and won't affect league games against United, so I'm not worried about those. Not including Hull or Boro because they aren't derbies IMO. Based on little but our weakness against teams that make the match a battle. Plus I am still haunted by 91/92 which, for some reason this coming season makes me think of.

We lost because Carlos royally messed it up. Huddersfield were not some superstar fantastic team. We lost because Carlos got it very very wrong. We don't have to ask Reading. I was there. We lost because Carlos had a season of being spineless. He needs to change or he can go. Please stop with the "lottery" rubbish. Carlos got it wrong. Very wrong.
