handworth52 Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 10 hours ago, Mr. Tom said: Boyd got a shoulder injury. The thing about 'running too much' was a kiiiiiinda joke that really didn't scan well IMO - it came literally a fortnight after CC going on about how amazing Lee was with all his running, then Lee's hip fell off. I saw the Boyd comment as somewhat wry. Abdi a completely different story IMO, he's done in - even if he gets fit, I don't see him coming back from such an absence with any real force at his age. Would LOVE to be proven wrong. a lot of our players have got such a comfy lifestyle contracts for life ,so someone like abdi probably aint got the desire like a player on his last 6 months of contract to prove himself. that's the biggest problem we have I'm sure is its all too comfortable for our players all on long lucrative contracts big houses, fast cars set for life.

Give your head a wobble boy. Two play-off failures and now 15th in December, 10 points off the top 6. We've achieved nothing and won nothing, but I'm glad you had a lovely day out at Wembley and enjoyed the experience of those 2 play-off games against Huddersfield. You'll not be getting the play-offs again under Carlos so best cherish such precious memories, boy.

alanharper Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 Yeah Dave, we may be playing the worst, most boring negative football since Irvine was here despite having the highest paid squad and highest matchday ticket prices in our history, be 15th in the table and 10 points behind the playoffs by December with absolutely no sign of improvement when the season's objective is promotion - but stop knee jerking 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can forgive Carlos for Wembley, although we didn't turn up, I think Hull were a better side all over. But last seasons 4th place finish was a failure. Play Offs were there for the taking and we bottled it. This season absolute disaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give your head a wobble lass, we once beat Arsenal 3-0 in the cup and Carlos gave 30 minute interviews on Sky so our current season and the fact we are still in this league with nothing to show for our endeavours is irrelevant. Do you want Dave Allen back or sumthin is that it? Or are you a dirty little piggy? Yes you gotta be an oinker, scared to death of the thrashing you are gonna get at Brammal Lane soon. Get ready to be outplayed around the back four and have less possession than us, that'll teach you piggy.,. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolute moron. 21 games Dave. It’s only 21 games. We’ve only dropped 36 points. We only need to win the next SIX games to just match our points total from last season after 27 games. Carlos has only had more money to spend than any manager in our history. Stop knee jerking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO it's the negative, defensive, slow, boring style of play he insists on sticking to that has caused this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birley Owl 1867 Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 I like how people refer to the dark days of Allen to justify us being this bobbar right now. How bobbar we was 15 years ago is irrelevant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What sodding difference would it make if 27'000 Owls fans sang "We're gonna win the league" Doesn't make one 'apporth of difference Its the attitude of the Chairman , the Coach and the players...Fans have no choice in the direction, bar paying on the gate and shoutin'...That worked out well didn't it?

Buxtongent Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 The thing that worries me is not just the number of players bought in by Carlos then being 'long-term injured' This is NO NEW THING, and is not just applicable to Carlos. I well remember as far back as a winger we bought a long while ago, who played very few games with us before he picked up a career ending injury, despite his spending every day running from bottom to top of the old , uncovered Kop.One Eddie Kilshaw. The thin that worries me is the frequency such things occur., and why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put it this way, I'm immensley glad we don't have 27,000 who are happy with the way this team has been playing, with the results we've been getting or are happy to be 15th after 21 matches in our third attempt at a promotion season. I think it's important for us as fans to hold the club to a higher set of standards than the likes of Finlux_Cup are happy to blindly accept, and thankfully these people are a minority.

As fans I think we have been asked to contribute enough to be able to expect more in return than merely to exist at a slightly higher standard than when we almost went bust.

Can’t help but think some of these must be milking it.

Absolute moron. so the 8000 supporters who stuck with the club in there darkest hour were to blame for it lasting so long and we have to thank the 20000 who stayed away when the good times came back as unsurprisingly so did the 20000.
